I have used a Logitech Harmony One universal remote for my home theater since it launched. The first thing I wished for after setting the remote up was that it could work my PS3 as well. Unfortunately, thanks to Sony going for Bluetooth control for the PS3 that meant using a normal IR remote was out of the question.
