In case you like to think of yourself as a tech afficionado you’ll probably need this to keep up with the time. Let me introduce you to the Logitech Harmony® One Advanced Universal Remote. After you use this bad boy you’ll never return to the remote you once knew. It’s an all in one universal remote that does everything your heart desires. Mine currently links up my PS3, Wii, X-Box, DV-R, Apple TV and surround sound speakers.

What makes it truly amazing is that it thinks for you. You ever accidentally end up with a blank screen with your speakers still playing the closing credits from the dvd you just watched? I totally have, but instead of having to get up and check out what went wrong all you have to do is press the help button and the remote will resync everything for you. Pretty nifty, huh?
The down side is that this thing will cost you $250.00, which is a lot of money, but if it’s the last remote you ever buy, then what’s the big deal. And ladies, this is the perfect remote to get your man. He’s yours and he deserves the best, right?

Um, just for the record, this remote (nor any of the Harmony remotes and others like it) support the Wii. The Wii does not have an IR receiver for accepting input which is required for these “types” of remotes to control a device.
You are able to use the remote to change the TV/AV inputs to what you have your Wii connected to. That’s it. I know this, because I own a few Harmony remotes and none of them support the Wii. 360, yes, but only through the IR receiver on the front of the box.
