A case for bluetooth remote controllers; manufacturers must take note
I bought a Sony PS3 a while ago. I love it. There are so many well written PS3 reviews out there, so there is no point in writing a review here. I’ve begun to use the PS3 more as a media server to stream media within my home.
At first I had issues with the PS3 remote controller. I was rather disappointed that I couldn’t use a universal remote controller to control the PS3. This was the case because PS3 remote used bluetooth wireless protocol instead of infra red.
Lately, I’ve fallen in love with this bluetooth remote because it is a true remote controller. Unlike infra red remote controllers the devices could be any where and does not need to be lined up. This allows you to control your devices from another room without line of sight. This makes bluetooth protocol much superior and much more practical in this application.
When I first got my Sony PS3 I wished that it used an IR remote… now I’m waiting for the day all remotes are bluetooth. Sony has taken a step in the right direction in utilizing bluetooth for this remote, enhancing it’s mobility. It’s time others follow suit.
