Without a doubt, for many people around the world, the PS3 occupies a very important position at the core of their home entertainment systems, given the fact that, after all, the console from Sony doubles as a full-fledged Blu-ray player, that can now be controlled from a distance with the help of the snakebyte Premium Bluetooth Remote from Sunflex.

According to Sunflex, what really makes this solution so interesting is the fact that it uses both Bluetooth and standard Infrared wireless technologies, which means that it's capable of controlling not only the PS3 gaming console from Sony, but also up to 5 other A/V devices simultaneously (this is also the reason why the snakebyte packs an IR learning circuit that can retain specific profiles for certain of the user's home entertainment system components).

The snakebyte comes equipped with a backlit LC display and buttons with motion sensor activation that not only provides info on the commands being accessed at any given moment, but also indicates the time and the room temperature.

Moreover, its built-in Li-ion battery that can be charged viat the USB port, that can also come in handy for upgrading the remote's firmware.

"The snakebyte brand epitomizes innovative and high quality products for demanding gamers," said Howard Borenstein, President of Sunflex USA.

"We're in the process of expanding our portfolio of Premium PS3 products and we're proud to offer a definitive single remote control solution for PS3 users which will live up to the highest standards," Mr. Borenstein added.

According to Sunflex, their snakebyte Premium Bluetooth Remote will arrive on the shelves for around $49.99 at some point in April 2011, which means that you won't have to wait that long before you get to enjoy the enhanced level of control provided by this very interesting PS3 accessory.
