PS2 DVD Remote preference?

I appreciate everyone's help when I asked about memory cards. I actually found an official Sony card for $12.99 brand new in the package at a pawn shop.

Now I need help chosing a DVD Remote. My first inclination is to buy the official Sony brand...but I want to hear other opinions before I make the purchase.

As always, Thanks in Advance!!

Get the Sony remote, the rest are garbage. I can't believe it took them that long actually to release a decent remote that had play and rewind on the buttons instead of just throwing controller buttons onto a remote shaped piece of plastic. Unless something new has come along, the Sony remote is the only one even remotely (hehe) worth considering.

The five bucks you save (by going with a generic) is not worth sacrificing the features and dependability of the first party SONY remote.

Yeah, there's no excuse not to go for that one. It has updated drivers too so you get a few more features. Still no zoom, though...

Thank you all for your input. I have a $5 off $19.99 coupon for Best Buy and was going to pick up the sony remote today, but I wanted to check and make sure that was the one to go with.

do the knew dvd drivers improve the sound decoding? because that's the only real complaint i have about watching dvds on the ps2. the background sound effects are too loud and i can never hear what the people are saying.
