Post modding a PS2?

went to PAC-Mall yesterday and a guy there said he will mod my ps2 for $100 and include 3games.

jus wanting to know if this is a good idea or bad idea and if there are any negative side effects.

anybody with experience in modding ps2's plz holla back
thanx
...Damian


wow i wrote that a long *** time ago, and to think i still havnt gotten around to doing it.
>>>>anyways, i didnt pay 285, i payed 449 at future shop way back on january 23rd 2001.
so i'm assuming this one can't be modded? thanx again

u can get atleast 6 games and the mod done...u just gotta haggle abit...other than that, its a fair price

um if your ps2 is a newer version (not the 1st ones that came out) then u will be fine as the older ones lasers tend to burn out when reading copied media

Seems like a good price, but as Cynikal said, press for more games

There are web sites out there that can tell you approx. when your PS2 was made judging by the serial number built into the system, just gotta find the right web site for it!

my buddy's laser went and he has to get another one shiped from tokyo, its taking too long (around a month and still hasnt arrived), i got my ps2 around the same time (also modded) and no problems, my buddy got one of the first (even has the ghetto gameshark miod) and is still fine so i guess it has to do a bit with luck

ok,... i'm assuming modded mean that you can play burnt games right? .. aren't most of the games dvd.. so to burn games you need a dvd burner?

I got a DVD burner - I never used it though. I thought about modding my PS2, but I haven't played it since like... January now.
