User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great Remote
Would be nice if it worked with other systems. But is a great DVD Remote

4 Stars Great product, don’t let incorrect information in other reviews influence decision
I saw many reviews claiming the remote does not have a on/off button - this is incorrect. The PS3 button at the center of the remote performs this function - just press and the menu to switch off the PS3 comes up.

Also noticed some other reviews mention is that you have to navigate many menus to switch off the PS3 - well there is only 1 menu to navigate, and it is very simple to do, even in the dark. You can feel for the PS3 button on the remote to bring up the menu, without needing to look at it, the menu comes up, then just click on “Turn off system” - very easy.

Setup/sync with the PS3 is very simple - in fact, it was so simple that I cannot even remember how I did it. I think it’s just going to the Settings menu and clicking on “Add Bluetooth Remote” or something of the sort. Whatever it is, the 2 or 3 steps necessary are detailed in the remote packaging, and takes less than 1 minute to do. Couldn’t ask for a simpler design.

All other functions on the remote are covered - no problems with any. Remote works very well, and I personally consider it a must-have for anyone who plans to use the blu-ray player a lot on the system, as I do.

What is correct in the reviews is that the only connectivity option is bluetooth. The bluetooth is great for use with the PS3, better than any other option in my opinion (IR, radio, cord) - but no IR to facilitate connecting up to a universal remote.

Physical design is good - long and slender, easy to hold and find, buttons well sized and nice solid feel to the build.

Also saw someone mention the remote eats batteries. Well I’ve only had mine for about 2-1/2 months thus far, but haven’t had any problems with batteries yet.

4 stars, 1 star lost mainly for lack of options to incorporate into a universal remote.

5 Stars .PS3 remote
I love this remote. It works well and you can use it without pointing it straight at the system

5 Stars remote rocks
This is a must if you have a playstation3 and want to play movies. I would recommend it to everyone.

You can not beat Amazon’s service, prices, and delivery.

5 Stars Point it anywhere.
The fact that this remote is bluetooth has be its best feature. No need to point it at the PS3. If you are going to be using your PS3 as a Blu-Ray player it is the only way to go. Using a controller or buying one of the other remotes that uses infrared is just a waste. This controller has everything you need to control your movie. My only complaint would be that it is all black. This makes it hard to find the buttons in the dark. But I have the same problem with some of my other remotes that have colored buttons.

For those complaining about not having a power button. You DO have a power button. It works the same as a controller. Its called PS Button, Enter(X), Enter(X). You should be used to it from using your controllers to turn of the PS3.
