no you can... just grab the controller just like a 360 and it does start up the system... and one thing i will admit... the PS3's menus and such is much faster then the 360's sluggish interface...only thing i hate about the ps3 which is a really small thing is that theres no clock anywhere just under the time zone and such settings

The first time you use the controller you need to use the USB to set the controller up to the PS3, but after that you never need to do this again.

If you want to set-up the Blu-Ray remote or a Blu-Tooth headset then there is a place on the PS tool bar that allows you to register optional Blu-Tooth accesories (you can have a total of 7 different Blu-Tooth devises registered to one PS3).
