IR2BT and PS3

[Thraxen]

I don't know how many of you use Harmony's and the like, but there's a new device on sale that converts IR signals to Bluetooth for the PS3. The guy making these sold out of the first 200 units on the first day and today put 300 more up for pre-order. They are going fast. Just a heads up: Link

JPB posted a thread about this a while back... But what's the advantage of this over buying a (cheaper) IR receiver?

This one converts IR to BT... so it can power on and off the PS3. IR receivers can't do that. In addition, this device also understands the commands for every button on the Sony Bluetooth remote. Devices like the Nyko IR receiver don't have all the same commands.

No doubt. His biggest problem right now is that he limited by how many he can make himself. Right now he says he can make and ship about 100/week.

[edit] All 300 are now gone.
