Im thinking of having Neo 4 fitted to my PS 2, but im getting estimates of £135 anyone know where I can get it done cheaper??
Also whats everyone views on the Neo 4, I know a Neo 2.2 can be fitted cheaper, but I don'tlike the idea of Disc swapping.

I know where you can get it done cheaper...
...but I don't support piracy.

Maybe you could get extended warranty on the Neo chip too.
Or not do it

I have 4 yrs Insurance on my PS 2 and the £135 price includes 1 yr gurantee on the Neo 4.
I don't believe in Piracy either, this is strictly for Back ups.

If you get your PS2 chipped I would imagine that your 4 years insurance wont be worth the paper its printed on.
£135 is a way bit hefty in my op. bare chip is approx £50, I`d expect u`d pay roughly £80-£90 if the place installs it 4 u.
however if u install ur self u got 2 solder 44 wires!!
another thing the neo4 does require use of action replay swap trick. m8 mine had his done with neo4, £60 he paid without AR.
so i guess £135 must inc the AR price aswell.
Messiah on the other hand has 22wires and reqiures no AR or swap trick of any sort. only prob both r hard 2 get hold of due to sony.
kanection.co.uk is 1 place i heard of whether they have messiah or neo4 i dont know.
there r also reports of some asian companies taking up production of ps2 mod chips, and they apparently dont give a monkeys about what sony say. u could also search 4 eurochip v.3. ive seen that on some sites.
hope this helps :)

No it doesn't! That is the whole feature of the chip, the fact it doesn't need the swap trick.
It only needs the swap trick if you use DVD-Rs. And then you don't use AR2, you use a DVD game with a TOC bigger than the one you are playing. DVD-R games are very uncommon as the blank DVDs cost about £5!!
If your "mate" has had a Neo4 installed, and still has to use an AR2 swap trick, he's been done!

iv'e also been told that Neo 4 doesn't require a swap trick from where I was quoted. Tom can you tell me where I can get it done cheaper with out a swap trick, as I said this is strictly for back ups.
