Remote Control on Vista/XP

Can you recommend a wireless remote control for controlling media
applications (e.g. cyberlink powerdvd) on Vista and XP?

Also, I have the XBox 360 HD-DVD player hooked up to my PC (works
great!) and it came with a remote - are there any receives with
software packages that will allow the 360 controller to control my PC?

Thanks!

Almost perfect parts are Gyration's
"Media Center Remote"
http://www.gyration.com/en-US/Produc...0001&accshow=3

and
"Universal Remote Control for PC,Media Center, and Audio/Video
Functions"
http://www.gyration.com/en-US/Produc...01US&accshow=3

But you might better wait a little bit for their new "New ULTRA R4000
Remote"

The most important thing with those is the unique feature of the cursor
steered by the motion of one's hand.

Those options are way too expensive for me. I am looking for
something under $50.
