very useful
This remote is very useful for control of the media functions of the PlayStation 3. I use it every time I watch a DVD, BD, or downloaded movie. It has plenty of buttons, very well organized. It syncs easily to the system, and runs off two AA batteries. I give it 4 starts out of 5 because there's only two minor complaints: the buttons don't light up, and it doesn't charge via usb like the controllers do. As I said, those are minor complaints and they don't bother me too much. Overall, I highly recommend this product to anybody who is using their PS3 as a media player.

Only worthwhile for the L2 and R2 trigger grips.
As this has been said before, I'll keep this short. The armor is pointless, and actually inhibits the use of the start and select buttons. As my controllers are protected by silicone skins, I bought two of these strictly for the L2 and R2 trigger grips. They deliver as advertised. Don't bother here if you can find similar trigger grips elsewhere.
