The real problem w/ Sony’s PS3 and PlayStation Network (PSN) isn’t the recent security issue. That’s definitely A Problem, but it’s not the network’s biggest. Speed. Last night I wanted to play Gran Turismo 5 (thanks, John!). I haven’t played it since it’s launch, and I’ve finally come to grips that I’m not going to use the expensive steering wheel that I bought for the last Gran Turismo. The wheel’s.. Read More

Pretty much every device I care about in my house is controlled through my Harmony 890: 360, TVs, stereos, lights, my bedroom fan… with one exception. The PS3’s Bluetooth remote was the stumbling block; the 890 speaks infrared and radio frequency, but not Bluetooth. Once I get this thing ($60, available this month!), the PS3 will.. Read More
