Customer Reviews

Functional, but not phenomenal
Fist of all, I'm a little annoyed that I needed to buy a new remote to have some features unavailable on the Sixaxis. I'm also annoyed that it was incompatible with my current Logitech Harmony 880. But, on the other hand, I didn't want another dongle on the front of my PS3.

I do like the fact I don't have to point it in any particular direction, but still find myself pointing it at the TV. Hard habits are hard to break, I guess. The added functionality of the buttons are handy (e.g the Stop button takes you completely out of the movie and back to the XMB without asking you if you're sure).

My biggest gripe, perhaps I'm spoiled, is that the remote doesn't light up; nor are the buttons shaped much different from the ones next to them. Navigating in the dark is a pain. I don't use the remote enough to fully memorize the precise location of the pop-up menu button, for example. I suppose, in time, this will change as I become more familiar with the device.

very useful
This remote is very useful for control of the media functions of the PlayStation 3. I use it every time I watch a DVD, BD, or downloaded movie. It has plenty of buttons, very well organized. It syncs easily to the system, and runs off two AA batteries. I give it 4 starts out of 5 because there's only two minor complaints: the buttons don't light up, and it doesn't charge via usb like the controllers do. As I said, those are minor complaints and they don't bother me too much. Overall, I highly recommend this product to anybody who is using their PS3 as a media player.

Must have, if you own a PS3
If you're gonna watch movies in your PS3 you have to get the remote. There are other brands but it is worth to spend a couple of bucks more in the Sony.
