PS3 Blu Ray Remote (Do I want it?)

[bhampton]

Hi,

Well,.. After having my PS3 for more then a year now, I just bought the Ps3 Blu Ray Remote today. I had credit a gamestop and was getting tired of waiting for used Blu Rays to come in that I didn't already have and then I got a 10% off coupon via email and suddenly went silly and bought the Remote.

Now,.. I can't figure out if I want to keep it or not. It's new and sealed and I considered trying to trade if for any used Blu Ray that I don't have.

I have been using my Logitech Universal Remote with my PS3 since the day I set it up via a popular work around to the lack of IR problem. (Bought a PS2 remote long ago and PS2 to USB converter.)

So,.. Some one walk me through this,.. What bothers me about the official remote is ... It's not backlit which is critical because I build a dedicated HT and it's pitch black (no windows) when I watch a movie. It doesn't control volume of my AVR which my current solution does. It also doesn't let me turn on and off the projector which my current solution does.

I'm confused... On the one hand I think this is a quality official product that is cool and on the other hand I think it's limitations and short comings are going to piss me off if I try to use it.

So,.. I ask for some advice,... What should I do?

Dazed and Confused,

Brian
