I walked by a shop down in Richmond, BC the other day and they say that they can mod a PS2 for 80 canadian bucks. I don't know weather they are just shitting with me or it was real. After asking my sister, who just return from HK, about the mod, she said HK also have them. Now my question. Who got the mod already? Have you seen anything wrong with it yet?

I have heard that only the CD-Rom based games an play on a modded system, or can be played if they are copies. The DVD ones supposedly wont work. But piracy is for losers man. Dont do it! Even against an evil company such as Sega

I've had a modchip for a month. Now my Japanese console will play Import and NA backups for PSX and Import backups for PS2. Haven't tried NA PS2 games... 'cuz there aren't any yet. I've had no problems, except RE:Nemesis... the CD tray jams, but if you pull on it gently it works no prob.

The only reason I want the modchip is to play all region games and DVD. I don't really care about back-up copies since they could screw up the laser unit like in PS1. I guess I'll not get it for now. Another question is that is Modchip.com trustworthly? Thanks.

Yea, its for real. Mod chips for the japanese PS2, well at least the first version, were released a couple months ago. Still have yet to crack the second version i bleieve and wont have on for the NA version for several months after launch.
