I haven't used this remote, so ignore the star rating above. I am writing just to inform people that this remote only works for newer PS2's: those with an IR receiver between the power button and the eject button. (I had to find this out the hard way, ordering this product only to discover that it was incompatible with the PS2 I had; I figured I should save other people from going through the hassle I did.)

As explained on the package of this remote, it does NOT work with PS2's that have model number SCPH-30001, SCPH-35001 GT, SCPH-30001 R, SCPH-39001, SCPH-39001/N, or SCPH-39010/N. To identify the model number of your system, refer to the label on the system rear or left side panel.

simply put, this is a great product, if it doesnt work with your ps2, its because you have an "old" one. that doesnt make this a bad product. i own own(and a slim ps2) and it works just fine. better than all the reviews i've seen claim.

It is not a false advertisement, it is just meant for the newer models of the Playstation 2 that have a built in IR receiver, which is why it doesn't include it!

Works perfect for the Slim 'new' playstation 2 and makes playing DVDs perfectly easy. As long as your PS2 has a built in receiver, this remote will do the job. Also can double as a wireless controller but I'd leave that up to games that dont have a lot of intense button action. An example is Final Fantasy Tactics. Not really good for fighting games of course. Great product. Came in bulk fashion but was truly new and defintiely a great buy.

This is a perfect example of false advertisement. If you're like the many that i've heard of trying to order a remote for the Playstation 2, Don't order this one unless you have a newer model. The picture shows an IR unit but it doesn't come with one. So save yourself the hassle and don't order this.

This is one of those items for ps2 that's great to have and a pain to not. It's one of those items that all ps2 users wanted badly. Unfortunately, I am one those people that has to wait for prices to get ridiculously low before I can justify getting it. Well, I got one for a pretty low price. It was so low, in fact, that I wasn't expecting a complete package, but I was so wrong. It arrived in less than a week with not only all original components, but also completely in tact and functioning.

This is very convenient for your playstation. It not only works to turn it on when your playstation power button breaks but is also good for viewing DVD's.

This is a great remote, assuming you have the newer PS2 unit that has the infared sending unit already incorporated in your unit. If not, you need to buy the remote that has the adapter unit included with it.

Totally Awesome, thats how i felt when I got the remote, tons of buttons and features, very easy to use - just batteries and shoot, no installion, plug in or memory card required. A must have - avoid the careless wires and long walk across the room for the game control and get this wireless remote, works with both ps2 consule (old and new).

This is an exceptional value. Plug in the reciever and wa la! Use the remote. Personal experience says it can be used to play some games even.
