PS3 remotes popping up in stores

It’s interesting to note that even though this particular PS3 accessory was supposed to have already launched since December 7, there really hasn’t been much word about it since it was last spotted at CEATEC… until about now. In any case, here it is, and according to the folks of Kotaku, the PS3’s Blu-ray Disc (BD) Remote Control is already being spotted in some stores such as GameStop and the like. Selling for US$ 24.99 a pop, at least you can now ask the not-so-technologically-inclined members of your household to play your movies and  music while you grab a snack from the kitchen.

One common thing which most people have been noticing about the BD remote, though, is that… well… it’s not particularly pretty as compared to its Xbox 360 and Wii counterparts.

And they’re sort of right.
