silver or used black ps2? by Supersonicdarky on 11-05-2006 at 03:27 AM

should i get this silver ps2 (looks awesome and will fit well with the theme of the room), or buy an old/used black (if someone could find link, and not online shopping link plz)

btw, i mean not now but when and if the price drops after the ps3 comes out? i just need a working one to play some final fantasy games.

and since i dont know anything about consoles, do i need a mod chip or some other mod to play burnt games? (including burnt ps1 game)

Yes, most PS2 mod chips have backwards compatible burned games...compatibility :p

Get the Silver PS2 :P Looks sexeh!

I would suggest getting a PS3...seems its worth it (well, worth it after the 600$ price drops :p)

as i said, i dont need any fancyness (just the silveryness looks cool), i just need it to play ff9, 10, 10-2, 12 [Image: msn_happy.gif] ps3 is too much (both price and what it can do wise)

so mod chip required to play burnt?

Yes a mod chip is required to play burnt games.  Or a gameshark if you know the right method.

If you ask me I suggest you take that silver one, looks really great.
yes you need a mod chip.

I don't think the prices will drop after the ps3 comes out at all, Sony aren't stupid and they know that not everyone can afford the ps3, so I'd just buy one now.

I wouldn't get a mod chip if I were you, it's great if you want to download games and be cheap about it, but if you want a decent working PS2 that still retains it's warranty, then I'd suggest that you don't get it chipped.

Go for a silver ps2 if I were you, they've got improved fans I think, whatever you do, don't get a slimline ps2, they're attrocious.

Meh, that's easy enough to answer? The old black bulky ps2 of course :rolleyes:

Yeah, bulky ftw. Loads more hackable, AND you can easily play games off a harddrive :D
