its not worth it getting ur ps2 chipped just for 1 game i would rather wait the time instead of lossing the warranty and having the risk of damaging my ps2

No, it's not an extra drive.

Just changes the front / left side of the PS2 to a flip top, so you don't have to use the drive tray.

I thought it was just a drive where you can run an extra disk at the same time. The disk isnt the key, it just kind of overrides the PS2 settings. Would I be right in prosuming?

Not that I want one or anything, Im perfectly happy with my plain old PAL PS2

There is no such thing as a flip-top disc.
Discs do not have flippy tops.

Actually, there's this amazing force-field type thingo that starts up when you try to put the boot disc in. It's actually impossible for disc to come within about a foot of the PS2 - unless you want to go flying back across the room, or your disc exploded in your face with all the shards digging into your eyes and renting and ripping open pupils and retina, through, through into grey tissue and mind.

ahem.

New Sony anti-piracy policy.
Kill those who try it.

[S]also: don't trying opening up a new PS2. your whole family, all your friends, pets, and favorite possesions, servant and slaves could be at serious risk. Plus, you'll void your warrenty. Oo-er.

I'm pretty sure you only need the disc.

You can add a flip top to the original PS2, and then you can use a disc, kinda like a Free-loader. However it is Illegal. I want to know if you can user the disc with the Slim PS2 though, since it's already a flip-top.
