Before someone jumps up and down on their high horse, I'm not even touching burnt games. I need to be able to play region 1 DVDs and I'm too tight to fork out for a DVD player.
Anyway, anyone know where I can get it done and how much it's roughly going to cost? Any dodgy people out there people have had run ins with? |

You can buy cheap DVD players these days for under 100 bux, that plays all 4 regions. Getting a PS2 chipped is over 100. But I would still get the PS2 chipped IMO.
Also, does the chip void warranty? If its brand new, I would wait till the warranty date closes in, just in case

ive done a few chips for people, and done my own...
It most certainly does void your warranty. I charge $50 to do it, + cost if chip anywhere between 50-$100 so yea, I'd say buy an el cheapo DVD player, it will work out cheaper...

I'd rather chip the Playstation for the simple fact I CBF swapping all the bloody cables over behind it. Warranty isn't an issue, it ran out ages ago. |

have a look in the trading post under games, there will be a heap of people that do chips advertising in there. I got my X-Box chipped for the same reason as you, it's conveniant to be able to rip games strait onto the HD too. :P
