I think this is too little, too late. While it sounds great, it's not going to give me much more than I have now using the Nyko Blu-Wave remote dongle. As far as I'm concerned, turning on the PS3 from the remote is overrated, because I only use the PS3 for movies and I am going to be switching the movie in my PS3 95% of the time. I can already turn the PS3 off with the Harmony, because there's a menu option in the XMB to power off.
The only thing I'd really be getting with this is the ability to use Yellow/Blue/Red/Green and the Number keys without having to pull up the on-screen menu with Triangle.

At $10 the Blu-wave dongle works for me.
