 Over-priced Under-featured Badly Designed Rip-off November 15, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Sony hs been making remotes for some time, so you think they'd come up with something servicable. But this is just a bad joke:
1 - the STOP BUTTON is between the PLAY and PAUSE buttons, and all three are the same shape and texture -- meaning you often hit it by mistake. Normaly no problem since most DVD Players have a resume function default. Not the PS3 -- it STOPS. It bails out of DVD mode and drops you into the system menu. Then you have to start up the DVD again, click through the start-up commecials on the Blu-Ray, and then find where you were when you first tried to pause it.
2 - No OFF button, so you have to go through the PS3 shut-down process.
3 - No backlight -- for the price they're asking, this device should have a back light, because...
4 - Text is too small, and buttons are often unclear.
It looks and feels like a remote made by gamers, not by people who actually want to watch a movie. Too bad, because the game controller that comes with the PS3 is a more funtional remote than this -- and far more robust. This feels like cheap plastic -- if Sony made their game controller this way, we'd all have XBoxes by now.
I can only infer that Sony had their trainee designers throw this dog together. And a bunch of sycophantic executives as product testers. It should never have been released.
Considering the price tag -- and the price tag of the PS3 you're buying it for -- this is just another of the many examples of Sony gouging the consumer.
Stick with your game-controller and save youself some money.
Does the job November 11, 2008
I'm not sure why this review form is referring to this as a "game" and asking me how much fun it is, but the remote does what it's supposed to do. It's easier than using the onscreen controls with the regular PlayStation controller, but I wouldn't recommend gaming with it (if it's possible).
Great Remote, but Pause button in Wrong Place! November 10, 2008
This makes the PS3 feel like a high end Blue-Ray player. It is nice that you do not have to aim the remote at the PS3, like for infrared controllers. One thing that dries me crazy is that the Pause and Stop buttons should be swapped. You know how frustrating it is to accidentally hit stop, which boots you completely out of the disk where you need to wade through all the startup stuff again before you can continue watching the movie? ARRRGGGGHHHH!!!

Well worth it. Beats the hell out of using the the game controller. Get this if you watch lots of blu-ray movies on you ps3. No brainer.

This is a steal for the price.The remote has excellent looks ,build quality and fit and finish.It performs flawlessly;and since it uses bluetooth to transmit you don't need "line of sight" to aim it !Highly recommended.
