Logitech Harmony PS3 Remote Adapter
// June 17th, 2009 // No Comments » // Gadgets, Technology
This is for all of us who navigate our PS3 with the PS3 controller to watch movies, as we all know, it’s an awkward way to go about this process. Granted that a USB remote seems to work ok, but It’s still no ideal. Well Logitec decided to give this one a try with their Harmony PS3 Remote Adapter.
Why is it better than controllers? Well here we go:
- You can turn on and off the PS3 with the remote.
- Gets power from an AC outlet, so you don’t have to give us a USB port.
- Every function for the PS3 is supported, unlike some remotes out there…LIKE MY SHITTY ONE!
- Works with any Harmony remote.
The video below was not made by me and it is part 2 of an “unboxing” series of 2 video by some guy. I didn’t post part one of the video because it sucks, all he does is waste internet space by unboxing the device.
How does it work:
- Sync the Harmony Adapter like any other Bluetooth device.
- It then receives the IR signal from the remote and translates it to Bluetooth commands for the PS3.
- …Oh, that’s it
Is this device imperfect in any ways? Yes, the Harmony Adapter is a PS3 specific Bluetooth device, so you can’t use it on any other devices, even if they support Bluetooth. Also it is only available through Amazon.com
How much will you have to shell out? Only $60, while that may be considered slightly expensive, it’s worth it. Some other remote controls will run for a similar price anyways.
