I have not purchased one yet...
But unless I can find a source for the "Disney Pirate" movies in HD-DVD... [many "Blue" only in the US discs can be imported in HD-DVD format]
It looks like I will have to also get a "Blue" player...
and most likely it will be a PS-3
Can this device use IR remotes like the JP-1 remotes?

The PS3's out now can not. They have no ir sensor. The ps3 remote that's out is bluetooth. Makes no sense to me why Sony wouldn't put a $0.10 ir sensor in there if they want the PS3 to be the HT package that they seem to. |

There is a thread over at AVS somewhere where people have found a work around for this, but I can't find it right now. _________________ Rob

Thanks for the links!...
Too bad that somebody does not make an 'IR' to 'B-Tooth' set top box like you can get for X-10 devices "IR" to "X10-RF"

They will eventually, the PS3 is just too new for one to exist yet. _________________ Rob

I started a thread in the code search area as it looks like I might have to purchase a BlueRay player to keep my wife happy.. {have a Toshiba A20 HD-DVD} and the best deal is the PS3.. only to find that the PS3 currenly does not support IR...
But the PS3 has USB port and I have seen a number of:
USB to IrDA Adapter's for PC's
They seem to be low priced for under $10 at many places.
Anybody here with a PS3 tested one of these devices or read of anybody testing??

It is so they can sell their bluetooth remote, at least for a while. |

Well, I've ordered the Nyko IR remote adaptor for the PS3 (from Amazon).
I expect to have it in a week or so (took the cheap shipping). I hope to be able to post an upgrade file shortly afterwards.
From all of my research, it seems that I won't be able to remote-power on the unit, but I can live with that as long as it means not having to watch BluRay movies with the game controller! _________________ TiVo FREAK!

Herbie,
Were you able to program your Nyko BluWave IR remote for the ps3?
I got mine this week. I taught it the basic commands and then ran out of memory on my 9910. Other than that it works great for watching blu-ray movies on the ps3.
Does anybody have a compete upgrade file or would be interested in creating one if I was to mail you the remote?
Thanks
Pablo M |
