I am looking at buying a second hand PS2 and then messiah 2 modding it. What version PS2's don't I want. I know some have problems, but i am not sure what problems and which models.
Thanks.

What are the problems with other versions then?

The laser is weaker on the older ones, making it tougher to read dvd-r's.

Pretty much anything you get before a version 7 will be used anyway. So the laser allready has some use, and is not as good as an original most of the time.

You don't want anything pre-v5. They are ****e to do an install on. Plus they are older.
