"To Chip or not to Chip"

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.

If you are a cheap criminal that doesnt care about stealing from the companies that make the games then go right ahead.
If not dont bother.
Besides that playing the PS2 games that are normally on DVDs on CDs should result in somewhat of a lack of quality.

Hmm, I've got a feeling that we could be waiting along time for that "back up" statement!

Bit of a shame really because I was looking forward to a good argument.

i think it is a good thing to chip you ps2

Thanks Milenko, I'll give it a go in the next couple of days. I'll be glad to get it back running properly as the jumpy bits are bloomin annoying!

Should be fine in a standalone DVD player, think the main problem with using them in PS2 is just down to the quality of the components Sony used in some models.

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.....

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

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?

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..
