Title: Official Sony Remote
Post by: Stupid Mop on July 09, 2001, 12:47:04 AM: I saw a picture in a catalogue today for the official Sony Remote. It said it was out at the end of August for $59.99

And thats in New Zealand so porbably sooner most places. $59 in NZ means the remote will likely be about $20 - $25 US.

Plus you get an updated driver disk. I\'m sorry if this has been posted but I had only heard of the disk being a rumor.

the new drivers, 25 bucks isn\'t a bad deal.

......Unlike that hdd..... :)

Post by: AlteredBeast on July 09, 2001, 09:18:50 AM: a remote for 25 bucks? are you joking me? Why would anyone buy it for that much, I would just get the pelican one or something (I just use the controller) if I wanted a remote at all.

BTW, I am back from vacation, anything exciting happen?

also i think thats its a good deal if the controller is of good quality as my mad catz one is a piece of crap if you ask me

well i might get one

Get a satalite remote, or any decent remote, they\'re all in the 25-30$ range. Sony\'s PS2 remote looks profesional and has gotten great reviews.

I have the Pelican remote and it really sux, so I will gladly get Sony\'s (plus the disc helps).

Post by: RamonGTP on July 09, 2001, 06:09:17 PM: I got the Zenith universal remote and that thing is a POS. It works great for my TV, but not with the PS2. It has the passthrough IR port so you can still have your controller hooked. Unfortunatly it doesn\'t to much good since most of the time it won\'t even work with the controller plugged in. The Sony remote looks like a nice piece, $25 isn\'t bad at all... I\'ll probebly be getting it since the only other DVD player I have in the house is on my computer.

I have that one too...it\'s pretty lame. I don\'t know how much more useless it could be for my PS2. Only when I\'m at my laziest does it suit me...
