Fantastic quality and makes life much easier than using the pad.

The reason it gets a 4 is because I personally feel that there are a ton of pointless buttons on it that just clutter it up (why would you use the R1/2/3 or L1/2/3 buttons when you already have buttons for FF/RW and scene skipping for instance?) and the lack of a power button (you can turn the system off as you would with a pad however as the PS button is there, but a simple On/Off button would have been nice).

All in all an excellent control though, just a pity Sony didn't opt to make it more like a media control and less like a rectangular pad...

Why use a controller when you can use this bad boy? Easy to set up.

The PS3 is possibly the best blu ray player....why not own the ideal item to complement it. Easy to set up and so logical to use.
