I seem to remember hearing somewhere that you could only view DVDs on the PS2 if you had a DVD remote. Can I just use the DS2 controller to access all the menus and options and such?
You can play DVD's without a remote on the PS2. Just use your controller as a remote.
What you heared was from the XboX. For the XboX you need a remote to watch DVD's
Thanks. One last question: Would I be missing out on any special menus or features and such if I chose to use the DS2 controller instead of a DVD remote?
It's also a hassle trying to remember just which button does what on the controller, or, settin' the controller down on the floor part way through a movie and hitting a button to go forward or back a scene.
