"Converters 1, 2 and 3 are all pretty expensive (but we won't list the prices) but do everything you need, while the $20 converter that everyone knows about won't turn the system on or off."]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Grapist]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 25th 2008 7:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Infrared-to-Bluetooth converter roundup: get universal control of your PS3]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/infrared-to-bluetooth-converter-roundup-get-universal-control-o/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/infrared-to-bluetooth-converter-roundup-get-universal-control-o/</guid><description><![CDATA[A IR/Bluetooth universal pro remote would be big nice]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[img eL]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 25th 2008 7:59AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Infrared-to-Bluetooth converter roundup: get universal control of your PS3]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/infrared-to-bluetooth-converter-roundup-get-universal-control-o/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/infrared-to-bluetooth-converter-roundup-get-universal-control-o/</guid><description><![CDATA[What company in their right mind would make a Universal remote that Supports Blue Tooth, just for the 1 and ONLY device that uses is because Sony was to cheap to throw on IR and instead use something it already had!  If it was so great, How come not even SONY has release any other hardware including stand alone Blu-Ray Players that use it or at least support it along with IR?!?!?!   To me it was s huge Sony BooBoo and the #2 reason why I haven't gotten a PS3, nor will I spend extra money to buy one of these work around hacks to fix Sony's stupid move.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JBDragon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 25th 2008 11:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Infrared-to-Bluetooth converter roundup: get universal control of your PS3]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/infrared-to-bluetooth-converter-roundup-get-universal-control-o/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/infrared-to-bluetooth-converter-roundup-get-universal-control-o/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've been using the Nyko adapter for aver a year now and have been mostly happy with it. Not being able to power up the system really isn't that big of a downside; you have to walk up to the PS3 to insert your movie anyway and when you do, the system powers itself up.<br><br>The biggest downside which I didn't see mentioned is when you want to play games, if you power up the system by pressing the PS button on a controller, the Nyko gets assigned as controller one, and the one you powered up from gets assigned as number two, meaning that when you start a game, you'll always have to go in and reassign the control number.<br><br>BTW, I didn't have to do any "learning" with my Harmony 880 remote. The codes were already available when I programmed the remote.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cheesehead Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 25th 2008 8:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Infrared-to-Bluetooth converter roundup: get universal control of your PS3]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/infrared-to-bluetooth-converter-roundup-get-universal-control-o/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/infrared-to-bluetooth-converter-roundup-get-universal-control-o/</guid><description><![CDATA[I wish I could find out how to get the discrete BT commands that sony uses.  If my laptop has an IR reciever, and it also has bluetooth, why cant I just route the remote through my laptop if a program is running.   Or use my laptop as a remote if its on the couch with me.  And why the hell doesn't my laptop allow itself to be a human interface device either so I can use its keyboard and trackball to type in my PS3.<br><br>I could go on for hours with this.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[S4Rs]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 25th 2008 8:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Infrared-to-Bluetooth converter roundup: get universal control of your PS3]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/infrared-to-bluetooth-converter-roundup-get-universal-control-o/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/infrared-to-bluetooth-converter-roundup-get-universal-control-o/</guid><description><![CDATA[Good points]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[img eL]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 25th 2008 8:57AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Infrared-to-Bluetooth converter roundup: get universal control of your PS3]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/infrared-to-bluetooth-converter-roundup-get-universal-control-o/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/25/infrared-to-bluetooth-converter-roundup-get-universal-control-o/</guid><description><![CDATA[How about my Moto Q smartphone too.
