Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - great... some problems to connect initially but resolved!
The remote control is great and very useful.

But the instructions on the manual how to pair with PS3 did't work.
The solution was:

[...]





Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - generally works well
It was a little hard to set up, but once it was set up, it has been working great and is much better than using the controller as the remote!



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Very Poor Button Layout-PS3 Remote
The button placement on this remote is very poor: Normal remotes place the PLAY button BETWEEN the STOP and PAUSE buttons.

Not Sony.

The PS3 remote stacks all three buttons vertically, with the PLAY at the top, STOP in the middle, and PAUSE at the bottom.

All three buttons are shaped the same, and there is no way to distinguish between them.

The remote is not back-lit.

The lack of back-lighting, tactile feel, and poor button layout means that the STOP button is easily pressed when you really wanted PLAY--so you get to wait another 5 minutes while the movie (re)loads, and watch all the "commercials" AGAIN.

Very, Very, Frustrating.

There is no POWER button. Instead, you must press the Playstation button, then cycle through various PS3 menus and find/select "turn PS3 off".

The PS3 remote epitomizes why Sony continues to lose market share: poorly designed products at elevated prices.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A must have for any movie watcher.
Have a PS3? Watch Movies? Then you need this.

One of my most-used accessories since the PS3 launch has been this remote control. As a big movie watcher, this is an absolute necessity.

The layout is very nice, easy to use and feels very solid. If you've ever used the PS2 remote control, this is a big improvement.

Every button you'd need is available via the remote, and none of them feel awkwardly placed like the previous remote control. In addition to the standard controls you'd expect, the remote includes blu-ray specific buttons (Red/Green/Blue/Yellow), an Eject button and a PS button (which, if held, allows you to turn the PS3 off).

One of the big benefits with this remote is the bluetooth support - unlike other appliances which require a direct line of sight between the remote and the system, this control allows you to be in another room and still have full control over the PS3. Sounds useless, but it actually comes in handy if you have anything blocking your PS3's line of sight (or if you want to turn on/off the PS3 from another room).

The remote control has a very nice feel to it, and makes for a much more enjoyable movie-watching experience.

You'll probably find, like myself, that you use this PS3 remote for general navigation for the PSN Store, XMB and even web-browsing. For such a low-price, you just can't go wrong with it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - BD Remote
This is a great accessory for your ps3. Don't buy the third party remotes...this works great without additional connectors. Just point, program, and enjoy.

Tag Heuer Formula One Mens Watch CAC1111.BA0850. Gents Formula One Chronograph Stainless Steel Bracelet with Stainless Steel Case, White Dial with Black Submarkers, Quartz Movement. Black dial, Unidirectional rotating black titanium-carbide coated bezel,

Amazon.com Product Description:
The ultimate high-end sport watch, this Formula One chronograph from TAG Heuer is designed to work as hard as you play. It features a white dial with three subdials measuring elapsed and total time, split-seconds, and close consecutive times. It has Arabic numerals at the 3, 9, and 12 positions with bar markers elsewhere. Hands and hour markers are treated with SuperLuminova C3 GLS, a special luminescent material, making this watch easy to read, even in the dark. Surrounding the dial is a unidirectional rotating titanium-carbide coated bezel allows safe timing of dives and other limited events. The bezel's unique oversized flutes make it easy to grip and turn. This watch presents on a stainless steel band that fastens with a double safety clasp. A built-in extension system allows for length adjustment so that the watch can be worn over a diving suit. Other notable features include Swiss quartz movement, a highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and a screw-in crown with a double seal and PVD titanium treatment. Water resistant to 200 meters, this watch is suitable for diving. Bold styling, and the distinctive TAG Heuer Formula One logo give this watch impressive good looks to match its superior performance.

About TAG Heuer
TAG Heuer traces its roots to the small Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, a watchmaker named Edouard Heuer opened his first shop. His vision was to create remarkable timepieces that pushed the envelope of innovation and precision. The company's reputation grew and Heuer's first patent for a chronograph mechanism in 1882 was followed by a long list of achievements: the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second, the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars, the first miniature electronic timekeeping device accurate to 1/1000th of a second, and the first automatic movement with a microrotor, to name just a few. Over the years, Heuer's reputation for gold-standard precision earned the company the privilege of providing official timing services for a number of world-class competitive sporting events, including the Olympic Games, the FIS Ski World Cup, and the FIA Formula 1 World Championships. To this day, TAG Heuer maintains a close association with the world of competitive sports and enjoys a devoted following among sports celebrities and enthusiasts. In 1985, Heuer joined the TAG (Techniques D'Avant-Garde) group, and the TAG Heuer name and logo were created. Now one of the most recognized and sought-after watch brands in the world, TAG Heuer continues its reputation of innovative design and technological excellence, creating prestigious timepieces that are always at the cutting edge of precision, reliability and style.
