Playstation 2 Modification

Agree with GH, get a 'classic' for HD use... from online discussions, there is still no way to install an HDD on a slimline.

The harddisk contains the copies of games so no need to load from CD anymore.

depends. Some PS2 lenses last only six months which others are still running like new after two years of nearly daily use.

like I mentioned above, the laser lens has a "limited life" and seems it can be predicted by the "series number". The series number is based on the unit's serial number.

Example: serial number 5012345677 means its a series "50" unit. From what I heard, the series 50 units have very durable lenses.

If you are worried about damaging your PS2, then you don't modify your PS2. But if you want to play those very affordable pirated PS2 games, you'll need to have your PS2 modded.

I suggest the shop named EYO located at the 3rd floor Virra Mall in Greenhills.

thanks bro for the info.

your best option is to have your mod chip upgraded.

fafi glen, yan ang reason ko kung bakit yaw ko ipa mod yung ps2 slim ko eh. its not a guarantee na you can play all the games you want... pag minalas-malas, parang ganyan sa experience mo.

since nasa canada ka na naman ata, mas mura ata ps2 dyan. bili ka na lang ng bago para warrantied pa. tapos tago mo na lang yung modified mo for other games.

o kaya xbox360 na.... o antayin mo na lang muna yung ps3....
