Title: I got an Official Sony DVD Remote Control!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: tomrob on October 23, 2001, 12:17:16 PM
Wuhooo, after all online gamestores had run out of stock, I headed to my local Curry\'s (well 50 miles away). I couldn\'t believe they had four of them on the shelf!! I\'d previously checked Dixons and Comet to no avail. Well the thing works a charm, one bad point, the IR Reciever is massive! Why didn\'t they just make it the same size as a controller plug, then it would match.

I am in UK by the way

It comes with an upgrade for the DVD driver, right?  What\'s it do?  Fix the shift problems for predominantly white scenes?  Improve display?

Yeah it comes with the updated drivers, just pop the cd in, and upload the them onto the memory card, easy. I never had any issue\'s with dvd playback anyway so I don\'t know if it fixes anything. I heard it fixes the Toy Story 2 problems though. Great little remote

That\'s all you have to do? Just pop in the cd and save to the memory card? I thought you had to do someother things also.

I know that it had a problem with double-sided Disney movies before...and now it doesn\'t, but I don\'t know of any other fixes.  I\'m sure there are some good ones.

I got mine about a month ago in NZ. Its easily the best remote out their. Just pop the disk in. load the drivers and your away.

ddaryl - no, i dont think it has those extra PS2 features they mentioned. I thought they said they are releasing 2 versions, one with them and 1 without.

Sounds good.

Does the new drivers stop DVD region X from working ? I don\'t have that but its always handy to know.

Probably won\'t get either products as I don\'t watch that many DVDs.

It did at first, but Datel updated thier codes so now the Region X works fine with the new drivers
