    Official Playstation 3 Blu-Ray player Thread

    I received my bluetooth to IR converter in the mail yesterday when I got home. I installed it in about a minute and my Harmony can now control the PS3 fully. Thank god :) The controller now stays by the PS3 only to be used for games.

    ok this sounds exactly like what happened to me. I will shut off the controller from now on. Thank you! As a side note, is it harmful to leave the PS3 always on?

    Thinking of making the jump to Blu Ray but have question

    Not a big issue for me. There is no way my ears could ever tell the difference between DTS and dolby true HD. My eyes are good but my ears suck.

    Thinking of making the jump to Blu Ray but have question
