Spotlight Customer Reviews

Excellent

Customer Rating:

If you don't like to use the remote to run the DVD player this is the way to go. I hated the used of the controller, to start a movie is no problem but when you wanted to back up or freeze the movie or anything like that I usually ended up starting the whole thing over again. This works much better. It does have to have the USP plugged in just like a wireless mouse on your computer but you can keep that stored away with the remote until you plan to use it.

Overall A

Doesn't work all the time... :(

Customer Rating:

The title says it all ... it's a good remote for the most part. When it works, it's fine. It just does not want to work every time I press a button. Frequently, I am on the main menu and try pushing the up/down/right/left buttons to select an item, and it seems the remote does not want to respond at all. I have to push the button a few times before I get a hit. Also, the range is not very good. I'm having slight trouble from ~12 feet away. And this thing is not even a month old. I'm likely going to replace it with the Sony PS3 remote. Even now, I find myself resorting to the game controller for DVD control...

Universal Remote - CHECK!

Customer Rating:

So the Playstation3 has built-in Bluetooth, which is nice and you can allways get the custom remote - but if you want to use a universal remote that has IR-only, buy this, plug the USB stick into the PS3 and the IR can now work on the universal. I use the Sony RM-AV3000 Universal LEARNING remote, so this was a breeze.

Good controller, mediocre remote

Customer Rating:

Cutting to the chase, the actual remote that comes with the product is pretty poor quality. That's because most people buy this to use the USB controller with a universal remote and plan to toss the actual remote. If you're looking to use a universal remote with your PS3, this is a great option. If you're just looking for a Blu-ray/DVD remote, look elsewhere.

Excellent Remote.

Customer Rating:

I bough this remote so I can then program my universal remote to control movie playback of the Playstation 3. This works because of the USB infra-red receiver that is included. Highly recommended for those universal remote owners (especially Logitech owners) that prefer to control the Playstation 3's movie playback with their remotes.
