What Attachments Can I Find for PlayStation 2?

Some of the attachments that you can find for PlayStation 2 are:

• DVD remote control: Since it is possible to watch DVD's through your PlayStation, you can get a remote that allows you to control playback without having to touch the console. There are two variations of the remote: the first came without eject and reset/power buttons. The second model SCPH-10420 has an eject button that will only work on PS2 models SCPH-100xx to SCPH500xx because the Slimline PlayStation 2 models do not have a motorized disk tray.

What Other Accessories Can I Find?
