You have probably come across someone with a chiped ps1, as you might not have your own chiped. Well I don't have mine chiped and I still hear of others rhyming on that they have got the likes of a new game on the release date for only a lousy fiver. It would probably take myself a good while if I was to save up for a brand new game which would actually work.
So if you were to get your ps1 chiped, I recomend you all not to, for a start it doesn't take much for the ps1 to be destroyed after chiped, and besides most chiped games don't work. I find this totally unfair that others get so many games for so cheap and you're definately not allowed 1 cause its illegal as well.
So the best thing to do is to always buy proper games from the likes of SR as they are so cheap and that they are very reasonable!
What do all think bout chiped ps1's and games?
My friend bought a new PS and tried to have it chipped and it knackered his brand new console, He couldn't take it back because it was opened inside.
He bought another one and succeded getting it chipped,It cost him £20 and another £180 for another console,Then getting the games he had to wait about 2 weeks for the person to get hold of the game, copy it and pass it to him.
All my friends had their consoles chipped but I prefer the nice case,instructions,guarantee that it works and i can pick one out, buy it and play it in the same day.They don't want a ps2 because they can't run their games on it and their still getting chipped games,Why they are £5 upwards now.
i think now they're on DVD, it'll be hard for a while,but i think the virus that corrodes the game gradually is a good idea or the code on the metal gear solid case.INGENIUS
But, saying that, I have got a couple of copied PC games and I only got them because they weren't actually out at the time. Adrian is right, the temptation of getting a game before it is out is sometimes to hard to resist.
