I don't understand Sony's decision to not include the IR receiver in the PS3. To me, it was just stupid. How much could an IR receiver actually cost (considering they are mass produced and included in every other Sony A/V unit let alone in $15 devices from other vendors)? I think, in the future Bluetooth could replace IR for home theater use but right now, it's way too early to abandon IR-- heck, I bet all upcoming Sony A/V devices will have IR and no Bluetooth at all.

I know there are Bluetooth sniffer products available so creating a device that receives IR and transmits Bluetooth shouldn't be that difficult. Also, I'm sure some engineer could crack open the Sony Bluetooth remote and decipher the signals as well.
