Need help identifying a remote for purchase (1 Viewer)

HELP!

I found an MCE Remote Control on eBay, but it says that it's a Dell Media Center remote control. By the looks of the picture, it looks like a plain old MCE Remote Control to me. I need someone to help me with this one.

eBay item # 5879710353

Thanks so much.

Yep, looks like an OEM Microsoft remote - maybe Dell bundles them with their MCE systems. It doesn't seem to have the MS logo on it, but I'll bet it works exactly the same.

Once $10 shipping is factored in, I don't think that's an outstanding deal.. I got mine from a local computer parts store for about the same price. The OEM stuff is usally cheaper than the retail cause it isn't packaged.

Thanks for your reply. It really helped.

Yeah, I went around some local stores here in Central California, but none had the Microsoft Remote Control. That's why I turned to online purchasing. I thought for sure CompUSA and Fry's Electronics would have it, but they didn't. :?

Actually, I take back the comment I made about Fry's, though. They did have a Remote Control called StreamZAP. However, it looked kind of cheesy compared to the MS remote and didn't see Media Portal listed on the package as being supported. So I didn't take the chance and bought it. Just a thought!
