I bought the thing a while ago purely for watching DVDs but have barely used it. The default game remote isn't very user-friendly for this purpose. I've seen some USB add-on remotes online made specifically for the DVD player. Does anybody have any experience with these that can make a recommendation? I'm not looking for anything fancy, just something as cheap and simple to use as possible that others have had good experience with.
My kids and I have been using the original remote for everything since we got the PS3 from moestavern19-Mart a while back. Too bad they haven't made a BlueTooth/Infrared remote for use with EVERYTHING. I have heard the Harmony can do what you want with a special connection to something else or a converter on the PS3. I am not going to change my remote soon, though. By now, I don't have a problem with it since I am used to it that's what she said.
The Sony-Made PS3 remote is the best responding remote I've ever used. Works great for movies AND Netflix. Around $20. Nothing better, unless you need a universal remote, then you're looking at over $100 for a logitech with adapter.

Well, It's not I/R or a Radio compatible so whatever remote you use will have to either plug in one of your USB slots to send out a wireless signal or you'll need one with bluetooth. I use a Harmony 1100 and I had to buy a logitech adapter for the PS3 in order to set it up with my preset home theater settings.
That's one of the few that I saw when I went online the other day. How long have you had it? Any issues? I know it's not a big investment, I just figured I'd quickly see if I could get some input from you guys.
Nothing fancy. Cheap is what I want. Is this the one you're referring to? http://www.target.com/PlayStation-3...O/ref=sc_pd_gwvub_1_title/176-8484781-8090403
Had it a couple months....no problems with it.... like I said its pretty basic....but thats all I needed.....it gets the Job done
Thanks. I think I'll get one of those two. Waiting to hear RoxSquad's response to my last question but I'm leaning towards the Sony since it's only a few bucks more.
I used to have that one to.....lost it during a move I guess....and its awesome....better than the other i posted..... I miss that remote.....but im good with my lil cheapy.
I was undecided between the one for $15 vs $25 but just called my local Target and they've never even carried the $15 one. They have the Sony in stock so Sony it is. Thanks for the advice.
