bottom line, if you can live with the lack of ps3 power-on functionality on your universal remote, this product is a good choice.
from www.amazon.com
thanks to a previous reviewer who took the time to explain how to teach this remote's functions to a harmony remote, i was able to get it up and running with my home theater in no time.
from www.amazon.com
all though it emulates all functions of the sixaxis controller, it is primarily useful if you want to use it as a remote to watch your blu-ray movies.
from www.amazon.com
however, since my practice is to insert a disc when i power things up and eject it afterwards, it's not a problem for me to perform those functions manually.
from www.amazon.com
the only issue i have with it is that it doesn't have a power off or eject function.
