PSX import system

**Player 1** · 29 Aug 2002, 04:27 PM

I recently prucahsed a lot of Beatmania games for the japanese PSX. I have a modded PSX but it would load the appends without a game shark. I'd actually much rather have a Japanese PSX. Does anyone know where I could go about obtaining one and how much I should expect to spend. Any info pertaining would be much appreciated.

It still baffles me a bit that I have never seen any major import retailers (such as NCS or VGD) carry import PS systems. Maybe I just missed something...

Anyway, here is one site: http://www.lan-kwei.com/playstationE/

Just get an import PS2. That way you can play import PSX games with faster loading and (barely) smoother textures AND play import PS2 discs to boot AND watch import DVDs.

Well I don't know about those other guys... but for some reason our distributors are no longer able to get us Japanese PSone systems. Don't know why though.

'Tis rather odd, indeed.

Thanks for the links. I suppose that aside from Ebay, there aren't any import PSXes to be had. The prices for the PSones aren't too bad though. As for the thought of getting an import PS2, I just don't feel comfortable investing hundreds of dollars on a piece of hardware that I don't think is very reliable. What are import 2s going for these days?
