As per your advice, I was looking at powered splitters with mentions of Blu-ray and PS3 and came across this one:

SANOXY HDMI 1x2 3D splitter v1.3 HDCP 2 ports swither 3 4 5 8 PS3 XBOX360 DVD Blu-ray
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UYOEMI/

Comments about it's construction:

"However, I received the newer plastic-cased version of the product and it has met/exceeded my expectations."

"I did not receiver the metal cased, square edged version. My was made out of cheap plastic and had rounded corners. ... I was only able to get it working a few times, and never consistently. Not worth the hassle to return."

Comments about it's operation:

"They do not advertise that this baby bypasses HDCP protection ... But to my surpirse if I use this with my PS3 HDCP protection does not work, allowing me to stream and capture ps3 gameplay from HDMI."

"I found that my older model splitter did NOT transfer or split the signal from my new blu-ray. ... So, I purchase a [this] splitter labeled for "Blu-Ray"...it did not function either."

"This splitter does not support 3D like it says."

"Tried 3D and worked beautifully."

There are over 100 comments with most being either 1 or 5 stars -- an indication of problem construction / quality control / outright different product.

At your mentioned new link, there are no comments at all. Curious. And this one doesn't mention Blu-ray / PS3. Do you have it's original listing with comments to determine it's quality control?
