The Sony remote is a must have item if you plan to watch DVDs in the Blu Ray format...easy to install and easy to operate for your movie watching pleasure.

This remote control makes playing DVD movies on the PS3 a breeze. Couldn't live without it!
 Poor/Simple Design, Cluttered, but Works May 6, 2007

I was a little miffed I even needed to get this because I already had a universal remote (Harmony).
This remote works as advertised but the layout is less than stellar and they tried to map every single PS3 control button to the remote, so it's laden with buttons.
Also, you have to treat the remote just like one of the controllers and use the PS button to turn it on/off. Honestly, I think this is just an elongated PS3 controller.
The other issue is that when you haven't used the remote for a bit and it goes to sleep, and then you issue a button press like Pause or Stop, you have to do it twice, because the first time the button press won't do anything except wake the remote up, then the second button press will actually work.
The obnoxious part about the remote is that it has *no* indicators of any kind on it. So you can't tell if it's on, off, asleep, synced or out of batteries. You just use it and if you push a button 3 or more times and it doesn't do anything, it's safe to assume it's dead.
A simple LED on the top would have done the trick, but then they wouldn't be able to keep the $29 margin of profit they make on this piece of hardware.
Overall it's a poor remote, some "throw in" you would expect with a normal TV and overly unacceptable as a remote for a nice TV (not even backlit).
But it's the only way to control movies on the PS3 without using the controller, so if you need it, I guess you are going to buy it.
Spring for It! May 6, 2007

For a couple bucks, this Bluetooth wireless remote is worth every penny.
Essential for PS3 movie watchers! April 17, 2007

Ive had my PS3 for around two weeks now and ive found that ive been using it play lots of movies. Its a top quality player and can play DVD's and Blu Ray movies out of the box. However, the Sixaxis controller is terrible for controlling movies. I found myself accidently pressing buttons (stopping a DVD halfway through arghh!) and wondering which button does what (the start button is the pause button...whats with that?).
So anyway, i bought this remote and im very pleased with it. Its made of very high quality plastic and feels very expensive. Each button has an explanation and you can control the PS3 XMB with it too (ive found that the web browser and PS3 shop is easier to use with this). My favourite feature is the bluetooth connection, i don't have to point it anywhere to use it. The only thing that bugs me about this remote is that it really makes the PS3 complete and should have been included with the PS3. Nevertheless i highly recommend this remote to all.
