Holla.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

You already know most of your options. The only other possibility would be (they make similar devices, this is a long shot) an IR/RF to Bluetooth converter where you can use a Logitech Harmony remote. Otherwise, just use your controller.

That's exactly what I'm going to try to do - Harmony remote and all. I had a Harmony remote lying around from a couple of months ago that was meant to be a Christmas gift for my dad, but I just saw some brand new ones on amazon marked down to like $79.99 (originally in the ~$200 range), so I purchased a brand new one for him and opened up the older remote to see what that puppy can do.

Any suggestions on an IR port for the PS3? I've been getting mixed reviews on all of them, with the biggest nuisance being the fact that some automatically take up controller slot 1 when you turn the system on...

How ya doing, buddy?

Wait, now I'm a little confused. I think I probably just have my terminology wrong.

I understand that there is no IR on the actual PS3, so an additional piece of hardware is necessary for the PS3 to read IR signals (which I guess I was calling an IR port). I guess I was wondering what the best IR dongle (receiver) is for the PS3 since I know there is a couple out there, but it sounds like the old PS2 IR receiver might be best, although I was hoping for something a little more ergonomic/pretty.

I was speaking idiomatically.

So no, there is no "easy" way that Sony has provided to sidestep their own products. If you're that concerned with how fashionable your console is, I recommend you go buy yourself some makeup and a dress, as this is hardly something to complain about. Deal with the 1-foot extension on your system.

I mean, if someone pre-ordered it that's basically a sale in their pocket already, so shouldn't they be putting the demo out there for people who are on the fence about it? More so than a day before the freaking game comes out at least.

From my understanding, if you preorder you get a code to try out the demo early. The demo will be available to all when the game comes out.

Has anybody installed some version of linux on their console at all? I heard that there are a couple of emulators out that work fairly decent now, but I guess I just haven’t been paying very good attention to the whole PS3 homebrew scene and don’t know too much about it.

I just installed a 320gb hard drive, and wouldn’t mind playing some old school games on the big screen with a wireless controller…

Jam it back in, in the dark.
