Default Question about assigning a PS3 Blu-Ray remote from one system to another

Okay, so here's the deal. I currently have the 80GB PS3 system with PS2 compatibility (this was from the Motorstorm bundle) which I've had for almost 2 years.

Not to go into too much boring detail, but when I first got the PS3, it was mainly for Blu-Ray movies. But I've been using it for gaming even more now, and since it's an older model with the compatibility, I've been wanting to get a separate Blu-Ray player for a while to take the extra wear off of this system (plus, I actually have a small SDTV on a cart next to my HDTV... while I use the HDTV when only doing one or the other, sometimes I like to watch a movie on the HDTV while gaming on the SDTV at the same time... which is hard to do when wanting to play a PS3 game and watch a BD movie).

I recently got a free $75 Visa Gift card at work, and decided to get the Slim PS3 for the Blu-Ray player (since it will only cost me $225 of my own money, and I was already considering getting another Dual Shock controller for my current system anyway, which would have been about $50), as opposed to a stand alone., since the PS3 is still overall one of the best Blu-Ray players out there. I've already placed an order on Amazon for it.



So, this is my concern. I currently have the 2 controllers (an older sixaxis and a Dual Shock 3) and a Blu-Ray remote assigned to my current system.

When the new one arrives, I want to assign that new controller to my older system, and assign my existing BD remote to the new slim system.


Now, If I assign the BD remote to the new system, will that UNassociate it with the old one? Both systems will be sitting side by side on the same shelf, and I don't want it turning them both on. I know that the manual states that if I assign a new BD remote to a system, any previous remote will be knocked out, but I don't have a second one (If I have to, I can take my old system to my mom's house, where they have a PS3 as a BD player, and assign their remote to it just to solve this issue, but I'd rather not do that if I don't have to).

Also, will assigning the new Dual Shock controller from the Slim system to my older 80GB system UNassociate it with the slim system? If not, is there a way to do so (this could be more of a problem, as assigning a new controller doesn't knock out the old ones like with the BD remote, so I really don't want one controller turning on 2 systems).

Any help with this would be appreciated!
