Always Buy From The Maker, June 19, 2003
If you want a DVD Remote, always, ALWAYS buy it from Sony. Not only will an off-brand remote (or anything else) possibly break down your system, but it's hardly even worth it (price-wise).My mother bought me this one to go with my PS2 for it's price because the guy at Target told her that it didn't matter which kind you buy. I thought I'd at least give it a try, knowing that it probably wouldn't work. Sure enough, after getting everything plugged in and such, nothing worked correctly. Some of the buttons didn't work at all, while some of them did work sometimes. My DVD was stuck playing and every time I pressed something it said something about not being able to read the command. After about an hour and a half of messing with it, I still couldn't get it to work. Frustrated, I threw down the remote and used the controller. About half-way through my movie, the DVD stopped itself and started over. I tried this numerous times, but after a shorter and shorter time, it would stop itself and start over. It took me a little while to realize that this DVD remote was still connected to the PS2. I took it out, and amazingly the DVD worked fine. Now, I'm bothered that perhaps my PS2 got some kind of internal damage that just hasn't shown up yet. DO NOT buy this, despite it being a few dollars cheaper than the brand name. I'm not sure if I just got a broken one or what, but I wouldn't take the chance. Off-brand things should never be trusted until tested. And this has been tested. Do not trust.
