Heads up Playstation 3 Owners New News

[htxpert]

Hello all,

As you know the PS3 can be operated with an I/R USB adapter but we were
still lacking a power on power off from an I/R based remote, the problem has
now been solved thanks to a start up manufacturer. Additionally the Playstation
3 is now officially the first profile 2.0 Blueray player on the market with the
newly released firmware and DTS-MA will be coming for the PS3 in a soon to be
released firmware revision. I am definitely not a Sony fan boy and detest just
about every product they manufacture but I must admit the PS3 is truly an
awesome Bluray player and ***COUGH*** Sony is supporting its platform admirably.

seems to be a little backwards. I would think if you were going to offer a converter for a PS3 it would be a bluetooth to RF. Most of the higher end universal remotes are RF. Personally I hate IR remotes because my equipment is in the back in the sidewall. It would be nice to see a Bluetooth universal remote hit the market that would accept signals from IR and RF and convert them to BT.

PS:

I have never been a Sony fan but I love my PS3 it is an incredible machine.
