Meh. I have my satellite remote and my controller, can't warrant $20+ just to have the exact same functionality in one device, especially because after a bout of watching something and needing that remote, I'd still pick up the controller right beside me to play a game. Suppose it's good for some that they're finally giving it the functions of nearly every other remote out there (even those that come with devices) after almost six years of production.

Bought my parents a Sony Blu-ray player about a year ago. The controller doesn't have eject/open/close button. Seriously. Who designs a remote control without open/close??? I guess I should be grateful thiers has a power button.

I never actually understood the need for an eject/close button on the remote. You still have to get up to change the discs.

Hit Play, it'll auto close the tray.

^ This! I can't count how many times I go to put my glasses on my nightstand and I hear the *beep* of the PS3 start up.

:/

Someone told me once that theres a right and wrong, and that punishment would come to those
who dare to cross the line.
But it must not be true for jerk-offs like you.
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole.
