While picking up those cables I also decided I would pick up the PS3 remote. Now normally I would have 6 remotes and adding the PS3 remote would make it 7; that's not fun. Lucky for me I have a fancy schmancy universal remote. Overall, it's a pretty good remote (the software is ass but it's easy to overlook) that makes life great. So anyways, I unwrap my spiffy PS3 remote and find out I have to register it with my PS3. Hmm, well that's a little odd. I read the direction a little and FUCK it uses Blue Tooth. My remote (and assume most universal remotes) doesn't use Blue Tooth. Way to find another little way to fuck people Sony. |
Bluetooth > IR for remotes. You don't get annoying blocks of the signal, nor do you need to aim the remote directly at the unit. They're not trying to screw you, it's genuinely better. In any case, you don't need a remote. You can do everything with the controllers.
