The PS3 is controlled by bluetooth, and the Harmony remotes are IR (or RF), which are not compatable.

Is there something different with the 890 that I am not aware of?

I have a 670 controlling all of my equipment, and it does control my PS3 after I purchased the Blu-Wave remote (though will not power on/off the unit). I've been considering upgrading to the 890 for the better LCD screen and more logical button placement.

The 890 is RF if im not mistaken
