As if setting up a home entertainment system isn’t hard enough with all of the different devices you have to control and remotes that use IR or radio signals or Bluetooth standard, none of which like each other all that much. It’s enough to make even the most ardent technorati roll their eyes and throw up their arms in frustration. Imagine the collective sighs of relief heard ’round the world when Interlink Electronics announced the release of their latest remote control. The Blu-Link Universal Remote Control is targeted directly at those users that have chosen to place their PlayStation 3 at the apex of their high-definition universe and this remote speaks its language.

Interlink Electronics announced today the release of their latest device, the Blu-Link Universal Remote Control for PlayStation 3. Those of us that have been using the PlayStation 3 for its Blu-ray capabilities know the general pain in the ass that Sony has caused by using the Bluetooth standard for their console’s wireless communication protocol of choice.

It gives you the ability to control both IR and Bluetooth devices with the same unit. So why care? Because now you can control your PS3 as well as your other devices with one handy little unit.

The Blu-Link sports some overall pretty useful features. First and foremost is the Control PS3 built-in Bluetooth radio. This is the heart of the device and it’s what gives you control over your PS3 from across the room. You can also control up to five other devices and the unit comes pre-programmed with tons of models of TVs, VCRs, DVD players, DVRs…the list goes on. And if you want to cut your remote control staff to a comfortable few you can even program the Blu-Link to learn codes from other remotes.
