Well i'll lay out the basics of what i think about this product right now: - Although its a nice luxury to have, its not really needed, everything on the remote can be done with the PS3 gamepad by using the On Screen Display. - There is a wide range of buttons, even more so than a DVD remote. - The controller can be used to play games, in some slow paced games it could be used as an additional controller. Well there you have it, its a nice piece of kit, but not really needed in my opinion, only reason why i have one is that it came with mine when i bought my PS3. As i said before, there are lots of buttons, too many ...  Read the complete review

When I first realised that Sony were selling a Blu Ray remote control for the PS3, my response was: why bother? With the PS3 controllers being wireless, why part with £15 to do the exact same thing your PS3 controller can do anyway? While it might benefit the lazy and those who are using the PS3 just as a Blu Ray player, I can't really imagine why any gamer would waste money on this when the controller itself works fine. As a general remote control, it is pretty good, though, and is at least well laid out for those who can't get to grips with the PS3 controller (presumably your parents and or girlfriend). However, as a lot of other people have said, it is ...  Read the complete review

I had used my Playstation 3 as a Blu-ray for 2 years before I finally decided to purchase one earlier this year and only then because I bought PlayTV. It is a standard remote control - play button, pause, fast forward etc but it uses blue tooth technology so you don't need to point it directly at a light sensor to use it. Unlike with the sixaxis controller which connects to the PS3 via a USB lead and is ready to use straight away, the remote control has to be sync'ed up to the system which can be slightly time consuming. Another advantage with using the sixaxis is that you can charge it when connected to the USB lead - the remote control uses ...  Read the complete review

I have had my Playstation 3 since December when I bought it on sale from Woolworths. I do use it's Blu Ray function & it is my only & main Blu Ray player. With this in mind, I decided that I should use my first DooYoo miles to buy this remote. It is a sturdy item that fees quite solid although even with the batteries in the item is suprsingly light. All the standard PS3 buttons are there like start, select, X, 0, plus the standard DVD controls like Play & Forward. It is very easy to connect. I thought it wasn't working at first, so I reached for the instructions. Yes ladies, I know. Why didn't you do that first? Because I'm male & ...  Read the complete review

Let me just preface this review by telling you that I bought this item as part of a movie bundle. It contained a blu-ray, HDMI cable and the remote itself. It was a great bargain and cost me about the same as the individual price for the remote itself. As such it was a great bargain for me but I can't say if I'd find it as good value if I'd just bought the remote. This remote is a bluetooth device that functions as a basic Playstation 3 controller. It is designed to allow the owner to browse, scan and interact with blu-ray disks in an easier fashion than the PS3's joypad style controller. This is pretty useful as the buttons on the Dual Shock 3 or Sixaxis ...  Read the complete review
