So, when Sony finds a way to block the current mod chip, then what? Oh that's right, you have to get a new version installed. More money down the drain. Unless you are only planning to play a few current imports or you are a pirate, a mod chip is a risky investment. I never said curent games do not work. However, there is a big possibility that future games may be incompatible. If you have to send your Ps2 to someone to have it modded everytime Sony foils a chip, the cost will add up. Not everyone has a local shop that will mod the system, nor does everyone have the knowledge or ability to install it themselves.Quote:
ALL games work with the messiah 2. import, dvdr9 burns....EVERY game. and sony has nothing on the mod scene. anytime something is released or a new system revision comes out theres always a new chip or if you're playing burns theres always a patch if needed. theres lots of pro installers that get your system back within the week and for $115 including shipping chap and install id say its not that expensive considering how much you pay to import games in the first place. not getting a quality mod installed is just being lazy and cheap. and the same people that say a mod is expensive are always the ones that plunk down $300 on a jap system they dont need. $300 vs $115? there's no issue.
To put it bluntly, unless you want a mod chip for pirating or homebrew stuff, it is much safer to go with a J-Ps2. More expensive? Maybe. Easier? Hell yes. Obviously, if you only plan on buying one or two imports a J-Ps2 is silly, but then, so is a mod chip. I paid $250 w/ free shipping for my Japanese Ps2 and I'm much happier with it than I would be spending $115 messing with a system that is notorious for messing up as it is. A Japanese Ps2 was right for me. Is it right for everyone? No. Is it still the best option? IMO, yes it is.
Can't you just use the Unreal trick? I think you put that game in, and when it boots you swap something else in. (I'm going off a fading memory of a rumour, so bear with me.)
clever :pQuote:

My problem with a chip is that my PS2 is getting old. I wanted to play DDP DOJ a couple of months ago, so I did some wheelilng & dealing & got a JPS2. If I would have spent $115 on a chip for my US PS2, I would be VERY upset about the Disc Read errors I started getting last week.
PS2 - $300 (bought it on launch, got a replacement about 2 years ago throught a warranty) + Mod chip - $115 = $415 modded PS2 that is dying. Even buying a new one at $179 & a $115 mod chip is more than a JPS2. That math doesn't work for me.
On top of that, the PS2 is a known junk heap, I also wouldn't want someone monkeying around in a new one, because that just seems like flirting with trouble. I know these people know what they are doing, but that's just me.
I'll just have to deal with it when US PS2 finally dies, but I shouldn't have to worry about that for quite a while with my JPS2.

Yours is cute, but you're a girl, you can get away with cute avatars.
Mine is funkapimpilicious. :cool:
Actually, I've never had a problem with a Sony product (Walkman, Discman, PS1, PS2, TV, etc.). Just lucky, I guess. :)
definately his nip av. That was awesome.
I think its okay if guys have cute avs, like shidoshi! his is adorable.
and wow, you are lucky. I have no idea what to say other than you are probably going to be spared from judgement day or something.......you've NEVER gotten a disk error, once? never had to put a psx on its side? ever? EVER?
I think once I had a DVD where the picture was covered in green pixels when played on my PS2, but otherwise no.Quote:

Well, actually, I did have a PS1 glitch up on me once, but I had used it for years with no problems..then I picked up the smaller, redesigned PSone and stuck the old PS1 in the closet. After a while, I brought the old PS1 to Gamestop to trade it in, and they tested it in the store, and boom- the FMV and sound of any game they put in was choppy. It was fine for years and suddenly, it was choppy. So I brought it to EB, where they never test anything, and traded it in there. :)
Overall, though- no problems with Sony stuff for me. As I said, I must be lucky.
