In a recent Gizmodo interview with CTO Denny Breitenfeld, a NetBlender SDK will soon allow Apple's iPhone and iPod touch to communicate with the PS3 console's Blu-ray player.
According to NetBlender, iPhone users will soon be able to remotely control their PS3 using an application called BD Touch.
"It's a technology that is built into our professional Blu-Ray authoring tool that will allow studios, independent movie companies to enable BD Touch features.
These features send data in two directions from the Disc to the iPhone and vice versa. Video, Audio, text, and player commands can be sent.
NetBlender will make its official announcement on Thursday.
This looks like a great way to play.
Rocksmith+, the award winning music-learning app that teaches you guitar and piano with thousands of hit songs, is coming to PlayStation and Steam on June 6, and is available to wishlist now on both platforms.
"The sudden closure of several video-game studios at Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox division was the result of a widespread cost-cutting initiative that still isn’t finished.
This week, Xbox began offering voluntary severance agreements to producers, quality assurance testers and other staff at ZeniMax, which it purchased in 2020 for $7.5 billion, according to people familiar with the company’s plans. Others across the Xbox organization have been told that more cuts are on the way.
Speaking about the closures more broadly, Booty said that the company’s studios had been spread too thin — like “peanut butter on bread” — and that leaders across the division had felt understaffed. They decided to close these studios to free up resources elsewhere, he said.
Game Pass has not seen the massive growth that Xbox boss Phil Spencer may have been hoping for."

So what you're saying is...you bought all these studios and you guys can't run them.
Jesus.
Reports are suggesting that Game Pass will be getting a price hike soon and that Call of Duty may not be added to the day one offering. I honestly have a hard time believing this but it does beg the question why exactly did GP fail? I think the answer is that it just didn't get the growth that it anticipated. Jim was right but I wish he wasn't because at the end of the day, its gamers, devs and other front-line workers who have to absorb the blow for Spencer and team's miscalculations.
For all the armchair executives who were calling for Sony to release its big-budget AAA games on PS+, the same exact thing would have happened at PlayStation. Game Pass has killed Xbox. Congrats.
A look back at 4A Games' admirably consistent post-apocalyptic shooter franchise.
wow that is really sick! but im guessing it will be via bluetooth, which the ipod touch doesnt have.
Iphone has Bluetooth so this really isn't that much of a surprise.
Looks like my inability to not waste money on new expensive tech is starting to pay off. As if my iPhone needs more use
How about an iPod reader for the PS3 first that more people want and will use?!!!!!!!!!!?????!???????
This open software dev stuff is amazing ....
Thank god for linuix/unix and all the other tools out there for this level of dev and freedom and sharing.I hope more comes from this open approach to software on Iphone and PS3.
People need to applaud this stuff..
