So far i've done an hours worth of MGS3 and i think i've played about 5 minutes of it. For some reason i'm not surprised, Hideo if you want to make a movie take it to Hollywood, this is the videogame industry we're dealing with here.
Better bloody improve soon, i actually want to play this game eventually

I have to admit... I have very little interest in MGS3. Dunno why though - I loved the first 2 games.
I get my games from import madness.
Ask Darwock or FFF where to find one of those.

Where is a good place to get a flip top lid and import games?
You can do it on a PStwo with a bit of tape to hold the release mechanism down.
Sorry FFF, i knew you had more information on that than me :^D
Anything you need to know about importing i would be more than happy to answer you :^D

And I haven't even got one.
That's exactly what it is - except it's called a flip-top lid.
Here's the deal:
If you've got a normal PS2, you'll need to get this thing, which is basically a new case for it with a flippy-up bit above the disc tray. And, as you can imagine, fixing on a new case is a lot cheaper, faster, and less risky than chipping.
You also need the magic-swap discs, which are the actual things that let your play American games. Just like the GC's Freeloader. The only reason you need the flip-top lid is because the disc tray's motor does something to the PS2, so you can't swap the discs over (from the magic-swap ones to the American game) without it realising and telling you off.
So, if you've got one the of the new PSTwo's which (apparently, though I've never seen one) already have flio-top lids, you shouldn't need the new case.
I say shouldn't, but I don't know if the opening of the lid on the slim PS2 is electrical or mechanical, which would make a difference. If it's electrical, you're probably screwed, because it won't let you swap the discs over and the flip-top lid case won't fit on it
phew

whats a flip top disk? Is that like another cover for the console that opens upward instead of outwards?
Well there are a number of options you would have to take,
Chipping it is one.
Buying an American console is another. (What i did)
Or buy a flip-top disc.

Wouldnt I have to get my console chipped or something if I imported it tho?
