I went to Fry's and they had some remotes, the Gyration looked sweet but was very expensive. They had a couple from Anywhere, they looked cheap and the buttons were pretty small and had a weird layout. The Pinnacle one the buttons were tiny and it was kind of pricey. Phillips has a few that look SWEET but they don't seem to be for sale in the US. I had my heart set on the Dell rebagged Gyration, but getting it working on a PC with Dell no longer selling the part needed for the receiver I don't know if it's worth the hassle of trying to find it.
Since I'll just be controlling XBMC I don't need a fancy Harmony, I am looking at the Firefly but have heard under Vista it's kind of iffy. Saw the PS3 one, haven't read much about using it on XBMC but it seems to work fine from what I did see about it. Does anyone know if Phillips plans to release their Vista remotes in the US? I'm not seeing any locally I really like and on the Internet the selection seems no better
