- Not bad. ~$10 cheaper than the official remote, but you can use your existing one. Must check .ca for something similar. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 07:45 4
  - The only drawback is that it doesn't support those color-coded buttons, you'd need to call up the PS3 menu for those. -- nm - Ender Mar 13, 07:53 3
    - So you end up still having to use the controller. Hmm. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 07:55 2
      - No, you can call up the PS3 menu with the remote. - Ender Mar 13, 08:01 1
