    The playstation remote works great and is a nice addition to the ps5 accessories. This remote is perfect for an HD TV that doesn't have smart capabilities and you want to use the PS5 as the entertainment center.

    PS5 Media Remote (Real Review)

    Can turn on your television (Sony X900H) as well as your PS5 on at the same time. It also works with the DualSense remote in the sense of turning on your TV & PS5 at the same time. Remote moves the UI (now known as PS5 UX). Quick access to apps like disney + , Netflix etc. Don't really need this if you have a smart TV.

    Ayo, I never knew this existed, but holy cow. THIS REMOTE, is definitely one for the record books. I love everything about it besides the build quality feels like the controller with no weight.

    This remote works much better with the PS5 than using the PS4 DVD remote. However, the PS5 remote has a microphone on it, but I didn't learn till I got home that it isn't enabled yet by Sony. Was very disappointed I cant search by voice with it like I can with the PS5 gamepad remote. Overall it gets the job done for what it is designed for.

    I'm still waiting to find out where this accessory will fit into my current setup. All of the apps that are available via hot button for the PS5 is available as well on my TV. Perhaps the successor would be a better accessory for PlayStation 5 disc version. I have the digital and have decided that I won't be doing much video streaming to the unit at this point in time.

    2 weeks review- i got it on sale Blk Fri. Honestly i think its human error that makes complications or when the PS5 freezes the remote doesn’t work when the PS5 isn’t functioning correctly. The most difficulties ive had with the remote is getting the TV or the PS to respond.

    Skip it, use your controller instead

    Fairly useless, honestly. Your PS5 controller is more useful for most things. This remote is not designed well for disc video playback. It’s more optimized for apps like Netflix. Unless you’re using your PS5 nearly exclusively as a streaming device, you can skip buying this.

    Love the remote. Hated that I purchased as a Xmas gift in 12/10/20 and just received it on 1/20/21! I ended up giving this one away since I purchased one from a different retailer that shipped before Xmas! Had I known it was pretty much a preorder I would have never purchased a time sensitive item from BB.
