The PS3 Logitech Harmony Remote Adapter Arrives

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. No one wants to buy a universal remote, only to purchase another remote.

In comes Logitech with the Harmony Adapter for the PS3. It is designed to work with their Harmony universal remotes. The adapter allows you to finally control the PS3 with your harmony universal remote. It supports all the functions and commands of the PS3, so navigating DVD and blu-ray menus should be easy as pie. It’s about damn time.
