And for some brain dead reason the PS5 doesn’t have a dedicated media remote you can actually buy.

Xbox does.

    The PS5 does have a media remote. It is available for sale at most retailers that stock PS5 controllers.

    Seems to be available everywhere in the US - even on the official Sony site, but in the EU it’s only in the less reputable stores.

    That is a bit odd. Maybe it doesn't sell that well in the EU. Here in the UK pretty much all the major retailers sell them, plus the PlayStation Direct store.

    That's weird. When I bought my PS2 (not PS5, this was when the PS2 was new... ish...) I bought a media remote for it. The PS2 was replacing our first-gen DVD player, which was struggling with dual layer discs. So I had to get one that my mother could use. And she was perfectly fine using a game system as a DVD player, as long as it made sense and had a remote (she would not use a controller). And the remote was cool, it had the same colours and styling of the PS2.

    Weird that the PS5 doesn't have one.
