Hey guys,

I was wondering, is it possible to somehow acquire PS3 bluetooth address?
I tried searching through the menus however only network address is shown, nothing about bluetooth is visible.
Does anyone have an idea how I could get the address?

Edit: I have webman mod, if that helps?

Probably you can by running Linux and hcitool on the console?

Also, sixaxis/dualshock3 pairing works by sending the controller the console's MAC over usb - maybe the PC to DS3 wireless connection tools can help?

Don't know how widespread the practice was back then, but nowadays most devices which have wifi+bluetooth out of the box are configured with one card having the MAC of the other plus or minus 1...
