PlayStation 3 Remote Controller
The PlayStation 3 does not come with a DVD remote, but instead allows individuals to control the DVD and Blu-ray movies through the use of the controller that is used with the video games.
While this is a possibility, there are some individuals who find it confusing to have to choose what button to press to start, stop, fast forward to scene select while the movie is playing, since they are not clearly marked on the controller.

Once individuals get used to using the controller to play their DVDs, there really is not a need for a PlayStation 3 remote controller.
However, if the controller is hooked to the console so that the user is tethered to a certain distance from the TV, he might want to purchase a PlayStation 3 remote for convenience purposes.
What to Look for
Not all remote controls will work as a PlayStation 3 remote. For instance, if the remote does not have a Bluetooth capability, then the remote will not work with the PlayStation 3 system.
If it does, then most universal remotes can be programmed and used as a PlayStation 3 remote. There are many different PlayStation 3 remotes that are on the market. Some of these are manufactured by Sony specifically for the PlayStation 3 system.
These remotes cost between fifteen to twenty dollars, which is not a huge investment for individuals who would prefer to navigate the DVD and Blu-ray discs via remote rather than the controller.
One of the great features of the Bluetooth technology in the PlayStation 3 remotes is that it does not have to be pointed directly at the sensor on the system in order to work.
The traditional remotes that are used have infra-red technology which means that the sensor has to be able to pick up the light in order to work. If anything is blocking the way, the remote will not function correctly and the individual will have to move to get functionality.
