I've got mine, using it with my ps2 slimline. They dont make em like they used to!

I bought this!

I've got mine. My PS2 was my de facto DVD player so buying a remote made sense

We had one but never used it. Came with a ps2 my dad bought off his friend

The controllers had cords so this was useful as a remote for using the DVD player

Wonder if its better than the ps5 remote. Got it only a month ago and shit won't turn on anymore, i think its due to Bluetooth traffic or something
JediChris8585 t1_j6koko9 wrote
I definitely did. The PS2 worked great as a dvd player and the remote was far easier to use than the controller. The remote was also wireless like any tv remote and the controller was not.

I had one but I seem to remember mine being of a different format. I thought it was a bit slimmer but longer.
Maybe I'm misremembering because it was a looong time ago
Edit nah it was the same remote it's coming back to me now after looking at some more pictures.

logitech made the best wireless PS2 controllers. however with the PS2 you couldn't turn it on or off with the controller. you could with this remote control.

Its the reason i have the OG PS2.

It’s not a bad idea. Having more focus on the inputs instead of the DVD options would have been better though. I heard that back in the day some hotels had TV/DVD/PS2’s, and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if this was their remote.

I had one, easier to use for my brother who has limited use of one hand.

I have one that my mom bought for me when I was a kid. I don't think I ever used it though lol.

Still have one of these, I watched a lot of movies on my PS2.

I thought mine was slimmer and longer too actually

My ps2 was my first DVD player. I had this remote. First 2 dvds were A Knight's Tale and Tomb Raider. Good times.
Lupreon t1_j6mimxt wrote
I also got one but I have an older version of the PS2 and it's not compatible

Does it work on the PS5?

I believe the PlayStation 3 remote was the skinny long one, but it has been decades so I may be misremembering.
Auth3nticRory t1_j6mv5vd wrote
Yea. It was def ps2 because I was excited about the dvd player aspect of it. There was a little IR sensor you plugged into the controller port. It’s been so long so I guess that’s it and my mind is just messing with me.
king_27 t1_j6n6wb9 wrote
I had one and I definitely remember it being slimmer and longer. Maybe a regional thing? Got mine in South Africa.
Edit: actually seeing another comment mentioning the PS3 one being slimmer and longer I'm starting to wonder if that's the one I had.

I bought a Sony Bravia TV the same day I got my PS3. Come to find out, as they're both Sony products, the TV remote controlled the PS3 too.
So while I never had a PS remote, damn, thing is handy.

Still have it,along with a fat,modded PS2.Tried to game with it,but you can only push one button at a time.Not so great with Gran Turismo,lol.
Soul_Script_Exo t1_j6o5hy6 wrote
I don't know how I should feel about this. Should I feel comfortable since we have the Wii remote or concerned that this never showed up in my life as a kid.
silver2k5 t1_j6ob2l2 wrote
Dude, if you have the Sony playstation TV it is actually still a really solid monitor.
blueboyatecheese OP t1_j6kc3nw wrote
Just curious. How many people bought this remote?
