What are the major differences between the two? I want to buy one but can't choose which one would be better for me. I an HD-DVD player, cable box, receiver, Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360 and a PS3 which is the Blu-Ray player.

Opinions please?

I beleive the only difference between the two is that the 890 has RF capability.

BTW, look carefullly on what you have to do to get either to work with your PS3.

Where do I find something like that because that's important to me with the PS3

For all info and FAQs (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=654853).

Be aware that Harmony just announced the replacement for the 880. It is discussed in the Official Logitech Harmony One thread (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=967841). There's no RF version yet, but that is in the works.

Essentially an IR USB Dongle that translates IR into Blu-Tooth to allow universal IR remotes to control the PS3 during BD/DVD playback. Works great!
