I want one what’s taking so long stop making something for a week and finish it

Wow!! It’s about time. Now I hope that the unit will not cost as much as the remote itself and that it is not something over 30 dollars.

Cannot wait not i will be able to configure my harmony 1000 with this. High fives all around.

This is awesome. I just wish they would set a release date so we know how long we have to wait.

I don’t own the PS3, but many know my name from the Logitech Harmony Remote Forums. In my opinion, it’s great to see a Logitech branded product that will give full control (including power on/off) unlike the Nyko adapter. For those that complained about the Nyko adapter meaning you added another remote to the setup, that’s not true (you would add the adapter to the PS3, but still use the harmony to send the IR signals). Anyway, the price point for this must be $40 or less. The reason I say that, unlike others who gave no reasons, is that the least expensive, reliable, full control adapter that this would be immediately competing with is the IR4PS3, which goes for $40 if my web search was right. That said, you might even be willing to pay a ‘tad’ bit more for the Logitech name. So, in my opinion, if this has an MSRP or $50 or so, it’s about right. I say that, but keep in mind that hardly nothing is in stores at the MSRP. For instance, the Harmony 1100 has an MSRP of $500 and is on amazon for under $390. In short, it has to be in the stores/online for $40 or less. Otherwise the IR4PS3 is still the better alternative.

“We’ll have more information very soon, including pricing and availability. We hope you can wait just a little bit longer!”

I just waited long enough now .

This is in reply to wannabe actuary… actually the ir4ps3 would be about $70, since 40 bucks is for just the base unit, which does not include the parts from the sony bluetooth remote. But, I agree I would be very happy to pay 40 dollars for this simple IR to bluetooth conversion device. I would be less happy to pay 50 dollars, but I would probably still pay for it.

The FCC filings ask that the photos of the unit and owner’s manual be kept confidential until June 15th, so that should give a good indication of minimum time frame we are going to have to wait. Not sure if they will announce it then or release it, but its a date that they asked for a reason.

This is great news, but the other question I have is, is logitech working on a new harmony remote that had bluetooth built into it already, so this adapter wouldnt be needed? So a remote with both IR and BT signals?? Can’t wait for this adapter, but if they were making a newer harmony remote with the BT builtin in already, i might consider skipping the adapter and getting a whole new harmony remote……

I’ve been using Harmony Remotes with PS3′s for over a year now – works great (the IR to BT adapter that is, not the remote!). I chose the PS3IR-Pro from Schmart Stuff. It is a quality build.

I know Schmart Stuff is making a less expensive version of the one I bought. My experience with this device has been great. It has lived up to its reputation. It does one thing, and it does it well.

I use to own several Logitech remotes, keyboards and mice. Before I sent them for recycling, they sat in a couple of boxes marked “defective”. Warranties only last so long, and extended warranties (aka: no-lemon warranty) shouldn’t be required for “quality” products.

I would rather pay $80-$100 for a device that works well and goes un-noticed, than $40 for the same sort of device that fails – in warranty or otherwise, and that’s the mentality of my customers too. That doesn’t mean we want to pay through the nose needlessly, so a balance must be struck. Logitech would be wise to ensure they use quality components and good design, even if it raised the price a few tens of dollars. Demand a quality product, and avoid it if it’s cheaply made. A product like this should cost no less than $50.00 USD$ retail, due to it’s rather limited scope.

I paid $75 for my PS3IR-Pro. Was it worth it? Yes. Any regrets? No. It’s even flash upgradeable, so Schmart Stuff can issue a new firmware update if Sony decides to add a discrete “OFF” command to the PS3′s firmware.

I can see Logitech’s cheap device being popular, but I’ll never install one – I can’t afford to have my installations fail because a buck was saved in design and manufacturing. That is what put us in this mess in the first place.

When it comes to spending thousands of dollars on electronic equipment, what is $100? People waste more than that on “gourmet” interconnect wiring, Monster fibre-optic cable, and Harmony remotes.

I agree 11% $29.95 is a good price point.

Any chance this will work with the Wii, as well?
