Yes, $25 -- $40 is a bit of a ridiculous mark-up. What other options do we have though?

Triacc · 2007-01-13, 12:21 PM

Picked one up today at FS Burlington.

for those looking I just bought one today as well at Future Shop Richmond Hill. They had about 7 more left. They are $39.99.

I agree with others sentiments. The controller is beautiful and makes the PS3 feel complete (as a movie player at least).

A (dumb) question about buying the remote at futureshop, where are you guys finding it in the stores? I've looked at 3 different future shops here in winnipeg and there's none in the PS3 accessories section, nor on the website. There's not even a place where it would have been (but is now sold out). Is it in with dvd players or universal remotes? I haven't seen it anywhere here in winnipeg.

sugartune:

I found the ones in FS in the PS3 games and accessories section.

Gord Lacey · 2007-01-13, 04:50 PM

I haven't found one in Edmonton yet

The downtown Future Shop (Yonge and Elm just north of Dundas) has them in stock.

I'm wondering why a thread about a remote only useful for A/V uses wouldn't be in the BD player section?

bembol · 2007-01-13, 08:02 PM

Thanks. Picked one up earlier this afternoon!

Brampton has them, had 5 left!

I saw 2 in F.S in waterloo, 39.99

Any in vancouver? I checked the north van electronics stores with no luck.

MarshallFaulk28 · 2007-01-16, 10:45 AM

Future Shop has them up on their web site now this morning. Unfortunately, it also has a release date of Jan. 30 (and $2.99 shipping), so they seem to be behind the B&M stores.

Chevalde3 · 2007-01-16, 05:24 PM

Finally FS has Bluetooth remotes for PS3 as a pre-sale (estimated jan 30th arrivals) on the web site today. Much cheaper than ebay from the states. Some sellers were asking up to 30$ just for shipping to Canada and the average price was >28US$ up to 42US$ yesterday

Saw 6 at FS in Ancaster. Now there is 5.

ht_addict · 2007-01-17, 04:20 PM

Actually my local FS had 6 in stock, now they have 5
