Now, I always figured I'd get it chipped...but, now it seems like on the release of the x360 and upcoming release of the ps3...I don't know if there's a point.
Seems to me the originals are now available second hand, and even new at pretty damn low prices...sure, now AS low as the prices I can personally get on copied games, but I've heard modding severely effects the lifespan of the unit, especially the ps2...so, what do you reckon...is it worth having it modded, or should I just deal with having "cheap but not as cheap" ps2 originals?
When I got another PS2 I got the service plane from Best Buy because when the PS3 comes out I can actually return my PS2 and put the money I spent on it toward the PS3. Interesting little policy...

Anyway, I've never been into copied movies or games... I like owning the originals and while it costs more money I actually have a collection. ONLY reason I would get a modded PS2 is so I can play imports easier.
