Playstation 3 Blu Wave Remote:

Great product that makes Blu Ray DVD playing very simple. Works out of the box.
It allows playing all Blu Ray DVD's on my 1080p HDTV.

Not bad - but why go backwards in technology?:

Truthfully, this remote does what it says it does, and it isn't a horrible solution to playing movies on the PS3. The "issue" is that there is a *much* better solution: Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Disc Remote. Bluetooth so you don't need to worry about line-of-sight, intuitive for a no-brainer out of the box experience, and designed by Sony specifically for the PS3 so absolutely no issues. Returned the Blu-Wave remote, got the BlueTooth remote, never been happier.

No extra functionality:

The most critical thing you need to know about this remote is that, unlike the Sony Bluetooth remote, or a real ir to bluetooth solution, it doesn't offer any functionality that the game controller doesn't give you. In fact, it offers less - as it has no PS button, and can't power off the PS3.
That said, this is probably the cheapest solution to let you get some control with a universal remote - but it only offers you 16 functions. The Sony bluetooth remote is about $10 more, and offers 51 functions.... more info

Easy set up. Got it to work with Logitech Harmony remote to control PS3. Works great. It won't turn PS3 on and off but you have to put in a disc anyway so turn it on while you're there!
