Too many options, I'm confused

I have the following components:

Fujitsu 50" Plasmavision

XBOX360

PS3

Vudu VOD box

Arcam AVR-250

Any suggestion on what remote to get?

I hear the PS3 can't be controlled because it uses Bluetooth. Anyway around this idiocy on Sony's part?

I use the Nyko Blue-Wave remote ($15) for my PS3. Does everything except power.

For a remote, I use the Harmony One (they have the Nyko codes in their database). I am fairly satisfied with it. I came from Pronto and miss some of the advanced programability, but it scores high on WAF.

So the Harmony sends signals in RF or IR to the BlueWave which then forwards it to the PS3?

Harmony IR to Nyko, NYko sends a USB signal via USB port.

There are more elegant and less limiting fixes available to the Googler. The solution I use is 100% effective - power On and Power Off and all PS3 remote BT controls. (The IR4PS3.)

When Googling these various solutions take particular note of the date of the post - many posts report problems that have subsequently been corrected.
