Gadgets are good. That's a rule for life, isn't it? Well, we're not sure about this one. According to the manufacturer, Audio Authority: "The device, which is called the BlueBeam IR to Bluetooth converter, acts as a bridge between the remote control and the gaming console. Once connected, consumers can operate all their home theatre gear using just one remote instead of having to use a separate Bluetooth device for the PS3."
It is "powered by an optional powerpack, USB connection, or included AA batteries, and sits within 30 feet of the PS3. The tiny unit (it's just over 3" in size) can receive IR signals from any universal remote, than converts them to Bluetooth commands."
It's aimed at people who use the PS3 as a media centre and don't want to be bothered with the PS3 controller - or the optional Blu-ray remote.
