Logitech Harmony Adapter for Playstation 3 Reviews
This device is the one PS3 and Harmony remote users have been waiting for. It is very responsive and has all the functionality of the Sony brand PS3 remote (on my Harmony One at least…this may vary depending on which version of the Harmony you have and the number of buttons it has). A few caveats buyers may have about this unit are the price, and the chances are that by now, they already have some kind of solution to controlling the PS3.
$60 seems a bit high at first. The PlayStation 3 Blu Wave Remote and the Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Disc Remote are both considerably less than this device. However, they both have some drawbacks as well. I have both of the above mentioned remotes. The Nyko is a decent solution for universal remote owners as it allows the PS3 to be controlled through any IR remote (it’s especially easy with Harmony remotes, as Logitech has the Nyko device available for programming through the Harmony software). The issues with the Blu-Wave are that you can’t turn on the PS3 through the remote, it uses up one of your PS3′s USB ports, and it also can be a bit glitchy. Often it will stop responding altogether and I’ll have to unplug and replug the USB receiver for it before it will work again. The Sony remote works well and the nice part about it is that you don’t need a direct line of site between the remote and the PS3 because it connects through bluetooth. However for all of us who have universal remotes, you’ll need to keep both your universal and the Sony remote on hand.
If you are like me and absolutely love your Harmony and are borderline OCD and must be able to turn your PS3 on and off through one unit because you can’t stand to have multiple remotes out, then this is $60 well spent. The other options that I’ve seen that allow power control of the PS3 through Harmony remotes are the IR2BTci and the PS3IR-Pro. These devices are a better comparison to the Logitech Harmony Adapter because they add similar functionality. I have not tried either of these devices personally, so I can’t comment on how well they work…however, I can say that they are considerably more expensive than $60, if you can even find them for purchase from a reputable vendor (at the time of this writing, the IR2BTci is $150 and the PS3IR-Pro is $100). Also, aesthetically, they don’t hold a candle to Logitech’s adapter. The Logitech unit has a small form-factor, and also matches the finish of the PS3 perfectly, while these other units seem to be a tad unsightly and slightly bulkier as well. And as for performance, while I can’t say how the others perform, I also can’t imagine them being able to perform much better than this Logitech Adapter (which seems to be virtually flawless in terms of performance).
If you’re tired of the spotty performance of the Nyko Blu-Wave or having multiple remotes out (or are simply looking to get your first remote for the PS3 and already own or are planning on getting a Harmony remote), I really can’t imagine that you’ll have buyer’s remorse from spending $60 on this, as it is a really great device.
