PS3 Blu-ray Remote

Ok, so ever since the Warner announcement I took a step back from HDM and stopped buying altogether. I decided that day, then and there, that I would not buy another disc (Blu-ray or HD DVD) until one of them won.

Well, thats happened (yay!). I am now fully Blu-ray. :yippee:

Anyways onto the topic: Ever since I bought my first Blu-ray a few months ago I have been using the PS3 controller to do all my "remoting" for movies. Now that I am going to be investing more into Blu-ray I'd very much like to nix the controller and go with a standard remote. I was originally planning on buying the Sony Bluetooth one for the PS3 but I have heard nothing good about it on the intertubes, of course I trust you guys more than random review sites.

So ya. . . any suggestions? Should I keep the PS3 controller? The Bluetooth one?

Thanks!

If you have an old ps2 remote control with the controller socket dongle there's a way you can use a usb adapter to use the IR ps2 remote. Google it :what:

I purchased the blu tooth remote with my ps3 and LOVE it, its a quality piece of kit. The only problem (minor) ive found with my remote is that it seems to go through batteries a bit quicker than my other remotes (although it could be that I use it a hell of a lot more than my other remotes)

It's well worth $20 not to fumble around with the Sixaxis.

So the PS3 bluetooth remote is the one to get?

Ok, thanks for the help guys.

I'll agree with the other two people above me. The PS3 Bluetooth Remote works great.

I haven't tried to Bluetoothe remote, but I wanted IR command capablity and the ability to use my universal remote control so I purchased the Nyko Blue Wave remote some months ago and I am happy with that ability. It does require a USB adapter and it can't power on or power off the player, but otherwise does what I want.
