About fucking time. How can it have taken them this long ffs.
Yeah I got duped into buying a few of their accessories thinking it was official Sony stuff. I don't like the branding Sony allows them to use because it looks almost legit.
That's why I bought an official Sony controller charging dock on amazon that was imported from Japan instead of the crap at BestBuy that's got attachments you need to clip onto them.
wait, is the adapter USB?
Because there are only 2 ports on PS4.
I need that 3d blu ray support and more format support before I buy this.
Wait, really? Ugh, what the fuck. That's basic.There is no subtitle button. Not impressed.
PS3 media remote has it.
It's been around for a long time. My 2008 Samsung TV supported it.
It was laggy as hell though. Haven't tried it yet with my newer TV.
Is there an official Sony remote? Not terribly interested in a PDP one.
The Sony remote for the PS3 was fanastic, one touch to turn on the console, didn't need to "see" the PS3 because it was Bluetooth, and generally just a nice feeling remote.
I could use my remote since the beginning thanks to HDMI-CEC

Finally and it's not coming out until November basically. That's 2 years. wtf sony?
If this works as I hope, I can finally take the 360 out of the living room.
One-touch of any button to turn on the console just ensured that my cat could do it, so I'd prefer that feature hit the cutting room floor.
Other than that, yeah I agree.
hopefully this means that sony will open things up for other universal remotes...so that they can be used to power on the system. they already half-way there but support is still a bit half-assed on my harmony.
currently can't power on the ps4. and powering down is spotty. instead of just powering down the system it performs a series of commands (i.e. guide, down, down, down, select power off, etc.) lol
Should have been more like this
you're back!
anyway I use the Sony SideView app for my phone for all the different remotes Sony has. Everyone with a Sony TV/Media device should try it out. I wonder if it will be updated in the future to include PS4 capabilities...since you know, bluetooth.
$30 for a remote? Nah, Sony.
Bluetooth® communication with PS4 via included adapter
I didnt see this thread before but I just stumbled upon it on Amazon. Got excited and preordered.
But wait what is this about?
Why does it need an adapter? Is it an adapter on the remote or one you have to plug into the ps4? It should just work through bluetooth, if I have to plug any shit in then I'm out.
im lost, what was the big deal about this remote?
After some digging and looking at products with similar descriptions, this might be a simple IR remote with a bluetooth middleman much like this product:
Connects via Bluetooth: Uses Bluetooth to control your PS4 system.

Optional infrared receiver when placing bluetooth adapter out of sight? It says that thanks to the included bluetooth, all programmable remotes are compatible with PS4. What exactly is this?
