obviously its next to useless if it ONLY supports the ps3 (and IR devices) but blutooth will hopefully replace IR as the remote standard.
it has its cons, most notably the massive amount of power it draws compared to IR, and also you have to ‘mate’ it. but hopefully these can be ironed out.
as the advantages of range, and lack of need for line of sight are well worth it.
(to be honest tho, I think a different wireless standard could be developed that gives you the benefits without the cons.)

Is always good not to have to have the PS3 remote pointed in one direction
