It's out! It's out! Not that I was asking for it.

Logitech Harmony Adapter for Playstation 3 (Amazon.com)

Smart decision by Logitech. If I didn't already have a device that I can use with my Harmony and PS3 I would have bought this in an instant.

That's fantastic - I have been waiting for this. It's the final piece of the puzzle for one remote blu-ray operations for the family HT. Now, when will it be available in Canada? It's not on the Canadian Logitech site or Amazon.ca. Thanks for the update.

Indeed!!

Thanks CV. I may soon be $60 poorer.

Yow... that is sort of expensive for what it is. I was expecting more in the $30ish range.

I've actually got one of those cheapie USB-IR dongles + remote for my PS/3. Given to me as a gift. It's really quite terrible. A 'real' BT + Harmony solution would be quite nice.

The power on/off is neat. I have a 10$ gizmo that do all the other functions except those two (and which integrates seemlessly with my H.890).

Yet, 6 times the price... Hm... I will pass...

Since the doodad connects via BT to the PS/3, I wonder if the PS/3 will just think it's another controller.

And if that's the case, I wonder if I could then play games with my Harmony remote.

EF, which $10 gizmo do you have? I'm curious as to which brand it is. I've tried mapping & teaching my Harmony the codes from my cheap-IR remote + dongle set. My H1 seems to learn & understand the codes correctly, but my PS3's response to the H1-generated codes is frustratingly inconsistent. The original cheapie IR remote isn't much better.

$60 isn't cheap. But I'm pretty seriously tempted. For no other reason than to have a solution that I know should 'just work'.

I'm interested too. I'm still leaning more towards one of the third party USB converters because I want to retain my tried and true URC RF300. An new Harmony would be expensive for me because I would need to get one of the higher end models with RF capabilities plus the extra matching Harmony RF to IR blaster.

Well gang, I just ordered mine. I really like using my PS/3 as a DVD/BR player. And I love my Harmony One. So I'd like to use them together, effectively. While cheaper solutions exist, I've decided that I'd rather just cough up the $60 to have a 'complete' solution.

If anyone cares, I'll let you know how it works. Should be here by this weekend.

Peter, the specs on the thing state it can handle with all 51 PS3 commands. Imagine - now you can browse the PlayStation store one handed with a beer in the other. What else are modern gadgets for?

Ok, I noticed Walmart had a Harmony remote the other day, can't remember the model#, I know it was not "The ONE". So my question, are the more affordable Harmonies good, or is "The One" not only a kick ass movie, but a great remote?
