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.

After reading the instructions carefully, I figured out how to connect this remote to "see" my PS3. It really should work right out of the box but no real biggie. One big complaint, no power button! The PS3 is a heat box and it's loud, so having to walk over and turn it off whenever I'm done is a real pain.
remote rocks October 25, 2008
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.
Great product, don't let incorrect information in other reviews influence decision October 24, 2008

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.
Great Remote October 20, 2008
