It's really a remote in itself.

I picked up the remote mainly for convenience. I hate having to keep my controller(s) running while watching a movie or listening to music, in addition to playing games (my sons drain the controllers fast). To me, the fewer the charges the better. I do have the controller auto-power-off option enabled, but having to power up the controller started to annoy me. I also picked up a 12' USB extension for those times my sons left the controllers dead, but that got old fast. I do also have an infrared usb adapter, but those lack a PS function for obvious reasons. I initially intended to buy one of those external charger deals, but for the price and knowing that it will also require my boys to be diligent about docking the controllers when finished, the PS3 remote was a much simpler solution.
