I accept that it is not appropriate for gaming but my husband and I are not massive gamers. For us the ps3 is a mostly a media device and a DVD/blue ray player.</P><P></P><P>Why the hell is it possible for me to control my Panasonic TV, my old Sony DVD player and my sky box from the tablet but not the SONY(!!!) PS3!?</P><P></P><P>Until Sony gets their act together does anyone have a way around this? I cannot find an app to deal with it, I read somewhere that it may be possible to use a logitech all in one remote type thing but we don't have one and they are really expensive (does anyone know if other, cheaper, all in ones would work?)</P><P></P><P>Thanks for any help and Sony you should know I am really annoyed at you right now! </P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:49:21 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/tablets/sony-please-listen-controlling-ps3-with-the-tablet-where-is-the/m-p/310475#M2659 jegavri 2012-03-30T11:49:21Z Sony please listen!
