IR dongles can't turn the PS3 on or off. And they take up controller slot 1 so you have to re-assign controllers a lot. This is a much better solution.
I don't see why they can't turn the PS on or off. The SIXAXIS controller can turn a PS3 on or off even when its plugged in through a USB cable. There must be the protocols to do it, even if they have to be reverse engineered.
not all ir dondles are ugly, use controller slot 1, or lack on off, like the stupid nyko one.
www.schmartz.com has an attractive $35 solution that i would still pick up over this. but comparing the $50 on/off version and its weird sticker, i would take this bluetooth converter over that if on off were that important to me.

$55 seems a lot when IR dongles cost a lot less than that.
