To use the app with your PlayStation 3, you will need to map your device to communicate with the PS3. This application works as a Bluetooth device with your PlayStation 3.
PS3 Remote
- An prominent feature of the PlayStation 3 is its Blu-ray player, but the only remote you can use when watching movies is the PS3 controller. However, the PocketBlu application allows you to control the PS3 Blu-ray features with your phone. This free app also allows you to rate content, search with text and integrate Facebook features with PlayStation 3 media.
