Just waiting for.the Android version to get this update. I want to use it to download xbla games while I'm at work so they're installed by the time I get home.
A lot of hate here for an option thing that is actually pretty cool...
Been using it on my Windows Phone for months (Although obviously nobody writes articles about that. Shame.)
Of course it's easier to use a 360 controller, but the app shows more detail about what you're watching and lets you browse the content while watching something else.
It's not just a controller.

What's that? I can install games from work now, so they're ready to play when I get home? Yeah, that's stupid, no one will ever use that.
@mrxbob and it won't turn off after 10 minutes without using it.
I am also pretty certain the majority the hate hasn't arrived yet cause there is nothing people like complaining about more than optional features that don't affect them.

Awesome! Now, instead of picking up the controller and launching a game, I can pick up my iPad instead, launch the game, set the iPad down, then pick up the controller and play!
So convenient!

the basic concept is great, but the functionality is still very limited. I have some DVD collections I've ripped to a portable HDD and I can't use the iPhone/iPad controls to use the basic play/pause/rewind/advance features. It seems to only work on downloaded movies from the marketplace. I HATE using the Xbox controller because the movie playback controls are pretty shitty (so I generally use the PS3 instead) and I was hoping that this app would provide better functionality - but I guess if I want to watch movies on my Xbox I'm still better to just invest in an Xbox remote. (the Fast forward function in particular seems really bad for some reason).
Still... I like the concept and I'm sure they'll continue to improve it.

So wait they add new OPTIONAL functionality for devices you already own for free(the app is free isnt it?), and people bitch about it? Thats like paying for a handjob and then getting a free blowjob instead and then complaining about how a blowjob is too similar to a handjob.
I mean its really NOTHING like that but Im going to make the comparison anyway.

Perhaps this will light a fire under Sony's rear to make Remote Play on the Vita more functional. I want to play Megaman 9 while I'm on the can, dammit!
nothing like owning 5 products to do the same thing you can do with the original product all by itself..
im sick and tired of product integration. just an excuse to make consumers think they need all this junk to "enjoy" their movies etc.

Isn't it great that today we have to "pre-start" a game? I usually start the game and go pee, check my email or something in those lines, because the amount of sponsors and logos that we have to wait for before the game actually starts is rivaling TV ads.
Worst of all, this stuff is mandatory. I remember that Killzone 2 or 3 gave the option of skipping them, but Sony told them to take the option out.

I forgot to put in the part where if you choose to enable this optional update, your iPad becomes a sentient being, eats your Xbox 360, then haunts your dreams as it mocks your loved ones.
What a worthless idea. Why don't you hook up the old NES 2 button control pads to the 360 too while you're at it.

I was wondering how this slipped into the app store. Apple isn't generally keen on giving any concessions to competitors. But the murder pad does make a lot of sense, and would seem to fit right into their MO.

You can now control a Microsoft product with an apple product.
Or in other words today Microsoft learned the meaning of the word irony.

It is kind of funny that you need to own a five hundred dollar device to adequately control a three hundred dollar one. But really - I find navigating the 360 with a controller to be pretty abysmal since the new metro update was pushed out. Really, anything outside of Kinnect - is probably better to use.
I don't understand how Microsoft continues to screw up at every step. Watching them try to control the living room is like watching the three stooges try and run a barbershop.

I can control a wireless device that plays movies and games with FOUR different devices? I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE STOPPED AT TWO. I dislike progression in general, and anything that gives me more options just makes me scared and confused.

I don't know.. If it doesn't kick my dog then I don't think I can care too much. Dog kicking is a game changer.

It's gonna be updated into something amazing. Just like most apps. While the gamers hide in the corner, hissing at any progress.
Woot! Some SmartGlass stuff would've been nice but oh well. It's still one step closer to something that could really enhance digital media.
I'm sure we're still years away, but I can see a future where while watching an NFL game on the big-screen, I'll be able to change camera angles on the fly with the tablet. As well as access instant-replays on demand and get real time player stats and such. True web-tv!
Change is good!

never understood why gamers are so against new FREE functionality.
car radios, gps and cup holders? Cars should do one thing and one thing only, drive!
since when did gamers turn into crotchety 90 year old men.

I'm not against it so much as I think the people at Microsoft should be spending their time working on things that are actually worth it. Not this shit.

Can you download patches or install downloadable games? I assume you also cannot turn your Xbox on by iPad. It sounds as pointless as the Windows 8 connection.
The only use I can see for this is watching Netflix, and does anyone actually use there Xbox as a Netflix machine?

Where are people getting the idea that they can use it to remotely start games downloads? It's not in the iphone app and although I haven't tried the ipad version, I don't see anything regarding that capability.
FWIW, I've messed around with the iphone version and each time I find myself wondering what's the point? It just makes everything more cumbersome.

Frankly it'd be easier to "jump right into the game" if game interfaces weren't clunky and based on legacy hardware.
Do I really need to see the publishers, developers, and the game engine's brand name before I start the game?
Do I really need to press start to begin? I already 1) turned the box on 2) put/had the disc in 3) chose it from a menu 4) waited through the publisher credits. Splash pages are reviled online, but they survive in games for no good reason. Arcades and CRTs are dead, and the cinematics that roll when I leave a new game idle are pointless. And why start, X, A, or A+B? Any button usually works.
And speaking of new games, why is "Start a New Game" often the first option? A proper menu would read
* Continue Game A
* Continue Game B...
* New Game
And often there's another step from there, where I decide to start, rename or delete the saved game, like I'll ever do the latter two.
Ideally, I should be able to load the game from the system menu, given the sophistication of such menus.
