It does not work in any game consoles at all. It is only meant for use in desktop and laptop computers that are able to read and run the installation CD. (Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems). That is simply misleading product labelling and the list of game systems should be removed from the title. Some people argue that it does work in consoles but in the descriptions of such instances only say that this device can be used as a hotspot recognizable by consoles and portable devices, not the product actually working, connected to the devices as the title suggests.

If you have a harmony remote, you can buy a $50 dongle that will allow it to work just fine with your PS3. And in answer to you, Sam, the reason is that because the PS3 actually has the HDMI 1.3 standard (Instead of the 1.4 standard all other bluray players, like this one, must have) the PS3 cannot output 1080p in 3D. This player can. So you are paying more for 1080p.

Mine ONLY works with my PS3. No other hardware device will recognize it now. It happened all of a sudden. If anybody knows why that might be, please let me know.

I bought this so long ago so take my advice with a grain of salt. My TV has a toslink out and my PS3 is connected via HDMI to my HDTV. My tv is connected from toslink to this device then to my phillips home theater system. Hope that helps.

Yes it does work with the PS3. Feedback so far is mixed.... sometimes it works clearly... other times not so much. I've only had it for a couple of days and have only used it with the PS3. For the 8 bucks I payed for it... not bad.

I couldn't get this to work with a PS3, and it is made for that. I would say keep looking. If the official sony remote will work, then go that route, if not, you may be stuck.

HI Missy, sorry it took so long to get back to you. The PS3 Has an HDMI output so you should be able to connect to your display via HDMI.Hope that Helps, and enjoy your home theater system!

Sorry I don' have a PS3. However, since this cable does not send (HDMI) signal to a VGA monitor. I'm sure that the same would have happened to the PS3.

I do not have a ps3, however, Ps3 do not have a direct audio output for USB, then you will need to buy an adapter from USB to the HDMI output if you want to enjoy the 7.1 surround

Question for any of you on here:I have the tv, and I just got a PS3. Thing is, for some reason I can't seem to get the PS3 to output dolby surround or dts. I'm running an HDMI cable from the PS3 into the HDMI 2 port on the tv. Then I'm running a fiber optic digital cable from the tv into my little mini receiver -- I have a set of Logitech THX 5.1 speakers. I can get the PCM Stereo on DVDs and BluRay discs, but not surround. I know it's not an issue from the TV to the receiver, because I still get dolby surround on TV shows that have it. I've also tried adjusting setting on the PS3. Any advice? Question for any of you on here:I have the tv, and I just got a PS3.

I dont own a PS3/4 but on Xbox it would work and Xbox One no. You could likely find an adapter for it.

You can use it as voice chat with the PS3. But it won't play game or movie sounds. Just voice chat. Only the official PS3 headsets play audio.

Just connect the HDMI from PS3 to your TV directly and the Optical digital Out of the PS3 to the receiver. Once you have connected it to the receiver then make sure that you are selecting the right input by pressing the digital input button on the front of the receiver(e.g. OPT1/OPT2). This is the easiest solution. This means you have to have two cables one HDMI cable from PS3 to TV and one Optical digital cable from PS3 to the receiver. One other thing, you have to change the setup on your PS3 too. You have to select the cable type for Audio output. Do not select HDMI for Audio output on PS3. It won't work as this receiver does not support HDMI for Audio. Just connect the HDMI from PS3 to your TV directly and the Optical digital Out of the PS3 to the receiver.

Just use the RCA cables that came with the ps3, and set the audio feature under "settings" to RCA. Your ps3 will still display with hdmi cable and then output audio with RCA. Also if you're using RCA to output audio, be sure to buy one of these with this specific speaker system Logitech 5.1 Game Console Adapter Convert Rca Plugs To A Single 1/8 (Discontinued by Manufacturer)This adapter will give your ps3 5.1 channel surround sound without having to use the lame matrix mode.

As far as I can tell, the cheapest options to have this work with the PS3 with true surround sound, would be something like this:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item;=350193812906&ssPageName;=STRK:MEWAX:IT- With this product, you'd have to set your PS3 audio to output HDMI LPCM 5.1 44/48khzOr, if you buy a Tritton AXPro 5.1 Headset, it would come with a Dolby decoder that can output to these speakers.

Honestly I end up never using it. The user interface is slow and awkward so I end up just powering on my ps3. My understanding is if you have a Samsung TV with a USB port you can use this. Its backwards compatible so if it's an older series you're still fine.
