| Re: PS3 Remote recommendation, mostly as BluRay player said by Nightfall  :I got the same remote, but I got it from Amazon. It works awesome. Well worth the price. Highly recommend it. Think it's better than this one?

| Only one really worth using is the Sony brand model, because there is no IR sensor for the PS3 so that you could use a universal remote that most standard home theater equipment would have used.
Pretty much all (or most) the others have to use a USB dongle in order to fake the IR support so that their remotes could be used (likely because they didn't want to have to pay for the Bluetooth usage, or then retro-make a driver so that it would work on the PS3, and probably pay Sony some kind of royalty to make their remotes no longer price-competitive).
Anyways, the simple suggestion is to stick with the official one. | |

| If you have a universal remote and don't want to have another remote sitting around, there are a few third party adapters floating around also such as this »ir2bt.com/
I'm currently using the Sony remote myself but will eventually get some type of adapter so I can just use the Harmony once again. | |

| off topic on remotes. I was a user of the logitech 1000 and despite being well reviewed I found it really bad.
a) to use it you had to look at it, not at the tv
b) the battery died, isn't available other than from logitech
c) it was buggy, and slow
d) it was somewhat fragile
so when the battery died, I took the chance and "upgraded" to the cheaper harmony One. This is a MUCH better universal. Lots of real backlit buttons but also the programmable color touch screen. Proper shape. Can be used without looking at it. Less bugs and faster in channel flicking. Only problem: the damn thing lacks RF extender functionality.
But I'm finally satisfied! I don't think there is any comparable universal below the super high end versions.
The system logitech use for programming the remote under windows and mac is still totally brain dead slow and stupidly frustratingly designed. But thats a setup phase annoyance.
So getting back to the topic I'd get the IR adapter and get a harmony One and put all those other remotes into the bottom drawer for good.. | |

| i also use the harmony one. i originally bought the nyko bluwave so i could control the PS3 with the harmony but i found not being able to turn it on and off as well as the usb dongle parking its self on controller 1 to be very annoying so i think i am going to try an ir2bt next which is supposed to allow the full functionality of the sony remote from the harmony. | |
