The PS3 (PlayStation 3) has a built-in Bluetooth feature. This enables users to connect other Bluetooth devices, including cell phones, headsets and computers. As long as you have another device that has a Bluetooth feature, you can sync it with your PS3. Headsets let users have multi-player games and cell phones allow users to download information between electronics. Fortunately, syncing a cell phone with a PS3 only takes a few minutes due to the built-in settings.
