You add the little control stick, nunchuck-style. And, for the picky unadventrous people, they'll most likely include a shell for free. I certainly won't be using one of those. I like the look of the new controller! Could be handy if you break one of your hands. View the previous pages, this is the most informative topic in the whole latest news board.

One thing just occured to me. What will the DVD remote look like? Does the Rev controller have enough buttons for the necessary (complicated) DVD navigation?

I take it you've never used the DVD function on a PS2.

DVD's better not mess up the REV's lens like the PS2. Don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about, my sister has a PS2 and it doesn't read DVD's anymore and she had to get a DVD player. I still don't have my own DVD player yet ;)

And about the remote, you pretty much need one if you want to do ANYTHING with our DVD besides play (on the PS2). But the Revolution controller is a remote. Hmmm.... I guess it might be like
D-Pad- Menu Navigation
Start- Pause
Select- Stop
Home- Back to main menu
A- Menu selection(every DVD has a play option on the menu)
B- Zoom
a- Rewind
b- Fast forward
And... we're out of buttons. It's not like MOST DVD players record anyway. Well there are all the numbers, but when are those important on a DVD?

You don't know what you're talking about.

Maybe we're looking at this wrong. Maybe we're aupposed to hold the upper half (+ pad) with our left hand and the lower half (buttons) with our right. Or vice-versa, if you felt like.

Did you watch the video?

BP · « **Reply #113 on:** December 14, 2005, 11:05:18 PM »

Yes. What I said was just a theory of a way you could use it if you wanted to.

You're right, I never have used one before (because I've neve had anything besides a Nintendo system). But I did know that you could use the game remotes for that, I just didn't know if this had enough buttons. Using the motion-sensing remote for DVD stuff could be difficult in some areas. Except for camera control!

For the DVD PS2 function, you can't use the controller for anything but Play and Stop, which forces you to get a DVD rremote special for the PS2 if you want to do anything else. Sounds like a money making strategy if you ask me.

The controller does more than just play and stop, you know.

IIRC, I've seen the DVD player be controlled with a dance pad.

Well, I remember my sister complaining how she couldn't do anything like move through the menu or something. Point is you need a remote to enjoy the DVD fully.
