http://www.geeksaresexy.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/universal-ps3-remote-1.jpgI don’t know about you, but I’m not really ready to shell out a few hundred bucks to buy a universal remote that supports the PS3. Logitech’s Harmony series remotes are really nice, but if you want PS3 support, you’ll have to buy a special infrared adapter on top of the remotes to make them work with your setup.
Fortunately, you won’t have to do that anymore, thanks to SMK-Link (http://www.smklink.com/), a U.S. hardware manufacturer that specializes in remotes of all kinds. At $50, The Blu-Link PS3 Universal Remote (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LARYGA?ie=UTF8&tag=bkgas-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002LARYGA) supports both Bluetooth and infrared devices. That’s pretty cheap considering that harmony remotes cost from $60 to $500 (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=logitech+harmony+remote&x=0&y=0&tag=bkgas-20), and that you’ll have to pay another extra $60 for the special adapter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00267S7XW?ie=UTF8&tag=bkgas-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creative ASIN=B00267S7XW) if you want to make them work with the PS3.
