PS3? Does anyone used this remote, Sony RM-VL600, to control PS3? Does it work? Thanks!

For $19, you think this remote should include Bluetooth? I think not.Plus the PS3 doesn't have an IR.

If you search thru the reviews, you'll come the the conclusion that it does NOT. PS3's remote controls only work via bluetooth. This doesn't make much sense to me --- Sony's universal remote can't even control their own device? But that's the way it is with PS3. You'll need a bluetooth remote

As others have stated, it works very well. On the screen of your Logitech remote (I have the 650) you should be able to scroll to select any of the buttons on the PS remote you might need (such as the PS button and the Triangle for searching). I love it for Netflix and we don't use our PS controllers unless we're playing games.

I guess Amazon didn't print my review. This remote did not work with anything. The Dish worked, but I could not program anything else (TV, Amp, DVD, etc). I threw the thing awayand bought a Sony Remote Commander ($25.00) and it works great.

If you mean for the ps3 control then I'd figure within 20ft you'll be good. For the ps3 it works on Bluetooth. All the other things you control it would need a line of sight because it uses IR single not Bluetooth

I assume you lost the remote that came with the unit. You may want to look into one of those Universal Remotes. You may also want to contact Sony for their advice.

I just tested the bluetooth through 1 wall. The PS3 is in a bedroom, so I just went to the hallway and pressed the power button on the remote, it turned on the PS3 with no issues. But if you are asking about the inferred part of the remote, that works just like any other inferred remote and functions with line of sight.Aron

I bought a Harmony One remote along with the wireless PS3 adapter that controls PS3 . I now can turn everything on an off with the Harmony remote.The wireless PS3 adapter works with all harmony remotes. The Harmony One controls 15 apps so plenty for future upgrades, the only thing it's expensive, but for me the frustration of using multiple remotes for my Yamaha receiver, PS3 games as well as Blue Ray and Vizio TV all on a color back lit screen is money well spent in my eyes, and I can customize the remote to make it do what I want.

They have an adapter now that will work with the PS3, but unfortunately it's more money than the remote itself...

Yes had the same problem. Ps3 and ps4 would not work with this product. An internet search on the topic will pull alot of people with the same problem. If you can return it and get a different brand.

Even I am looking for a similar answer. Please let me know if this or some other one that particularly works with PS3. Thanks

There is another solution at http://www.schmartstuff.com/. For $35 you can buy a USB dongle that supports IR. It blends in well and works good. You have to customize your buttons for the activity you designate your PS3 for. It does not switch the PS3 on or off, but if you're watching a BD you have to put the disc in and take the disc out. Turning it off manually isn't a huge inconvienecne.

Probably you need to register (pair) the remote control with your PS3. Follow the instructions on the remote control manual.

Ive heard people have been able to get it to work...(i personally dont really need the ps button) for first person shooters. Some games I will buy just for the pc because of the keyboard mouse combo I have. It would just be nice if I could get this bluetooth keyboard to work with the pS3.

I've got a sony remote from a TV I bought at the same time as the Network Media Player, but can't find the code to program it. Anyone know the remote code?

Can't believe you have a functional machine.Mine was a piece of junk. I recycled it.You might be able to get a remote from Sony's web-site, or maybe eBay, but if if you aren't sure you have a functioning machine, I wouldn't waste my money on a remote.

I think it's improperly labeled as working with PS3s even though it doesn't work with ALL PS3s. I purchased this product and tried it with the old PS3 20GB model that didn't have WiFi built in. It doesn't recognize it, as I kind of expected (but it was worth the risk for $7). It probably does work with the newer models that have built in WiFi, although I don't know why you would ever find a use for it.
