DVD remote from Sony
Posted by @ 4:34 PM, EST
Sony will release a PS2 DVD remote for the Japanese PS2 December 22nd.
The controller allows owners of Japanese PS2s to do basic DVD functions that they couldn't do before, such as program play, shuffle, and repeat, as well as some nice tricks like slow-mo and scanning.
The remote can also be used as a wireless controller to play games
Click here for a picture of the remote.
Thanks to geisen and Famitsu for the information.

I found a Sony website in Japan where they
list a pic of this device (at least as it's
sold in the Japanese market):

http://www.scei.co.jp/ps2/peri.html

The model number for this Japanese unit is
SCPH-10170... It's probably safe to assume
that this base number will stay the same
for the US version as well (although there
might be a /U xxxx after it).

Hope this helps,
Mike

Is Sony even planning on releasing this dvd controller in U.S. and Canada? And if it is, when can we expect it to hit the shelves?
