PS3 Sony Blu-ray Disc Remote Control
Review date: 2008-05-13 Rating: 10 out of 10
A Bluetooth remote control for the Sony PS3.
Personally, I don't why there has been criticism of the remote being via Bluetooth and that it has to be paired with the console; the fact it doesn't need to be 'pointed' directly at the console means the PS3 can be hidden away and yet remain operable; plus it takes all of one minute to pair up the remote with the PS3.
The remote itself is well built and has the requisite amount of buttons you'd find on most DVD remote controls, in my opinion it certainly doesn't have too many buttons; it also doubles up as an additional controller should the need arise.
The only negative comment I'd make is that it doesn't have a one touch 'off' button to put the console into standby mode.
Nonetheless, I recommend this as a worthwhile purchase for the PS3 and good value for money.

Does what it's meant to do!

Great - and pretty much essential kit if you use your PS3 for watching lots of DVD/Blu-Ray discs.
I like the solid, tactile feel to it - matches the PS3's quality nicely.
OK, so it hasn't got a light, and it needs pairing with your PS3 - so what? It's less than 20 quid and does exactly what it's supposed to do!
Why Bluetooth???????

Good solid controller has all the buttons you would expect for Blu Ray playback and extras. Couple of things to mention though
1\ Dont expect to just be able to take it out the packet and start using it like every other remote control you have ever used. You have to pair it up with the PS3 via Bluetooth for some bizarre reason. Personally I find this is way over the top for just a remote control and can only be used on 1 PS3 at a time (due to pairing), unlike the remote for the Xbox 360 can be used on as many 360's as you like, without any configuration!!!
2\ Has lots of buttons and the remote does not illuminate in any way so you basically have to have a light on to use the remote...
Might be worth Sony noting the above in the future as these facts do let the controller down. Microsoft win the controller stakes....
Had to give it 2 stars as you dont basically get much option but to buy this remote unless you go the unofficial route and end up with an inferior remote. I do own a PS3 and use this remote however I am not biased towards Sony like it appears most of the current reviewers are.....
worth buying in time for the playtv
Review date: 2008-03-17 Rating: 10 out of 10
i have jus put an order on this item as i plan to purchase the playtv the minute it comes out, actually... make that seconds! the playtv sounds awesome and i don't wanna be fiddling about with the sixaxis controller when i'm watching telly. plus i've ordered it now to prevent having to see 'temporarily out of stock' sign on the product when the playtv is out. i've finally purchase the eye camera from dabs where i found it along with eye of judgment having waited such a long time for this site and others to have it available but to no avail. so i browsed many sites for eye of judgement which includes the free eye camera and i think i can download eyecreate from the online shop for free, not sure yet though. but yea it was the cheapest at dabs and i'm not sure if i am gonna play the eye of judgment game because it's not my type of game but i'm not gonna knock it till i've tried it. the reason why i bought the eye camera was for the call of duty game, which is brilliant no doubt. and the reason why i'm mentioning the eye camera on this blu-ray remote control is to to advise people that the stock of this product may be limited due to the release of playtv. it would most probably be an essential product, not jus flicking through channels or hoppin lol but you may find it good use when watching a blu-ray or normal dvds, maybe when your girlfriend comes around or if you're gay your boyfriend and if you're a girl gamer your boyfriend or your girlfriend, whose to say? lol anyways i think i've just wrote the the fifth testament, so that's enough from me, i'm out. take care...

The blue ray remote is essential if you wish to use the console for anything other than games.
Such as Blue Ray movies, DVD's, CD's and if you use it to stream media form your computer as I do.
It is very well built and the buttons are well laid out.
May not be the most exciting item Sony have made but I highly recommend it.
