Has anyone used the $200 internet-programmable remote?

Best Buy's got a $40 MIR on it:

I've got so many things that use different remotes -- Stereo, TV, DVD player, VCR. I keep looking back at it and wondering if it's really worth $200 (or even $160 AR) because that's a lot of money. But there's also the novelty of hooking your remote control to your computer and using the internet to program it.

 

If anyone has anything to say about this (or similar) remotes, please do. Thanks.

I never seen a remote that cost $50. Luckily I have 2. 1 satellite tv remote that controls satellite receiver, vcr, and tv. And one stereo remote.

if you're just a basic user, get one of the 8 devices universal remote control and you can reduce your remote control to only one. they're usually free or some $5 after rebate at OfficeMax. BF is over, but they're usually on sale at OM about once every month or so.

Hey Brad and Ross, thanks very much for your input! After reading that review, I am convinced that I need that remote. Our family does a lot of remote swapping and getting up to power on the DVD player, etc. In fact, our 5-year-old $5 TV remote just died, which is why I stumbled upon this amazing gadget. I've even had to throw out VCR's in the past just because I lost the remote. But I digress.

 

However, I will need to get it from Best Buy as I am paying for a majority of it in Best Buy Bucks/Best Buy gift card. The $40 rebate makes it more bearable to buy it retail. Again, thanks for your feedback!
