PS3 IR Remote Control at Last

When we finally got our hands on our very own PlayStation 3 earlier
this
year, we were surprised and annoyed to find Sony hadn't included a built
in infrared receiver. The oficial Sony remote control (an optional extra)
is a bluethooth device, and while ordinarily we'd welcome an RF option, it
seems very short sighted not to also have included the option of using IR.
Sony wants to position the PS3 as a "media hub" in the living
room, and
with its HDMI and Bluray credentials many owners use their PS3s in their
home cinema setupy. Now, we can all use our IR universal remotes to
control our PS3s, thanks to this new $20 Blu-Wave Infrared Remote addon
from Nyko...
