I've just been over to my local branch of Boots, they may not have any remote control CCs but they have got console related stock they want to get rid of. I picked up an XBox DVD remote for £13.33 (down from £19.99); they also had an XBox controller down from £24.99 to £16.66 and various bits of PS2 and Gamecube stuff (including a few games).
If you happen to be passing a branch of boots it might be worth a quick look.
