Customer Reviews

Very cool remote
Just thought I would post a quick review for this remote. Although I knew that this remote was blue-ray technology I didn't think about it due to years of normal remotes, but this remote is cool because you don't have to point it at your system. Yes I know that is a DUH comment for plenty of people, but I think for the person who doesn't know much about how technology works that it is a pretty cool thing to know. It is bigger than the old ps2 remote, I wish it was a lot smaller. However I imagine this does a lot more. I don't use this remote for anything other than watching movies on my system but it's great for that. Responds well, looks nice, had no problems setting it up with my system. A good buy, I will however mention look for it online because I found mine much cheaper than in stores.

Only real choice
Since the PS3 doesn't have an IR port, a Bluetooth remote is the only option. Now I think that using Bluetooth for a remote is a great idea, but that means I can't use my great universal remote until Logitech develops a remote with Bluetooth. The remote itself works great and has all the functions you would need. It's true there is no one button for power off, so that is kind of a pain. However any button you press will turn your PS3 on. This can be annoying sometimes since it's Bluetooth and so doesn't need to be pointed at the PS3 or even have line-of-sight. It can be under a cushion when you sit down and all of a sudden you PS3 is whirring up. I guess in this sense it's good there is no one touch power off. Turning the PS3 off is a 3 button affair. Press and hold the PS button for about two seconds. Now press the OK button twice about a second apart from each other. You will see the hard drive light start to blink for a few seconds and your PS3 will turn off.

As it stands this is your only real choice for full functionality and thankfully it is not a bad one. It feels sturdy and does what needs to be done. If like me, you use your PS3 primarily for watching Blu-Ray movies then this is a must have.

Great
Comes in handy when needed, doesn't waste controls battery life when watching movies or just browsing the menus or the playstation store. The remote is very light and user friendly with a nice battery life.
