PS3 Fanboy

The lack of a power button? :D
What use is it then, you still need the controller to turn it on. :/

Eww... No. I'll stick with Sony's more expensive, but more elegant solution thanks.

Well, I don't get those 3rd party accessories. They are usually not too far off the price of a original accessory, but look, feel and play different.

I must agree though that I am missing a IR port on my PS3 which I can use with my universal remote. I could use the old IR adapter for the PS2 from Sony with one of the PS2 controller adapters, but this looks just terrible.

Yea, I know the additional IR adapter would have add another dollar to the already high production cost of the PS3 ;-(

I'm happy with the SIXAXIS as the remote...it's good enough for me. I'm proud to spend less as little money as possible.

By using my SIXAXIS, I reduce clutter. I save money. And all it takes is a little more work, which is good exercise after all. And I feel proud to spend as little money as possible. And less guilty too.

I think I may get one of these. I already bought the Sony Bluetooth remote but it's another damn remote. If I get this thing then go buy a Logitech Harmony, I can cut my remotes down to one. That's a win.

I have yet to purchase a remote for the PS3. I was planning to get Sony's more expensive, yet elegant remote when I do decide to go out and get one though.

Funny thing is, I bought Sony's remote for the PS2 when it first was available, but hardly used it because I was using a separate stand-alone dvd player whenever I watched any movies. But with the PS3, I have been using it alot more to watch movies then I was with the PS2 (Blu-ray player plays a big part) but I have yet to get a remote for the PS3. Just been using the controller as of now.

I am fine with the Sony one - I just wish some buttons would glow or would light up.

The point is actually the dongle, not the remote itself. Anyone who owns a Universal Remote -- like the Philips Pronto -- can't use it with the PS3 because it's IR based. The Nyko's dongle receives an IR signal, making the Universal remote usable.

On Amazon it's NOT $10.00, but $19.99.

for $10 what do you expect. :/

Correction on my post. On August 19th, it was $9.99, but is no longer that price since it was only good for... August 19th.

Now it's back to its original price of $19.99.

I'll stick with my Controller, I've no need to add to the clutter especially a butt ugly USB attachement.
