PlayStation 3 Blu Wave Remote Reviews
w thompson Great product that makes Blu Ray DVD playing very simple. Works out of the box. It allows playing all Blu Ray DVD's on my 1080p HDTV.
Returned the Blu-Wave remote, got the BlueTooth remote, never been happier. The "issue" is that there is a *much* better solution: Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Disc Remote. Bluetooth so you don't need to worry about line-of-sight, intuitive for a no-brainer out of the box experience, and designed by Sony specifically for the PS3 so absolutely no issues. Truthfully, this remote does what it says it does, and it isn't a horrible solution to playing movies on the PS3.
This is not a remote, it's just the USB dongle, for people who already have a universal remote. It's main advantage is that it looks like it was built with the PS3 - you'll forget you have it. The most critical thing you need to know about this remote is that, unlike the Sony Bluetooth remote, or a real ir to bluetooth solution, it doesn't offer any functionality that the game controller doesn't give you. In fact, it offers less - as it has no PS button, and can't power off the PS3. The Sony bluetooth remote is about $10 more, and offers 51 functions. Off of amazon, you can find the PS3IRX1 that offers 14 functions (missing L3 and R3) from the Sony PS2 IR remote, plus power off (but not on), for another $5. That said, this is probably the cheapest solution to let you get some control with a universal remote - but it only offers you 16 functions. For considerably more, you can get an IR2BT or PS3IR-PRO, which are real IR to Bluetooth translators, giving you the full 50+ button functionality via your ir universal remote.
Got it to work with Logitech Harmony remote to control PS3. Easy set up. It won't turn PS3 on and off but you have to put in a disc anyway so turn it on while you're there. Works great.
Therefore you must either leave your PS3 on all the time or manually switch the PS3 on evertime you need to use the PS3 remote. This is a good remote for hooking up your PS3 to a universal remote control (eg: Logitech Harmony) however it does not provide the ability to turn your PS3 on or off. (This is because the remote's receiver runs off USB and USB requires power first to operate).
