The ONLY reason the Sony remote is limited in features is because it came out earlier than the competition. Thats the reason it doesnt accomodate the on-screen features of the new Sony Mega Changers (Spec).

Anyone who is not completely blind can see the screen, and no one who knew what they were talking about wouldn't compare it to its much higher priced "competitors".

Stop bitching about the size, would you rather have the size and space that 7-12 remote's take up?

Basically I have to admit I only read the first two responses in this, and found the one that goes by Spec, in my personal opinion is an idiot.
