I have the Harmony 880 remote, and it works incredibly well. Also, with a workaround it is compatible with the PS3.
Nyko makes the Blu Wave remote, which is a cheap IR remote for the PS3. Since it is infa-red, and the PS3 doesn't have an IR port, the Nyko remote comes with an IR dongle that plugs into one of the PS3's USB ports. The Harmony remotes can easily learn the commands from the Nyko remote, it only took me 5 minutes to program. Now, the Harmony remote controls all of my PS3 functions except for the PS3 button, which isn't necessary.
The Nyko remote is on sale for only $14 at Amazon.com, and it's well worth it to gain an IR port for the PS3. Now, I can control my entire system again with just one remote control.
