(More info here)

Well I was thinking about importing a PSX (PSX DESR-7000) (assuming that I can find a mod chip to allow me to use North American games on it).

I don't have a PS2 atm. I'd like one, which the system includes.
I don't have a DVD player, but I do have DVDs (My DVD player was in my Xbox, which I sold) and I'd like one with an integrated burner - just like the PSX has .
I'd like a DVR, which the PSX also has (with a 250GB HDD).

The PSX has PS2 and PS1 game playability, a DVD player/writer, a 250 GB HDD, a DVR (Digital Video Recorder), integrated online adaptor, a TV tuner, image viewing off a memory stick/memory stick DUO and cross compat. with the PSP (which I have).

Do you think it would be worth it for me to import one through a site like Lik-Sang? They retail for around $650 Canadian, I believe (they're out of stock at the moment, with no listed price). This is all assuming that I can find a compatible mod chip for PSX DESR-7000 (and if anyone knows a site that has them, I'd appreciate it).

Note: Just so you ppl know - I'm not looking for the mod chip for the sake of illegally downloading and playing pirated games - just so I can use North American games on a Japanese console

Also Note: I plan to buy a PS3 at launch.
