Failed logic. It was MUCH easier for Sony to support IR than harmony to implement BD for ONE component. Sony is the one to blame here, not Harmony or other uni-control makers. I could understand if there were several CE products on the market that have adopted BD, but there are no others worth the trouble. Sony should release an official IR sensor that supports all the controls that the BD remote does... or update the PS3 firmware to support HDMI-CEC (Bravia Theatre-Sync) so that my TV or receiver can control the playback via the HDMI connection. Problem solved without unnecessary purchase of a new remote.
