The PS3 in my opinion is one of the biggest bargains in the CE industry. In addition to being a fantastic video game console, it also doubles as a fine blu-ray player. In fact, when blu-ray player choices were slim, many people bought the console solely for blu-ray playback.

However, there was one caveat with using the PS3 as a blu-ray player; the remote issue. The PS3 is a bluetooth device, so it obviously won’t work with most universal remotes on the market that are either IR or RF. Up until now, your options were the cumbersome PS3 controller which is fine for games, not so much for movies. Another option was the PS3 bluetooth remote which worked fine, but defeated the purpose of getting a universal remote in the first place.

When it comes to getting an advantage in your PC gaming, there’s no such thing as too far to go. You can get a multiple monitor setup, an insane graphics card, and a special keyboard to bring your game to the next level. But did you know that how good your mouse is also has a lot to do with how well you play? It’s true.

The new Razer 3G Laser Sensor Mouse is one of the most precise computer peripherals ever, featuring a 4000 DPI sensor that’ll make sure the slightest move of your hand is registered in the game. It also has 32kb of onboard memory, 1000Hz Ultrapolling, a mere 1ms response, and an “Always-On” mode. I’d like to see your standard mouse do that. And when it comes to defeating the competition in online death matches, there’s no such thing as too much of an advantage.
