Video Game Reviews of PlayStation 3 Blu Wave Remote
Customer Review: EXCELLENT UNIVERSAL REMOTE SOLUTION 4 PS3
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a recurring dream where I punch Sony's CEO in the face for not integrating IR along with Bluetooth in the gaming console that set me back $500. I usually wake up covered in sweat and with a curious throbbing in my left hand. Luckily, there is a real world solution for the frustration universal remote owners feel when faced with the PS3 Bluetooth problem. The Nyko Blu Wave.
I use a Harmony remote to control my entertainment system and with the Blu Wave, the setup couldn't have been easier. The Harmony software actually recognized the remote under the 'video game (with dvd) listing and with a few minor adjustments [minor compared to other devices I've had to program into it], I couldn't be happier. The only down side is there's no power button, but since I usually have to get up to change discs anyway, this really isn't a big problem for me.
One reviewer complained about the PS3 assigning the remote as controller 1 when it's powered on. This is a small inconvenience if you want to play Metal Gear Solid instead of watching a movie. Most, if not all, games require the controller you use to be assigned as No. 1, but this can be easily fixed. Simply hold in the PS button on the controller you want to use for the game and a menu pops up on the screen. Select 'controller settings' and then 'reassign the controller' and then switch it to number one. Voila! Now you don't have to constantly unplug the dongle when you want to play a game.
