Not by itself, the PS3 doesn't have IR, it works by Bluetooth. It is possible to get a USB IR dongle that will work with a universal remote though. -- nm - Ender Mar 13, 07:35 7
- (Specifically, I got this one and it worked with my existing Harmony 880 universal remote.) -- (link) - Ender Mar 13, 07:41 6
  - Not bad. ~$10 cheaper than the official remote, but you can use your existing one. Must check .ca for something similar. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 07:45 4
    - The only drawback is that it doesn't support those color-coded buttons, you'd need to call up the PS3 menu for those. -- nm - Ender Mar 13, 07:53 3
      - So you end up still having to use the controller. Hmm. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 07:55 2
        
        No, you can call up the PS3 menu with the remote. - Ender Mar 13, 08:01 1
        
        Ah I see. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 08:04
  - thank you for this :) -- nm - decline Mar 13, 07:43
No. The PS3 uses Bluetooth. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 07:35
I don't know about that. But I bought the PS3 remote for $25 and it works great. -- nm - Redmond(first ST Killzone2 night is 03/18 5PM PDT) Mar 13, 07:34
