Good solution for PS3 if you depend on a universal remote!

(Review From Amazon)
General Comments:
Works great, but remember it won't give you on/off power or disc eject control. It controls everything else you'd need. Nice remote, it has a quality feel to it, especially when considering the reasonable price. Unfortunately I'll only be using the remote for reprograming my universal, if needed. This product made the difference in my buying decision of the PS3 over the stand alone Blue Ray player. Even with all the extras the PS3 offered for the same price the lack of IR control for my home theater had me leaning toward the stand alone player. Once I discovered this product it was a no brainer.

My Harmony 676 now controls the PS3

(Review From Amazon)
General Comments:
After having used a Harmony 676 to control all my devices, I was not happy when I needed to use the PS3 controller to control Blu Ray movie watching.

This remote's dongle does the job in letting my Harmony 676 control the PS3. There was one problem that almost led me to return the remote however, and I wanted to mention the solution here.

Problem (for Harmony remotes):
On the PS3 XMB (Cross Media Bar), the directional buttons would move the selection several spots for each key press. I read several posts and tried teaching & re-teaching the Harmony. I tried teaching using the "Raw" IR learning but that would slow down the response from the PS3 to each key press.

Solution:
Within the Harmony program, go to Devices->PS3 and select "troubleshoot" under device options.
Select "Show me more problems" (last choice).
Then select the choice "PS3 doesn't appear to receive every command correctly," and the select "The device responds too much to some commands (for example, volume up increases the volume too quickly)."
In the screen with the radio buttons, select '0'.
Save & update the remote and everything the directional buttons will work perfectly.
