+ Much easier to navigate and manage BD watching experience on the PS3 compared to the controller. This alone is worth buying it for. People who regularly use the PS3 controller for BD movie watching- hats off to you.

+ Consistent with the remote to control a movie watching experience mantra. Feels normal.

+ Good battery life.

+ Does not take up bluetooth port on the PS3 (which is premium in the slim models)

+ Pretty reasonable at $20.

+ works in non-line of sight scenarios. We have a little kid who loves fiddling with our electronics. So we keep the Ps3 inside an entertainment center with wooden doors. All IR remotes fail when the door is closed. Not the Ps3 BT based remote. Props to bluetooth more than anything else.

- Occasionally the BT pairing between the Ps3 and the remote fails and need to be re »pair »ed. Hassle but not very painful.

- Some of the keys dont make much sense honestly.

- This is a knock on the ps3-netflix experience more than anything else but controlling the netflix streamed content is not as intuitive as that of a BD disc. Cant blame the remote but maybe Sony/Netflix will think about a new iteration of the remote with hotkeys for the netflix ps3 user?

- bluetooth means not compatible with other devices and cannot function as a universal remote. So one more remote on your desk.

All in all, worth spending $20 especially if you watch a lot of blu ray movies on your Ps3. For $20, you cant go wrong.
