The videogaming experience of a Sony PlayStation 3 might still have its critics, but at least there's always got the cheap Blu-ray DVD player to fall back on. In fact, reports suggest that its relatively low cost compared to standalone devices were why people bought the console in the first place.

If that's you, perhaps you'll be interested in the Darklite DVD Remote from Messiah Entertainment. It matches the PS3's sleek, black design, while main functions are controlled by a menu wheel that looks suspiciously like that of an Apple iPod. Secondary inputs work by buttons on a infinitely cool slide-out keypad that is hidden in the back.

The remote uses rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and is a snip at just $29.99 USD.
