Bluetooth compatibility.

Look, let's be honest here: The Nyko adapter is a stop-gap. It's a good one, but it's a stop-gap all the same. It responds slowly and it does not have all of the functions the BT remote from Sony has.

And I own the Nyko. I'm not slamming it at all. It does do things that I like.

But the reality is: The PS3, for full functionality, needs a BT-based solution (at least until Sony realizes that built-in IR is not a last-gen technology). For those of us who have spent $250 on our Harmony 880 remotes, this is the answer to properly integrating the PS3 into the activities, etc.

For many folks the Nyko solution will work just fine.

For those of us who want full control over our components from one remote control, this is the answer.
