Customer Rating: Summary: Way better to use with movies than the regular PS3 controller Comment: Without getting into many details, think of this as a regular remote you use to watch movies, all the basic functionalities are there (play, stop, pause, fwd, eject, etc) and plus, you get the colored buttons that so far a few movies have used for extra content or bookmarking.
The remote powers on as the PS3 controller, by clicking on the PS button, you want to turn it off without navigating through the PS3 menus, simply push it for like 3 seconds and you will be asked if you want to turn off the system, click enter and you're done.
I had been using the PS3 control to watch movies and while not a painful process it was sometimes annoying to press triangle to pull the menu and select the option you wanted. This control solves that problem like a charm; also consider it is a Bluetooth remote so it can be used without even pointing to your PS3 or with thing on the way.
Great value for the money, Amazon will sometimes drop the price to $19.99 which makes it a better deal.
Customer Rating: Summary: great remote Comment: this is a great accessories for those PS3 owners who enjoy watching blu ray dvds in addition to the games that they play. the remote has a great layout, with one deception: no power button that said the remote CAN turn on the console by pushing the PS button like you would on regular controller. my only beef is that it connects via bluetooth which means that those people (me included) who use logitech harmony style and other hi-end remote will not be able to program there remote to control the console and will have to use this remote Customer Rating: Summary: just a remote Comment: does what it's supposed to do. Keeps your lazy butt on the couch while your dvd or blu ray discs rip it up on your ps3 Customer Rating: Summary: Hopefully all controllers will be bluetooth soon Comment: My only gripes with the controller is it has no power button(you have to hold the the playstation button in order to shut off the ps3 from a menu) and the stop button is in-between the play and pause buttons which is not intuitive.
This controller being bluetooth you don't need line-of-site to the ps3 for it to receive the signal you can be in the next room and it'll still receive the signal. IR controllers are very archaic in this day and age hopefully this controller is a sign of things to come. Customer Rating: Summary: The only good feature is the Bluetooth Comment: Lets get right to it
Pros
- Bluetooth no need to be pointing
- It's your only first party solution
Cons
- No backlight on the buttons
- Requires 2AA batteries
- No USB
- Not rechargable
- Convoluted button layout
- Giant sized
- Over priced
- No power indicator on the remote
- Non-ergo design
- No extra features
- Small text on the buttons
Basically if you bought this, it's likely because you had no other choice, just like me.
