Yes you heard correctly the OFFICIAL remote is out now and I've just picked it up from EB.
The remote is very smart indeed and has a button for every funtion so none of this going through the menu anymore. It comes with a driver disc which upgrades the player to version 2 but only problem is, it's a MASSIVE file about 2000 kb so you'll need some free space.
It has some really excellent functions like,
3 speeds of search both ways (forward and reverse).
Time display to show how long the disc has been running. Disc/title/chapter repeat.
Program which chapters to play in a certain order.
A-B
and quite a few other nice new features i forget which.
Everything is neatly set out and it's very resonsive but It does however come with a £20 price tag but take it from me it's DEFINATLY worth it.

Yeah tell me about it, another bad thing is it takes up your second controller port *sigh*
I forgot to metion the reverse slow motion which I thought was pretty cool,It could do with a standby buttton but everything else is ace, someone said it fixes the lip sync but i haven't used it enough to see, hope so :)
