Too embarrassed to get out your PlayStation SIXAXIS controller when friends come around to watch a Blu-ray movie? Logitech announce the Harmony remote Adaptor for PlayStation 3.
Logitech is carving out a niche market for itself in remote-control consolidation, with the Harmony range.
But consolidation is only part of the story when it comes to living room technology. The other part is style, and for Sony and their push to have the PlayStation 3 considered an entertainment hub, the control of media functionality has always been an issue.
Face it, it is basically embarrassing to pull out a game controller to flip through Blu-ray menus and get the film up and running.
Enter the Logitech Harmony adapter for PS3.
Logitech give us a their words on the matter:
