We all know that the PlayStation 3's Blu-ray support is top-notch, but utilizing its features can often times be difficult. Accessing functions during a movie via the SIXAXIS can be challenging, especially when your dog knocks the controller off the table and hits a menu feature that you didn't know existed (doesn't that happen to everyone?)

Well fear no more, Messiah Entertainment is here to introduce the Darklite DVD remote. Yes it says DVD, but Messiah assures everyone that it is Blu-ray compatible. Here's the lowdown:

Pros:
~Stylish remote and conversation peice
~Slide-back face plate to cover and uncover buttons
~Rechargeable ion-lithium battery
~Backlit buttons
~Recharable station attached to reciever
~Price

Cons:
~Must plug receiver into USB port and have direct shot to operate remote.

All in all a solid peripheral for the PlayStation 3 especially at the $30.00 price point. If you are looking to "trick-out" your PS3 or other innovative products check Messiah Entertainment out, but as of now, the remote is the highlight in our minds.

Keep a watch on PSU for more stylish peripherals for the PS3.

    Looks Sexy.  Im not really greedy, but I think I can save myself $30 and just use the SIXAXIS.  Is it really that annoying to people??

    *Edit* Please leave Max, you are going around spitting out false BS information.  You obviously dont know a thing about software or hardware design for that matter.

    @ Max

    DVD doesnt allow for better games, it is just a way of storing them.  The DVD itself has no part in how a games looks or plays.  The only thing the DVD does for the 360 is limit games like Gears to 3 levels instead of 15 and 16 level games.

    It's obvious that max41592 is some XBOX360 troll hanging around in PS-Forums to annoy people - doesn't he have a Life or at least a job or somethin???

    Back to topic - the remote look very stylish and the price tag is ok, but a receiver unit for connection seems a bit oldfashioned, why can't the remote simply work along with the PS3 without having this receiver thing?

    Hey flametard, yeah you, Max. If there are so many games then maybe you should get off these forums and go play something. Oh yeah, cause you probably overplayed the 3 good titles the 360 has and are bored out of your skull.

    max wat you are doing is basicly insulting a product that we on this fsite have gone out and bought and enjoy very much, this is not very well received and is called TROLLING. do we go into your sites about the 360 and insult all of its shortcomings, no, so would you stop insulting the ps3 on a forum site designed for the ps3. If you dont like it that is your problem not ours.

    What's the point of even having the freaking Bluetooth on the PS3 if nobody is going to use it? So lame....

    how much are you getting paid?

    In my opinion it indeed looks very cool, and I would probably buy it if I didn't have the official remote already. It should really use bluetooth though, as the PS3 has excellent support for it.

    I hope that an admin bans max41592 soon, Max you're not pleasing anyone here.

    wow, that looks sexy.. :)

    @MAX

    Xbox360 has an established core of games because it released earlier than the PS3 and Wii.. of course it has better games at the moment.
