Sadly, not the answer.
Date:December 3, 2012
I purchased this unit to solve a problem, but created more.
Although the Harmony did control my son's PS3, it interfered with our Sony Home Theatre Tuner/Amp and our PVR. After installation the Tuner/Amp sound sometimes would not produce sound when in TV mode. Also, with the PVR (not Sony) TV channels would intermittently not change, or change and skip programmed channels, or not change for 45 seconds. Frustrating!
I took the Harmony back and bought the Sony PS3 remote and now everything works as it should.
Luckily our Logitech 650 still is a great universal remote, just can't recommend the Harmony.

Powers Off

This is a great product. It allows you to control your PS3 just like you were using the manufacturer's remote. It also allows you to switch back and forth between watching cable and also playing a DVD. Quality stuff.
The issue I have is the fact that after about 12 months the product won't stay on. The green light at the top shuts off and therefore can't communicate with the PS3. This is dissapointing for a $60 purchase. If I remove the power cord for a few seconds and plug it back in, it powers up without an issue and controls the PS3 but quickly shuts off again. Warrantly is only for 12 months as well which is even more dissapointing.
Quality / durability is an issue.

good while it works
Date:October 30, 2012
Just like many others, I felt this device worked perfectly at first. Soon, though, I found the power supply failing at around 18 months. The light would come on and the adapter would work sporadically. Out of warranty, the idea of having to purchase an entirely new adapter every 18 months makes me sick to my stomach, as others have likewise said. The adapter uses a combination of plug size and current/voltage, that prevents the usage of off-the-shelf AC adapters. By far, this device is the lowest quality of my entire home theater set up (all other devices - I have more than two dozen - are still working at 2-8 years). If only I didn't also have a logitech google TV that crashes once per week... :( I used to like logitech.

Works Well
Date:February 21, 2011
Allows the Harmony remote to control the Blue Ray features in the PS3. I use it most to switch between watching tv and playing a game. All I have to do is hit "Activities" "Play PS3" and pick up a controller. The cable box turns off, the TV switches to the HDMI input for the PS3 and the PS3 turns on. When I'm done I hit "Activities" "Watch TV" and everything goes back to where I was before. I paid $60 at BB, because I was buying the remote there, but I've seen them $20.00 cheaper online.

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!! Like they say, it just works!
Date:January 7, 2011
I have been waiting 5 years for a RF/Bluetooth interface that would work with my Harmony, now Logitech Harmony remote. This is the adapter that finally does it. It assigns it to controller ID 7 so it doesn't interfere with your 1-4 gaming controllers. I can control everything. Toggle power, navigate all the menus, ect.
A note to other users, as mentioned in the manual and help knowledge base, if you already have the PS3 setup as a device in your setup, you have to delete the device and add it back in to pick up the new software options that controls the PS3. After I did that, everything works as expected.
Linking the adapter to the PS3 only takes seconds.
I can't tell you how many times I accidentally knocked the PS3 controller off the couch arm when we were watching movies to have one of the trigger buttons advance the movie. No more, I can now leave my PS3 controller on the desk, and enjoy watching movies with only one remote. Thank you Logitech for making this solution. I've never been more excited to watch a BR on my PS3 since I got this little adapter.

Note for Harmony 900 RF users
Date:January 2, 2011
One thing not clearly mentioned by the Logitech literature: If you are using a Harmony 900 RF remote with components hidden in a closet, you must use the PS3 adapter IN ADDITION to the RF adapter that came with your remote. It does NOT REPLACE the adapter that came with your remote. It appears that it needs the original adapter to pickup the RF and then it re-broadcasts the IR to the new adapter. The PS3 adapter then picks up that IR signal and re-broadcasts it as a Bluetooth signal to the PS3. Simple enough, but some people may think they can replace the old adapter with the new one. This is not the case, you need both adapters working together.
Other than this initial setup issue, the adapter works great! We love needing only one remote for all of our devices.

Works with URC
Date:November 25, 2010
I have been having trouble with functionality of the NYKO remote for PS3 and the mrx5000. I can tell you that since installing the harmony ps3 expansion unit my control problems have almost all gone away. I still have a glitch that causes double jumps on one click, but In think that is URC's problem. Good Job!

Goodbye coffee table remotes!
from Bogota, NJ
Expertise: Proficient User
Awesome product!
Date:October 14, 2010
I recently purchased a Harmony 650 remote to consolidate 4 coffee table remotes (1 being my PS3 remote) into 1. After attempting to set up my Harmony remote (it wasn't working properly and not operating my PS3) I called Logitechs awesome customer service for some help setting up my remote and they identified that I had an early level (the larger one) PS3 and the PS3 adapter was needed. I ordered it, had it shipped overnight, and with some help from Logitechs AWESOME customer service we had it up and running in about 20 minutes! AWESOME product! completely satisfied! and kudos to Logitechs AWESOME customer service!

It Works!
Date:August 25, 2010
Very easy to install and update my remotes. Love seeing the PS3 icons on my Harmony One display screen
One glitch in the set up instructions is no mention of pairing the device with the PS3 on the online set up. I would suggest that this step be included.

Love this thing!
Date:January 8, 2010
I have had a couple of harmony remotes, the 670 and most recently the 700. But I have always had to use the PS3 controller for watching blurays, using the media Server (Playon, Tversity) on the PS3. I recently purchased this adapter, and couldn' t be more satisfied with it!! Performs all PS3 functions, and really shines when it comes to the Playon/Tversity/Netflix use. I also use it alot to navigate my 300 gig collection of music MP3 on my network that I access via my PS3. Was super simple to install and configure, no problems what so ever. You just pair it to the PS3. Turns on/off the PS3 no problems, also controls all other functions. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to eliminate the use of the PS3 controller

Response from Logitech:By Gaming Team, Gaming, December 21, 2009
Some users of the Harmony Adapter for PS3 experienced Bluetooth connection problems when using early production adapters, Sony game controllers and PS3 Slim systems. These issues were addressed and the currently available adapter units are working as expected. If you previously purchased the product and are experience similar issues, more information and online support can be found at http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/logitech_en_amr.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=13885

expensive, but it works
Date:September 17, 2009
forking over $45-$60 for something that should work anyway on a PS3 really chaps my hide, but I paid for it anyway.
I hooked it up tonight with my new PS3 slim and it worked flawlessly with my controller. I haven't had any of the problems mentioned by other recent reviewers. I played Little Big Planet for an hour and the controller responded fine to my commands.

PS3+movie watching=made easy
Date:September 16, 2009
I currently have an 80 PS3 std and the harmony ONE remote. I needed something to bring it all together. Logitech to the rescue. This product is great. Very easy to use. I've done 3 update one the PS3 and every time this product works with out fail! It is very small, fit anywhere and doesn’t take up any usb ports. Turn it off and ON! Just like the ps3 remotes. Kind of wish it ran off of batteries, and the price is a little high.

This RF to Bluetooth adapter is GREAT
Date:September 13, 2009
I have had a 40 gig PS3 for about a year and a half and use it as a Blu-ray disc player exclusively. Until I got the Logitech Harmony IR to Bluetooth Adapter for PS3 I had been driven crazy trying to find a way to control my PS3. I use a Harmony 659 remote to control all of my components. I had been using a Nyko USB adapter with my 659 but it wouldn't allow me to move between icons accurately, either in the XMB or Triangle menu. Further, it would not allow me to turn on the PS3 remotely or turn it off when changing the activity from Watch PS3 to another one. This adapter, though, solves all that. Highly recommended!
I can't address whether the Logitech Harmony adapter affects the game controller because I don't have to use the game controller any longer. Further, I have had no problems with the pairing of the adapter and the PS3. I paired them when I setup the adapter, three weeks ago, and they have stayed paired ever since.

Problems!
Date:September 9, 2009
While I want to give it 5 stars, the truth is that there is something wrong with this device, and it needs to be corrected. After hooking up the adapter, I am now frequently unable to use my controllers flawlessly the way I used to, and it often unpairs itself from my console, forcing me to set it up again. Without a usb connection, I fear that there is no way to flash its firmware.
