ONe thing to note is if you want your harmony remote to turn your Wii on, make sure it is a model that has bluetooth. The 550 model does not.

Will it turn on the 360?

I don't own a 360, so I have no idea what it takes to turn it on.

The 360 is IR so yeah the Harmony remotes will turn it on.

Do any of the Harmony ones come with Bluetooth? It'd be nice to turn on and control my PS3 with it.

I think one does, as the software seems to support adding a Wii as one of your components. It has been a bit since i set mine up for the Wii but I am pretty sure it said something along the lines of 'Your model does not support bluetooth' when I tried to add it.

Edit

Cut and paste this from the FAQ of the harmony software:

Quote:
Reference: Can I control my PlayStation 3 (PS3) with a Harmony remote?

This article applies to the following products:

All Harmony models.

The Sony PS3 is not compatible with IR remotes. It uses Bluetooth technology for its own optional remote control. Currently, no universal remotes can control it directly. There are third party attachments available which can be used to control the PS3 with a Harmony remote such as the IR2BT and Nyko BluWave peripherals.
So the answer is appears to be yes, but not unless you buy one of the IR attachments for your PS3.

This article might interest you, Mayer. (Anyone else in the market for a remote control or just interested in what's out there these days might also appreciate it.)
