Why aren't ALL remotes like Playstation PS3 ?


Just purchased a Sony Playstation as a birthday gift. Wow, the remote is BLUETOOTH, meaning you can actually put the main unit behind wooden doors, or in a closet, or in a different room, and you can still operate it at a distance.

When I think of the high-ticket cd and DVD players that use a ''sophisticated'' and expensive remote that you still have to point and shoot withing a few degrees...

That Playstation by the way is pretty impressive. Blu-Ray with a BEAUTIFULL picture, DVD, CD, Web connectivity, and of course gaming, even for old audiophiles to try!

Now if only those solid-billet remotes could work the same as the cheezy playstation, that would be something.

Chadnliz your comment ''...a PS3, its a toy'' Sorry, but you sound like a typical old-school audiosnob.

About the PS3, they also used to say that about the ipod also until Wadia thought otherwise. Now, maybe you think the ipod is also a toy?

The PS3 sure doesn't sound like a toy to me. Used with a Cambridge Audio DacMagic its actually pretty good on the cd audio side of things.

The fact that its a great Blu-ray player (one of the best), photo viewer, internet browser,250GB capacity, and what else, is icing on the cake.

So you don't get bragging rights because it lacks a metal casing with a 1/2 inch-thick faceplate...and lacks an obscenely expensive price tag. Who cares?

For once, we are really paying for the candy, not the wrapper.

Anyone else agree with me ?
