    a display showing the image in the first orientation; and

    a directional input device being movable between a first position associated with a first display orientation and a second position associated with a second display orientation, the movement of the directional input device between the first position and the second position controls the rendering of the image between the first display orientation and the second display orientation, and, if the display changes to render the image in a second orientation, directional functionality of the directional input device changes from a first directional functionality associated with the first image orientation to a second directional functionality associated with the second image orientation.
