Currently officially priced at $59.99 this'll be snapped up quickly I should imagine. Hopefully we see this over here shortly rather than having to import as usual.

Oooooo I presume it will work with any IR Controller..... just need the kit and the Codes

I wonder how long until it reaches the UK Shores via Amazon & Play etc ??

[Smackos]

Presumably so mate, think it's what a lot of the AV crowd have been waiting for. Next couple of months you'd hope at least. Although you can probably change that to £ and add on another 10 quid I should imagine..

Amazon.com won't ship this to the UK. It will be mine oh yes it will be mine.

I wonder if the 'internet exchange rate' will kick into action because as of 13/05/09 $59.99 = £39.17, which is not bad however I can see this going for £59.99.

Cycnical moi?

40-50 pound for a device that need to be plugged in aswell as being very unsitely , Im just glad I bought this for 20 and you don't even know its there when in the USB port:

Ahh that may be so but your device doesn't allow power on and off, does it?

[Max Payne]

Ahh, yes that is true but at least it turns it to standby and that is good enough for me.

The last thing I want is another little box to power and then have a wire coming out of my playstation - just to get the power to go off (and pay double for the privilege). Also the box from Harmony won't actually sit right on top of the playstation, so its going to be out of place and look out of place.

I love the look of the IRX31 that I have and it works flawlessly with my Harmony 1000.

I've got to admit the majority of the time my Ps 3 is left on standby simply because I hook my psp up to it when I'm out and about at work etc. Your right about the look of that harmony adaptor, with the ps 3's curved top it's not exactly a joy to mount things on.

That looks a great little IRX31 looks great Max

I love the look of the Logitech but with it's size the X31 fits the bill even better for me !!!!!

have you had it long?? I presume the IR Codes copy in OK ??

I only have it a month or so, but its perfect. The codes are just perfect, the harmony software actually see's it as the XR31 and it works aswell as the PS3 remote. I definitely recommend it.

[Dark Knight]

Sounds like the right one for me then - THANKS Max

[Smackos]

Can I ask where you got yours from Max?

[Max Payne]

Sure no problem, I actually got it from the main site here:


Delivery was in about 4 days if I remember rightly and came in very good packaging.

Here is a screenshot of how it comes up on the harmony menu:
Its on the list of devices as it listed as: "schmartz ps3 irx1" when setting up and then is listed as "Games console with DVD"

[Smackos]

Lovely mate, the lack of PS 3 support from Logitech has been the one thing that's held me back from getting myself a Harmony remote sorted. I knew that there was this type of thing floating around but when I heard that it "couldn't turn on/off the console" I thought it literally mean't you couldn't turn it to standby and back.. thought what's the point in having that then..! This'd probably do me just fine 95% of the time..

I seemed to have missed where you can buy these from.

If someone would be kind enough to let me know, that would be great!
