Now that all the game consoles play DVD or Bluray discs, it seems funny that there isn’t a stream of universal remotes out there that support the PlayStations, Xboxs, and Media Center. Well there is at least one that does and its name makes sure you understand its intention: GAMER.

UR7-G2 Universal GAMER is the first universal remote control that not only works with many audio and video components in your home but also comes with keys specific to game consoles such as Xbox 360, PlayStation, PS2 & media center PCs. To be announced tomorrow in Las Vegas at CES, Universal Remote Control, Inc. will finally give gamers and audiophiles alike to use one remote. Isn’t that what a universal remote is for anyway? The GAMER will let you play, pause, and commit other movie functions as well as play a video game. Since the remote is well thought out, both lefties and righties will be able to use the remote without issue.

The Universal GAMER also packs two new features, MacroPower and SimpleSound. MacroPower ignites (or extinguish) your A/V components with a single button along with switching sources and inputs. SimpleSound gives you the “one-touch” control over volume including devices that do not have volume control natively such as TiVos, DVD players, and VCRs.

For just $49.95, this universal remote with 64 KB of non-volatile Flash memory, that’ll give you 9 dedicated macro buttons (supporting 20 commands each) that will work from 30 to 50 feet away seems mighty nice. Game on.
