not strictly true seeing as in the us it's only 30 dollars for teh remote and ability to play dvds...

anyway i think the reason why they didn't include it was it would cost extra....and they know that MOST people have a dvd player already....

think about it people already had to shell out 20 quid to get the official sony remote...

the xbox remote is NOT big and has a heck of a lot more features than the ps2 one.....not that i would use all of them but they're there if you do need them...

ps2 is great but i think x box is good too..

Its only the official remote that is needed to get it working.

you wont be able to watch DVDs without paying £50 to get it workin

You wont be able to dvd videos without the remote but it can read games that are on dvd roms.
