Do think its a good thing to chip your PS2 or a bad thing?

Also can someone tell me the actual details of how they work, the one i mainly want to know about is the Sbox external chip box, and what boot and other software or hardware you need.

Damages the games industry. Not good

Promotes piracy. Not good

End up paying more for actual games. Not good

Could bust PS2. Not good

Don't do it basically, just shop around for the cheapest games.

if you want to do it to play pirate games

then don't because you'll only add to the

growing prices of games these days.

Chips and Playstations just dont go together.

All that potato just gets stuck in disc drawer and the vinegar tends to soak through to the laser and Kaputt.

No - definately keep the chips away from the PS2..

Talking of lasers and Kaputt, has anyone used a CD/DVD cleaner before, I've just bought one on the advise of a shop assistant, he said purchase this cleaner for £15.99......don't worry, I went next door to the cheapy place a paid a quid but I was just wondering whether they're any good?

I've read somewhere that Sony strongly advise against using cd cleaning systems.

Oops, sorry forgot to mention, it's not for my PS2 but dedicated DVD player, it's been playing up for a while now and this bloke recommended the cleaner before taking it in and paying shed load of money for them to look at.....
