 Works Perfect! July 18, 2008
I needed a solution that I could use with my AV system.. Since Sony in their infinite wisdom decided to do something different with their remotes this time, this device works perfectly. I simply plugged the USB device into the PS3, learned the ir codes into my universal remote and now I can control the PS3 movies with my universal remote.
PS3 IR remote works great July 18, 2008
The Nyko PS3 Blu-Wave IR remote provides a very low cost way to be able control the Blu-ray Disc and DVD playback functions of a PS3 using a IR remote (either the one included in the Blu-Wave package or a universal remote). Included in the package is a IR receiver that plugs into one of the PS3's USB ports plus a small IR remote control. I'm using a Harmony universal remote for the rest of my audio/video equipment and with the addition of the Blu-Wave IR receiver (i.e., plugged into one of the PS2's USB ports) I can now control the PS3 via my Harmony remote.
GREAT WORK AROUND FOR A UNIVERSAL REMOTE July 18, 2008
Works as advertised. All PS3 remote control commands work on my Harmony 880 except the PS button, which is not the fault of this product. Easy to program; codes are in the Harmony database. All of this has been stated in other reviews so I won't repeat again. This product is a $15 workaround that allows you to use a universal IR remote with the PS3. The IR dongle is what you're paying for. I never even looked at the remote. If you really need a remote for the PS3, you might as well buy the Sony PS3 remote.
Great little remote July 17, 2008
This remote id PERFECT for controlling the Blu-ray player on the PlayStation. Too bad it doesn't have a Power Button. The Infrared Dongle is the best part, (lets you use other infrared remotes that cost FAR less than BlueTooth!) Worth every penny.
EXCELLENT UNIVERSAL REMOTE SOLUTION 4 PS3 July 5, 2008
I have a recurring dream where I punch Sony's CEO in the face for not integrating IR along with Bluetooth in the gaming console that set me back $500. I usually wake up covered in sweat and with a curious throbbing in my left hand. Luckily, there is a real world solution for the frustration universal remote owners feel when faced with the PS3 Bluetooth problem. The Nyko Blu Wave.
I use a Harmony remote to control my entertainment system and with the Blu Wave, the setup couldn't have been easier. The Harmony software actually recognized the remote under the 'video game (with dvd) listing and with a few minor adjustments [minor compared to other devices I've had to program into it], I couldn't be happier. The only down side is there's no power button, but since I usually have to get up to change discs anyway, this really isn't a big problem for me.
One reviewer complained about the PS3 assigning the remote as controller 1 when it's powered on. This is a small inconvenience if you want to play Metal Gear Solid instead of watching a movie. Most, if not all, games require the controller you use to be assigned as No. 1, but this can be easily fixed. Simply hold in the PS button on the controller you want to use for the game and a menu pops up on the screen. Select 'controller settings' and then 'reassign the controller' and then switch it to number one. Voila! Now you don't have to constantly unplug the dongle when you want to play a game.
