I approve this remote control
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2008
Verified Purchase

I did not think I needed yet another remote control because I thought the six-axis had everything it needed for movie playing on the PS3 and, yet, I bought one. There were 2 initial reasons:

- my wife was missing a 'magic wand' shaped remote for playing movies
- Amazon had it at a great price in one of them lightning deals

I ended up using it myself and, in fact, using it for more than just movie playing - see below.

But, let's do a quick inventory of features:

= It's blue-tooth enabled and, therefore, it's not taking any ports on your PS3. This is probably important for anyone who has a "2-USB ports console".
= It's wand-shaped, allowing the non-gamers to control their movie-watching activities while holding a familiar-shaped device in their hand.
= It maps ALL the six-axis buttons and performs everything a six-axis would do, except for the joystick features of R3 and L3 (but you do have the push-down or 'click' abilities for them).
= 2 AA battery powered (still with the original Sony batteries after 4 months of use)
= Includes additional buttons that the movie-only users would expect on a remote such as:
+ a number pad
+ eject
+ red, green, blue, yellow buttons
+ play, stop, pause
+ slow(step), scan(left/right), prev/next
+ display, top menu, pop up menu, return
+ subtitles, angle, audio

What is interesting about this remote is that you can use it for much more than movie-playing. Given that it has all the six-axis buttons, guess what? You can use it, and I do use it to:

- surf the web
- play music
- shop at the PSN store
- play certain games such as Sudoku
- turn the PS3 on/off when your six-axis controllers are in the charger and I am playing GT5 that is using a racing wheel

And, yes, you CAN turn the PS3 on and off with this remote. Turning it on is easy - you simply press the PlayStation button and the PS3 turns itself on. To turn it off, you either go as far to the left on the X-bar and all the way up and press Enter (the turn-off PlayStation icon will be highlighted) or you simply hold the PlayStation button pressed for a few seconds and then select 'yes' and press the X button a couple of times.

Overall: I am happy with this peripheral. Yes, it's one more remote control but it's a pretty good one, for the reasons I stated above.

Notes - Aug 29, 2009, after 16 months of use

I find that I'm using the remote more and more, not only for playing movies but for navigating the XMB and at the PSN Store, also when playing music or slideshows. Due to its very convenient arrows wheel with an 'enter' button in the middle, navigating the PS3 and doing just about anything other than playing games is a lot easier than using the PS3 game controller. Unlike the controller which normally requires two hands to hold, this is basically a one-hand operation where you hold the remote in one hand and operate the wheel with your thumb. And because it's Bluetooth, not IR (Infrared), you don't even need to point it at the PS3.

And, one word on battery life. After about 15-16 months of operation, this is probably the third set of batteries so I'd estimate battery life to be about 4-6 months. Not too bad.

A must have but with a few flaws...
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2009
Verified Purchase
The main reason I use the PS3 is to watch downloaded movies and TV shows and blurays (gaming comes second)... if your like me then you must get this remote. If you only use PS3 to play games... you don't really need this remote than. Here is a quick pro/con list followed by more of my review:

Pro: Great size, shape and finish.
Easy to connect to PS3 (read instructions)
Fully connect to ps3 without added devices at a cheap price
Ideal for the movie watcher

Cons: No dedicated power button
Battery life is relatively short
Not internet user friendly (no joystick to move arrow)
Could use a extra button to change screen mode

This is my second remote I've bought, one for me and one for a friend... it's a must have if you use the ps3 to play movies that were downloaded or blurays. Eliminates the need to turn on and off the remote controller (to save battery, I know an update has auto turn off to helped this problem) everytime you want to pause skip ahead or what not. It's not the best to search through the internet on the ps3 or to opperate zooming in on pictures... simpley because it doesn't have a joystick to move freely.

Major Flaw though!!! If you're like me and have the ps3 in your room and like to leave remotes on your bed in the middle of the night you maybe woken up by the sound of the PS3 turning on. This is because there is no dedicated power button. Instead any button if pushed will turn on the system. I have memerized how to turn the system off without turning on the tv which you learn pretty fast to help fix this problem.

I've seen people complain about no backlighting on the remote and small lables... this really doesn't matter. I found that the layout was pretty easy to learn and the labling was just fine. In fact, a lot of the buttons perform the same opperation... like enter, X, and play button all do the same thing. I also saw someone say there is no button to turn it off... just hold down the ps button like you do with the game controller.

Added bonus is that you can use it as an extra controller in games (labled the 7th controller), however there is no joystick to move so don't expect too much use.

One button that could of been added that is not there... is one to switch viewing modes for movie play back. To switch from full screen, zoom, and normal (ect.), the way to do this is to hit triangle move to the left a couple of icons and hit the tv screen icon. So a single button would have been a nice option.

I did find the batteries ran out faster then I expected (a lot faster than normal remotes) but at least you can check batter life by simply pressing the ps button once. It's always connected to the PS3 via bluetooth so what do you expect. I think my batteries last 2-3 months with daily use... maybe nickle-cadium (sp?) batteries will last longer, I just use what is in the closet.

I gave this a 5 star rating... because how much easier it has made my life despite its short comings.

On a side note, do you ever find it funny they put an eject button on remotes... you still have to get up and remove / insert a disk anyways. Oh well.

Love this Much-Needed PS3 Remote
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2017

I have been needing a controller like this forever. We use the PS3 that is attached to the TV for my pre-k girls in the master suite to stream Netflix and Amazon video and play Blueray movies for the kids. I HATED using the PS3 controller. If the girls touched the controller at all the movie would pause or fast forward or do something I didn't understand. Even getting wrapped up in one of their blankets would cause the controller to make the movie fo berserk. I hated it. Then we got a remote like this for our PS4 and I realized I couldn't live without them and that I absolutely had to get one for the girl's PS3. This remote was easy to set up, easy to use, has lots of functions, and makes watching streaming media and Blueray on the PS3 SO much easier. No more remote mishaps that throw the girls into a tizzy when they accidentally hit it durning their favorite part of Disney's Frozen or the Trolls movie. No more searching desperately for the controller while it's tangled in the blankets and causing all sorts of havoc. It works perfectly so far and has made life much easier when it comes to the girl's entertainment time. Can't comment on durability as I haven't had it that long but if I run into issues I'll definitely update my review.

I bought this while it was on special. It has worked great for the 7 years through heavy usage. I've used it primarily to control the ps3 while watching movies, videos, browsing pictures and selecting games. I even used it as a controller for some of the more simple multiplayer games when we didn't have enough controllers and it worked really well even then as it has all the necessary buttons aside from the d-pad.

I'm really sad that they didn't make it compatible with the ps4. It's just a way for them to make more money off of consumers who want a remote.

Good product.
