Hey guys I was just browsing through The Good Guys website and stumbled across this deal.
$39 gets you a PS3 Blu-ray remote control, The Hangover and The Dark Knight on Blu-ray.
Just checked JB and they have the control on it's own for $24.

I bought this kit for my sister 3 years ago from tgg in perth for $25, was normal shelf price. This is not a deal.
I highly doubt $25 was the normal shelf price 3 years ago. More likely it was in a catalogue special.
This deal has come up a few times at various prices over the past few years at GG and JB.
None of my local stores have ever had stock. In fact, the response when I ask is usually "gee, haven't seen that pack around for ages! "
Given that its $16ea for the BD's at Big W, makes the remote is $7 which is OK, but it is the older remote. The latest one can be had for $20.
Still if all you're doing is playing blu-rays on the PS3 and you don't need to control televisions the old remote is fine.
Spending that much on a controller just for movies when the controller will do just fine… People should hand in the ozbargain accounts!
I hate using the PS3 controller to control blu-rays it's lame. Try quickly using features like skip chapter or fast forward on a PS3 controller.
Have you tried using HDMI-CEC? I just use my tv remote control to control my playstation for watching movies, iview, etc.
i do it a lot, its easy just get familiar with the controller and you can do it without looking, or you can spend $20 to look at the buttons you're pressing…
Good for you. Now PS3 controllers are primarily made for games not movies that's why Sony invented the PS3 BD remote control.
It seems Gen 1 remote.
