Your PlayStation 3 has an integrated optical drive that allows you to watch high-definition videos in Blu-ray format as well as standard definition videos from standard DVD media. The Sony Corporation offers PlayStation 3 owners the option to purchase a separate Bluetooth-enabled remote control from various authorized retail stores around the world. The proprietary Sony PlayStation 3 remote control allows for greater control when watching DVDs/BD movies and navigating through the video menu screens.
