Come'on. You got to love the idea of controlling your PS3 from just about anywhere in the house! I have frequently used my PS3 for music and it comes in very handy when you are not in direct line of sight with the unit (i.e.: Kitchen, patio, bathroom... don't ask...)
Good info though, did not know half of those devices even existed.
You make some good points in this artice, its a big improvement. To your bluetooth and IR functionality, there are quite a few of these nameless chinese manufacturers who are actually making such devices and at a relatively cheap price at that, occasionaly you see them pop-up on ebay. I recently got myself an IR, Bluetooth and GPRS smart touch screen phone watch off of ebay which I can use to control both my ps3 and my my IR projector all for around £15 with £20 P&P.
But lets face it, IR is a bit of a step backward as far as technology goes, you might as well just have one IR remote for your IR devices and one multiple programmable bluetooth remote for all your bluetooth devices, IR does still have its uses but as far as the ps3 goes, adding IR in would be a MASSIVE step backward and a pointless manufacturing cost.
Of course this is just my opinion, I could be wrong ^^

The Nyko remote for $15 will provide a better remote solution than those specific adapters that are $55 or higher. For anyone with a PS3, I highly recommend giving it a try.

If you have just a 27" TV and a DVD player, then there's no need for a Harmony remote. The TV remote can probably handle the task, or you can find a cheapie universal remote that can do it. However, if you have a fairly advanced setup, there aren't too many options cheaper than the Harmony remotes that will offer a one-remote solution. There certainly aren't any easier to use.

On a side note, can anybody recommend a PS3 controller with programmable macros/auto fire ? Im looking to gain an edge in COD4 !
If you want an ultimate edge in COD4 you don't want to use the ps3 controller, its ok for a day-to-day player, but if your a serious player and you want a real edge you want to be using a keyboard and mouse which can be achieved using this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/XFPS-RATE-UP-KEYBOARD-MOUSE-RATEUP-PS3-PLAYSTATION-3-UK_W0QQitemZ350094749948QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item350094749948&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
This item will allow you to set up auto fire and key and button mapping and it works on practicaly every games console out there (almost), also it works the opposite way round linking up controllers to the PC and such. This one is a bit pricey but a good example. You can find cheaper versions out there. But if you want an edge you want this!
I personaly don't use this (I am your average day-to-day player xD). But I have used it, and I will probably use this when Final Fantasy comes out (maybe).

I wouldn't want to ruin the relationship I have with my control by having an affair with a remote control
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this or not, but, I can't get my brand new remote to work. Is there something that I need to do to get it to work? (It's the Sony Remote, not the game controller)
Thanks
