Gaming consoles are no longer just for gaming. But navigating movies, music, and other content with a game controller can be a hassle, so Performance Designed Products (PDP) and Sony created the PS4 Universal Media Remote.

The device connects via Bluetooth and lets PS4 users turn their console on and off, and control up to three additional devices, including a TV, cable box, and audio receiver.

The universal remote isn't that different from the Dualshock 4 wireless controller; PDP incorporated many of the same dials and switches: PS, Share, and Option buttons, as well as Action buttons (triangle, circle, cross, and square).

At launch, the device will be compatible with the PS4's Blu-ray disc player, HBO GO, media player, Netflix, NFL Sunday Ticket, NBA Game Time, PlayStation Video and Vue, Twitch, YouTube, and more. Additional programs will be added in the future.

"Working closely with the SCEA helped ensure users have a seamless experience operating PS4 with the remote, right out of the box," PDP CEO Chris Richards said in a statement. "The remote makes it even easier to watch video content on PS4, from your favorite Blu-ray movies to shows on Netflix."

Expected for release in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico later this month, the Universal Media Remote is available now to pre-order for $29.99.

You may even want to pick up a new PlayStation 4 while you're at it. Ahead of the holiday shopping season, Sony dropped the console's price from $399.99 to $349.99. The company also announced a number of bundle discounts, including Uncharted, Call of Duty, Disney Infinity, and Star Wars.
