New PS3 Remote Shown At CES

A lot of people up till now have had to make a hard choice of what remote is right for them, but the new Snakebite remote might just sink its teeth into the market.

I like many people want a good alternative to the Dualshock 3 to play their movies, even more so after the addition of Netflix. Up till now its been a long hard battle with either the solid but not fully functional Sony remote, a 3rd party one, or a high end Harmony remote with a high priced adapter. However Snakebite appears to see the PS3 as a great place to release a higher end experience at a lower end price.

The Snakebyte premium Bluetooth universal remote boasts the power to control the PS3 and five other devices with one handy device. Also unlike several other remotes like the Logitech Harmoney it features both Bluetooth and IR. If you’re wowed then don’t stop yet as there is so much more!

Additional Features

Backlit LCD and “motion sensor activation”In addition to that the LCD displays the rooms temperature and current time.

Learn-able and Adaptable to IR based devices.

Firmware updateable, and finally can be charged via USB.

If you’re interested in it, you can pick it up on the Snakebite site in April 2011 for $49.99. While its twice the current Sony model its more than enough to justify the price.
