whatever said:
Buy this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000R5H7KE/ref=oss_product It works great for me. |
I have actually two seperate devices to try and get my PS3 to work with my universal remote.
The first one was similar to the one you posted (except it was Nyko) and it was awful. Everytime I pressed a directional button, it though I pressed it twice. I wasn't the only one with that problem either, it was a fairly common thing. Plus, I hate having the dongle sticking out of my PS3 because then I cannot close my entertainment center doors.
The other device I tried was the Logitech BlueTooth device. It started out working like a charm but there was a defect with it if you had a certain manufacturing number, it would screw with your PS3 (I believe it made it so BlueTooth devices didn't connect all the time, I could be wrong though since it has been a while since I thought about it). Long story short-- I had that model and it didn't work.
I'm not trying to sound super negative but I'm just done using third party software to try and get my PS3 to work with my universal remote. I really don't feel like wasting more money on it when I've probably spent close to $100. The PS3 and 360 offer pretty comparable services so I'll just use my 360 for everything I can. With the update my PS3 will be better so when I watch HD movies I will use my PS3 but only until the update hits the 360 (which I assume will be with the Kinect update).
-edit-
And before anyone flips out:
- I don't think the 360 is better at Netflix, I think they're both about the same (well, the PS3 is better until the 360 gets the update).
- I'm not saying all 3rd party devices don't work, I've just had bad luck with them and wasted a lot of money as a result so I'm through with them.
- Don't let me rant take away that this is an awesome update! You get surround sound and you don't have to use the disc!
