hey what's going on everyone I'm Jeff Bakalar for cnet.com we're here in the amazing scene at New York lab where all the magic happens today I'm going to show you how you can control your xbox 360 with your iPhone now oddly enough this will only work with the iPhone even though the my xbox live app is available for the iPod Touch and the I pet only going to work with the iPhone so make sure your Xbox and the iPhone are both connected to the same home network that's really easy to do so the first thing you're going to want to do is let your Xbox be available on the home network for control so you go into system settings console settings and then you're going to want to go down to Xbox Companion make that available and then your iPhone should be able to detect the Xbox on your home network you can then tell the my Xbox Live app to connect to the Xbox you should get a pop up so once everything is connected and you've got the companion notification on screen will be a fake Xbox controller and can use it to start scrolling through the sides of the menu it's pretty cool very easy to complete unfortunately you can't use it on an iPod Touch or an iPad for whatever reason it only works with the iPhone and you're not really going to want to play any video games with the on-screen controller because let's be honest it's nothing like using a real Xbox controller I hope this tutorial was easy enough to follow I'm Jeff Bakalar for cnet.com thanks for watching you
