Video Game Reviews of Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Disc Remote
Customer Review: Playstation Remote for Watching Blue Ray Movies
Summary: 5 Stars
For those of you who have kids that grab the PS3 controller when you want to watch a movie, this is the controller for you. It looks and duplicates a NORMAL remote in every way, so even parents can use it comfortably. Take control of your Blue Ray movies on YOUR PS3. Your kids will be upset, but they're teenagers, it's OK.
Also, the instruction manual that come with it for setting up the Bluetooth function are clear and concise. The Bluetooth is how the remote sees the PS3. The PS3 uses bluetooth, instead of infrared, is why you can't program your other remotes for your PS3.
The faceplate functions are clear and easy to find. I only use the basic ones to watch movies, but they are well layed out and I don't double hit buttons. Overall, everything I expected it to be at an affordable price. As usual, Amazon delivered it pronto.
Customer Review: So far so good
Summary: 4 Stars

Much more convenient compared to using the game controller and has all the keys of standard dvd player remote making it easy for anyone to use.Customer Review: You may have problems getting this remote to initially connect.
Summary: 4 Stars
I have enjoyed having the remote and would buy it again but it was frustrating to get working.
The remote must be initially connected (paired) to the PS3 which should be a very easy process. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Based on my internet research, most people don't have a problem with the initial connection but more than a few do have a difficult time. I tried all the tips on the PS3 websites but none of the advice helped. However, I just kept trying to connect the unit and on about the 15th attempt (it seemed like a lot more) the unit finally connected. Since then it is just the thing to have to watch DVDs and internet TV.
If you buy this remote be prepared to spend some time getting it working and don't give up.
Customer Review: Happy I Bought This
