Video Game Reviews of Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Disc Remote
Customer Review: Lo que necesitaba
Summary: 4 Stars
Este control remoto es lo que necesitaba para disfrutar las peliculas BD en mi PS3 Slim ya que el dualshock es muy limitado. Lo recomiendo 100%Customer Review: Nice to have... set up painful
Summary: 3 Stars
I like having this remote for watching movies but I had a terrible time setting the remote up. I tried the sony support number but they were no help and tried to say that my remote needed to be sent back to amazon. I eventually got the controller to work by pairing it while the dual shock 3 controller was connected via USB.Customer Review: HATE This Remote
Summary: 1 Stars
Well, if nothing else its reliable. I've had mine for two years with no isssues, and I've changed the batteries maybe once in that time even despite extensive use.
As a remote though, this thing has long been a thorn in my side. The buttons are small and cumbersome, poorly labeled and laid out. Luckily I'm very familiar with the PS3 so its no sweat for me, but for the non-ps3 members of the family its incredibly complex to describe to someone how to use.
There's NO dedicated power button. EVERY button can turn the PS3 on, but none turn it off. I cant tell you how many hundreds of times ive accidentally turned on the PS3 with accidental button presses, many without my knowledge and wasting electricity because I didnt realize the PS3 was accidentally turned on.
This remote is practically useless with the PS3 web browser...theres no analog control to move the pointer around on the screen so you have to use the controller to navigate around web pages.
The remote times out after a few minutes of non-use so if you need to quickly pause or do something with the remote, you have to press the buttons a few times to 'wake' it up to work again.
And because the PS3 only used bluetooth and has no IR sensor, no reasonably priced universal remote will work with this thing. So you either have to buy an expensive multi sensor remote or get an IR to Bluethooth converter.
Hopefully these issues will be addressed by Sony at some point, but for now I hate this remote but Im stuck with it. Its better than using the PS3 controller but not by much.
Customer Review: Too complex and no added value
Summary: 2 Stars
Although I love Sony, the Playstation, and Sony products, I fail to see the value in this device. It seems like a waste of money. Basically, you can perform the same functions with the controller. It is too complex for those people who cannot use the controller. So I do not really get the point of it. Plus, a lot of functions you would like to see it perform are not arranged in a logical fashion. I would skip this and just use the controller. For people who cannot master the use of the controller, this remote is too complex.Customer Review: Junk
Summary: 1 Stars
Stopped working after six months. Thought the batteries had died, so I replaced them. Nope. The effing remote just doesn't work any more. Typical. Everything I've ever had by Sony (cd players, walkmen, etc.) has broken within a year. It's why I won't buy Sony (the PS3 was a gift). Just further reinforces my feelings that Sony = Crap.
