"Total Control! "
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I am happy as with this PS3 Blu-Ray Media Remote. I would not get any other cheap knock-off version. This remote has all the functions you would expect form a Blu-Ray remote as well allowing you to have total control over your PS3 menus (Photos, Music, Videos). And the fact that it's Bluetooth means you don't have to be pointing it at the PS3. One of my best buys for the PS3.

"Flawless"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This remote is fantastic. It pairs easily, and allows you so seemlessly control you movies/videos.

Perfect if you use your using your ps3 as a blu-ray player, or media center.

No more accidental bumps of the controller causing your ps3 to skip scenes. Quick and easy fast-forwarding/re­winding.

The ps3 also integrates this into itself, and displays onscreen battery status etc.

The fact thats its bluetooth means that you don't have to point it directly at your ps3 – no more struggling to point your remote in the sweetspot each time. Im ordering this one for my flatmate (they gave me one of these for my bday) – a definete must if you watch any type of video on your ps3.

I have had mine 2 months, and the batteries are not even 1/3rd empty!!

"Great remote, only one flaw."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Brilliant remote for the PS3 – a far better alternative than the ps3 controller for watching DVD's and BRD's. Battery life is brilliant, i've had a couple of months out of one set of alkaline batteries.

The only flaw to this design is the battery cover is VERY easy to knock off. This has happened on both remotes I have had, both different revisions as well.

As long as you are careful with the back, then it is the best remote out there for the PS3

"If you watch blu-ray, buy it..."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

After a few weeks of using the PS3 controller to watch/control my blu-rays, buying this has been a relief. Set-up is pretty much idiot-proof, and it makes watching blu-ray far more intuitive – I don't have to remember which thumb-stick or button does what…buy one.

"Wow! What a price!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is just what I was looking for, at a price a fraction of other sellers. It has helped my elderly father immensely

"So Good I bought one for me and one for a gift!!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A must have for all PS3 owners who use their PS3 as a media centre. Navigate and easily control media play, media apps (TVNZ on demand/Netflix). I found mine so handy that I bought another for a gift!

"Handy to have"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Great device to have when playing dvds on the ps3 – simple to use

"Nana proof"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Well built and makes the non nerds in the house's ability to bluRay a lot less support intensive.

"Great PS3 Remote!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

So much better than using the PS3 controller for DVD/Blu-Rays. Even comes with batteries! :-)

"Excellent if you use your PS3 to watch movies"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This remote was, in the end, a great purchase. We use our PS3 for watching movies and TV recordings from a PVR so being able to quickly turn it on and get into the movie is a bonus. Easy to pair up and better for movies than the controller.

"A must buy if you use your PS3 as a Blue Ray Player"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Much easier to use than a gaming controller – no more accidental scene skipping from knocking one of the L or R buttons.

"Way better than expected"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The Item was supposed to be used, hence the great price.. Unfortunately it was brand new.. Still in unopened packaging!! Cant get any better than that........

"Great!"

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Way better than using a controller to control Blu-rays/DVDs. I can't find one thing I don't like about it

"Easy to use"

I found it was easy to use

"Bluetooth, The Future of Remotes"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

No Need to point and aim ever again! Since this remote is synced via blue tooth to you Playstation 3 Console you do not need to aim it at the console for it to work. But the key reason to own this add on is so that you no longer drain your wireless controllers of there battery life! No need to turn them off and on again every time you want to pause. 4 out of 5, only because the price should be closer to $40

"Great Remote and worked straight away"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Service was great from Mightyape and the remote got to me in the morning of the 2nd day from the courier.

Works great and was easy to set up and use on the PS3 and better than alot of the other PS3 remotes out there, as it talks bluetooth and not wireless.
