i don't know why someone would want to go 3rd party on this esp since the Sony remote always goes on sale.

Some people would rather have an ir reciever for their universal remote. However usb cant control on/off so its not perfect.

So would that mean you could program this remote into a universal harmony remote and just use that instead?

That's what I plan to do...

Firmware 2.0 introduced a serious lag issue with this device. I've got one and was using it with my universal remote but have now gone back to the controller (ugh). The more than 2 second lag between pressing a button and the ps3 responding to it became too frustrating for me.

I've been using a combination of the old PS2 Remote IR receiver and a PS2/PS3 convertor, with my Harmony, but its just not smooth enough.

I guess I'll just break down and pick up the Sony PS3 remote. Using another remote is bad enough, but the fact that its not back lit is really a turn off. I really wish there was a good solution for all of this.

Sorry for the off topic rant.

that's one ugly ass remote... just go with the blue tooth one ($19.99) or the other slick one, the one you can slide the panel to reveal more buttons, that one is pretty slick.

QFT, most annoying signature ever.

How do you program a harmony remote for the ps3? I tried before and it said it couldn't because the ps3 uses bluetooth.
