Still own a PS2? Don't think you're not still keeping up with the times. Check this out: sunflex Europe have just rolled out two Zero G Controllers, wireless and motion-sensitive respectively, for use with the PlayStation 2 from Sony. Just when you were thinking to get yourself a nice Wii console, right?

Don't get this the wrong way, we're not encouraging anyone to get sunflex Europe's new PS2

controllers over a Nintendo Wii, but you have to admit there are many reasons to get at least one of them and expand your gameplay experience on the PS2.

An official report reveals: The Official Licensed Products "Zero G Wireless Controller" (29.99� / 22,99�, RRP) and "Zero G Motion Controller" (24.99� / 17,99�, RRP) for use with PlayStation 2 are readily available in stores all over Europe and the PAL territories. Both game pads are branded with the PlayStation logo and the packaging complies with the design guidelines of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.

Here's a bunch of features we've extracted from the Motion Controller's specification list:

- it introduces motion sensing technology to PlayStation2: a 3D motion sensor provides for intuitive steering and movement, matching the functions of the left mini joystick
- the sensor can be turned on and off, accommodating the player's individual preferences
- the official license grants for optimum software compatibility.

As for the Wireless Controller from sunflex Europe, it sports this "turbo feature" for all analogue buttons providing up to 300 hours of wireless gaming within a range of 10 meters. sunflex confirms that both devices are equipped with switchable vibration effects.

I, for one have always prayed for someone to come and just throw in the PS2 wireless controller (never cared that much for a motion-sensing one though), and now the device I'm looking at here just takes my breath away. Not only have my wireless-prayers been answered, but it's so similar in shape, size and even color to the PS2's original controller, the DualShock2. Don't you just hate those transparent, colorful controllers that peripheral makers keep throwing at us? I have to say, this is something worth spending some cash on if you're a PS2 owner and a hardcore gamer.
