    Picked this up a few days ago at the store. Controller so far is great. Nice to switch between controller and remote. Really enjoy the four dedicated buttons it has for Netflix, Spotify, Youtube and Disney +. Immediately jumps to the app as soon as you click it. Also like how you can hook it up to your tv to be able to control the tv power, volume and mute button. Would definitely recommend.

    Great remote for playing dvd's. Did'nt give it 5 stars because it won't eject. All in all a good remote.

    must-have PS5 accessory

    This is a must-have accessory for the PS5. This seamlessly controls my TV and PS5 perfectly without having to fumble with multiple remotes. Only complaint is that you can't rebind some of the labeled buttons for streaming services that I don't subscribe to. Honestly though, it's amazing and I can't believe I waited 6+ months to buy it!

    Useful addition to your system for media users

    I picked this up on a whim as I generally don't like using the standard console remotes for media viewing. This thing ended up being a bit cooler than expected, and by turning on the console with the PS button on this remote, it will take you to the media screen by default. It also interfaces with smart TVs so you can use volume controls without your TV's default remote. Nothing truly essential, but nice to have. I would recommended it for anyone who's using a PS5 as the primary device for streaming services, things like YouTube or Twitch, and anyone who's using it as a DVD/Blu-Ray/UHD player. My only complaint would be that it takes 2 AA batteries, which are not included, instead of charging via USB-C like the standard PS5 remote does.

    I don’t use it at all. Could see this being useful if your PS5 were your only means of streaming/watching tv. I should’ve known that wasn’t me. It is nice and easy to use/setup, but I haven’t touched it since doing that. Still will give it 5 stars because it would be very useful and a good product, for people who would use it

    Must have if you use your PS5 as a Smart TV/Media Center. Great quick select buttons with Netflix and Spotify for example. So much easier to use than a controller for watching shows. The battery cover could have been designed better though. It's a tad difficult to put back on.

    A great media remote to have when watching..... media. A controller can easily be used. But being able to link it to your tv is a big plus so you can play/pause as well as turn off the volume or turn on/off the tv straight from the remote. The only complaint I have is that they’re isn’t no next chapter button. Only to fast forward. So if you’re watching a movie and want to skip a whole skin. You’ll have to fast forward. Or pick it from main menu.

    It’s a great way to maneuver through the Home Screen! You can change the volume of the TV from the remote so if you have 2 like myself, this isn’t a bad feature! I love how you can turn on the PS5 from the home button on the remote and if you’re in the mood for Netflix or YouTube, you can access it from the remote without having to do it yourself! Overall great item!

    I regularly use my game consoles to watch DVDs and various streaming services. The Disney+, Netflix, Spotify and YouTube buttons make for an incredibly quick and streamlined experience. I do wish Sony would have included an extra button or two that could be used to launch a custom app of your choosing (Hulu or the DVD/Blu-Ray player, for example), but that's more of a nitpick.

    PS5 Media Remote Review

    Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Remote is convenient when watching movies if you have disc version of PS5 and nice they added media buttons especially Disney + but just don't know how much will use when not watching a movie since most media is through tv apps and of course you could always just use the controller. Also it's nice is smaller than PS4 media remote and more stylish but I kind of liked that one better if they could have made smaller and added these new features.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
