Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Must have, if you own a PS3 Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Works like it should. Comment: This remote works very good and links up with your system as controller port 7. It's definitely not a must have but it is nice to have if you like to watch a lot of movies and videos on your PS3. It would be nice if it had an auxillary IR transmitter so you could use it with your other home electronics but it doesn't. I mainly took a star off because of the stupid thing where some engineer at Sony thought it would be great for any button on the remote to turn on your system, but it isn't great. So if you accidently press any button, your system is going to turn on. I really don't get why they couldn't get the PS button to be the only on switch. As stated in other reviews it would also be nice if it had an off switch. Kind of like a Wiimote or any other remote you have lying around. Customer Rating: Summary: Good remote Comment: The remote is pretty much necessary with a couple flaws. This remote should be included with the PS3 or at the very least an IR port should be on the PS3 to allow using a universal remote. This seems a stupid place to cost cut. I also really hate that there is no power button to turn off the PS3 remote. Yes, you can navigate the menu and shut down, but that is really poor design. On the same line, the PS3 should power down if not used for some time period, but that is more of a PS3 flaw than a flaw of this remote. Otherwise the buttons are small and hard to read, but the remote is still pretty necessary and useful. Customer Rating: Summary: Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Disc Remote Awesome Comment: The Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Disc Remote works like a champ. It was easy to sync up with the playstation and worked great in a minute. Customer Rating: Summary: Useful Comment: If you plan to watch DVDs with your PS3, this remote comes in handy. As others have noted, it does not have a power on/off button and the buttons are difficult to see in low light conditions so I cannot give it 5 stars. However it is much better than using the dualshock controller for viewing DVDs which requires a few steps of button pushing just to pause, rewind or do other functions. It is a useful remote and well worth the $[...]. More Reviews
