From what I\'ve heard, It seems that most of the 3rd party remotes are of poor quality and do not work that well. Daily Radar reviewed the Sony remote, which is presently only available in Japan, and gave it glowing reviews. If you are patient, wait for the official Sony remote to be released, which I presume is not that far off. I purchased the Pelican variety, which IMO is a POS, but cuts the mustard in the meantime.
