  • "Only partly right - can't turn PS3 on, CAN turn it off"

    Pros: Basically everything they said in the review -- this simply works.

    The review is wrong in one area, however -- you CAN use this remote to turn off your PS3. You must navigate through the PS3's menu to get to the option to turn it off, but it works.

    Cons: It won't power on the PS3, as described in the review.

    You have to be careful that there are no obstructions in front of the PS3 -- or at least the dongle. If your PS3 is standing vertically, that's no problem, but it might be if you have it flat.

    Summary: Works well for what it's marketed as, both with the included remote and with a universal remote. I gave in and bought a Harmony universal remote for other reasons, and it handled this well.

    This is almost exclusively useful as a DVD/Blu-Ray remote -- you won't be playing games with it for the most part.
