Why would anyone tailor their remote to just one IR-less device? Sony is the one that dropped the ball, here, by not conforming to the home theater standard.
It may be Sony's (and Nintendo's, by the way) fault originally, but since I can't buy a PS3 (or Wii) without bluetooth, it becomes Logitech's headache now. I have the 880, but I won't replace it with ANYTHING unless it has bluetooth support. The whole point of having a Universal Remote is to control everything with one remote. If I can't do that, then what's the point of having one?

Having played with this remote, I just have to say...wow!
Logitech finally did their homework and got it right. They finally designed a remote that was comfortable and easy to use by feel.
The 880 is a piece of garbage compared to this remote.

Yeah, but does it have Bluetooth to work with the PS3? Yeah, I didn't think so. Try again next year, Logitech.
