Bluetooth for Blu-Ray: The PS3 remote goes Bluetooth

Ben Kuchera of ars technica thought he could use his nice universal remote with his PS3. Apparently he was wrong. Engadget reports that the remote works via Bluetooth.

.. cus the infrared remote of the 360 is useless if u got ur 360 in ur closet :)

.. a well, the controller still works fine for me :)

This is stupid in my opinion. It kills the ability to use programmable remotes like a Harmony.

jedicurt6497d ago

might be stupid right now, but sony announced not to long ago that their newer tv's are also going to ship with bluetooth remotes. however they still will be able to support infrared, so perhaps the ps3 will be like this aswell, so you can still use your universal remote, just the standard one will be bluetooth. atleast that is what i would do to make the transition easier

We might even be able to use our cellular as a remote as well... Maybe through a small thirdparty software we download to our phones.

Bluetooth is the future, and so will Blu-ray. Learn to live with it. The PS3 will be the number 1 console in 4 years and every year after that. Sony is in this for the long run.

Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.

That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.

The Industry Needs To Modernize These 6 Fantastic Classics

The Simpsons: Hit and Run, The Legend of Dragoon, and Chrono Trigger would benefit substantially from a modern remake.

The Xenosaga trilogy, the Wild Arms games, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, Suikoden. The Warriors game I know nothing about but it looks interesting. Anybody can do a list of games they want to see get modernized I would lose my shit if Namco brought the Xenosaga trilogy to modern consoles.
