I could use a PS2 remote with dongle... but my PS3 doesn't have PS2 ports. In fact, when I first took it out of the box I was pretty amazed at how few external feature the "It only does everything!!!1" machine had. While they keep adding USB ports to the 360, they seem to be doing the opposite with the PS3. I keep an external hard drive full of media plugged into the back of my 360, and was kind of disappointed to see the latest PS3 only has two USB ports and they are both in the front. They still work well enough, but having ugly USB cords hanging out the front of the system doesn't look the nicest.
