I am looking at buying one of these devices soon so I can have full control of my PS3 with a Logitech Harmony remote. I'm looking for opinions and experiences users have had with both of these devices, whether good or bad. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

The old IR2BT (which I own) stopped working correctly after the PS3 2.4 firmware. The new IR2BT fixes this problem and there is supposed to be a mail back program to get the old units updated. The IR4PS3 didn't have an issue after the firmware update.


The issue is that if you power on they PS3 with IR2BT it will lose sync and not function. If you power on by any other method, such as using the controller or inserting a disc, then the IR2BT functions correctly. Again, the new IR2BT units have fixed this issue and you wouldn't need to be concerned with it unless you were buying used.

Thanks to both of you. Beerstalker I think that thread will probably tell me what I need to know.
