Harmony® Adapter for PLAYSTATION®3 is out!!

Well, the wait is finally over.  Those of us who have Logitech Harmony universal remotes can finally use it to control their PS3.  In case you didn’t know, the only way previously to use a remote with your PS3 and have access to all the commands, including power on/off, was to buy Sony’s Bluetooth Remote.  Well Now you can add this little box and have access to all commands from Logitech Harmony Remotes.  It’s still a little pricey right now at $59.99, but Logitech’s prices usually go down pretty quickly.  It’s available from Logitech directly or amazon.com. 

Finally, Harmony remote control for PS3

Well, it’s about time.  Since the only viable option for this, the IRBT is about as easily available as Final Four tickets, I might have to get one of these.  Caught this on Logitech’s blog .

• Yesterday, an Engadget reporter did some digging on an FCC Web site and uncovered our plans to manufacture an adapter that allows our Harmony remotes to control the PS3. We can’t give you all the details just yet, but we can say that this adapter will, when used with any Harmony remote, give you complete control of your movie-watching experience on PS3. It will also turn the PS3 on and off – and allow you to set up your Harmony activities to include the PS3 just as you would any other device. You also won’t need to dedicate any of your valuable USB ports to get that control

Cow Bell Deal: Logitech Harmony 659, $50

Tiger Direct, via Amazon, has this remote for $50 without any rebates or other BS. If you are looking for an excellent high-end universal remote without having to drop over a hundo, I would recommend this one. My dad even has one, and if he can work it, anyone can.

With the Harmony remotes there is no need for knowing any remote codes of your TV, set-top box or audio equipment. You simply attach the remote to a computer and tell the Harmony software what products you use, how you use them and the remote will do the rest.

How cool is that!!!
