You dirty people.
S'not rude.

If you order a PS2 game from the US, will it play on the good ol' UK PS2s? I know, I know.. frown all you want!

Thankies :)

Um, I'm not sure if he answered your question.. maybe I'm just confused.

The UK PS2 will be PAL, US games will be NTSC (I guess). I know for a fact that PAL games won't work on NTSC consoles.. but then, it may not be the same the other way around?

Oh, hang on:

"Country Lock-out/Region Encoding"

"The country lock-out system employed in video game consoles such as Playstation 2 and Xbox makes it impossible to play games that were not intended for your country. This is highly inconvenient for some gamers who want to purchase games from other countries, either because they are released there sooner or they are not released in other regions at all. You may be aware that there are Playstation 2 mod chips that circumvent the region encoding and also the copy protection."

Um, yes. Looks like you'll need a mod chip, I was thinking that too.

No worries, I'm in a helpful mood for some reason. Boredom and the urge to do something constructive, I guess...

Know the feeling. Maybe you should go out and help and old lady cross the road. That would just top it all off.

I live in the -quiet- part of Wales. We have thin roads and dangerous old women, and if I tried to help them one of us would end up dead.

Oh dear. I think I've lost my sanity somewhere.

Productive... productive.. I'll um.. you wouldn't by any chance be any good at drawing koalas, would you?

Dangerous, as in, carry knives? Or bricks in handbags? There's an image with blue eye-shadow and bright red lipstick now.

Koalas? I can barely picture one at the moment, letalone draw! You could try the alternate version of free association writing if you're having troubles finding your muse! Get lost in a deep state of mind, then.. draw..
