Best PS3 remote? - Blu-ray Forum

TheTenth · 02-04-2009, 10:00 PM

I just found this remote :
http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-1-Media-Re.../dp/B001KZH63S ; the 3 in 1 (remote, keyboard + pad)
is it any good? will it work on a European PS3?

Thre's another one :
http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-3-...530735&sr=8-11
but it has some bad reviews

found this one too :

For a PS3 specific remote, I would have to go with:

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-PlayStation-3-Blu-ray-Disc-Remote/dp/B000M17AVO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1233788705&sr= 1-1

Definitely, I would just stick with the original if you want to guarantee it works properly. Plus its not a bad remote.

Best Buy had a deal a few months back: Buy two movies and receive a free PS3 remote. I hope this deal comes back.

I have to back Marine Mike as well. The PS3 official remotes the best. It's got a great range thanks to bluetooth tech.

It's a top notch remote.

Hands down the most reliable remote so far is the original PS3 remote. All the other imitation is price around the original anyways. I just ordered mine and it works great!

Get the original PS3 remote! Best you can get for the PS3 in my opinion!

Walmart had a similar deal, I cant remember which movie came packaged with a free remote. I do remember thinking that it was a good deal.
I am never comfortable buying off/3rd party brand accessories. They often dont work as well as the originals and have a generic feel and make up.

That movie was Hancock.

Also OP, Circuit City has the Blue-Wave (sp?) remote on clearance for probably <$1 right now. Not a bad remote to pair with a universal remote.

Lanfear · 02-05-2009, 07:17 PM

I can confirm it was Hancock. That is how I got mine.

I definitely recommend the Sony one. Works great for me. No problems whatsoever. Definitely good for those people in your life that don't want to use the PS3 controller.

However, 1 thing my friend didn't like about it was the fact that if you press ANY key on the remote, it will turn on your PS3. Just a heads up. Was not a deal breaker for me.

Get the Playstation Brand one, its the best and you can find it for cheap.

Target had it bundled with 3:10 to Yuma for $49.

I have the Nyko and use my Harmony 880 using the PS3.

The main problem I have with it is not being able to turn on the PS3. That being said however... typically to play games I need the controller around or I have to put in a movie anyways... so really not a big deal.

I love the harmony.
