I don’t know about you, but I’m not really ready to shell out a few hundred bucks to buy a universal remote that supports the PS3. Logitech’s Harmony series remotes are really nice, but if you want PS3 support, you’ll have to buy a special infrared adapter on top of the remotes to make them work with your setup.

Fortunately, you won’t have to do that anymore, thanks to SMK-Link, a U.S. hardware manufacturer that specializes in remotes of all kinds. At $50, The Blu-Link PS3 Universal Remote supports both Bluetooth and infrared devices. That’s pretty cheap considering that harmony remotes cost from $60 to $500, and that you’ll have to pay another extra $60 for the special adapter if you want to make them work with the PS3.
