    I think, this topic is going to spur lots of comments, business-ethics, etc.

    Not a really good topic..

    Which PS2 do you have? The older bulkier one or the newer slimmer one? The new slimmer one is much easier to mod. I have one. All I had to do was buy some peices of plastic and a boot cd. I put the little plastic peices in some holes in the PS2 to confuse the mechanism. So I just pop in the swap disk, take it out, put my burnt game in and I'm good to go! :)

    you have to tell which country are you living in first. you can't buy a modchip in any stores in the us for sure.
