divineo have stoped selling ps2 modchips
 

Just a quick thread to let u know divineo have stoped selling ps2 modchips

sounds like Sony is on the warpath. It wont be long before they stop all of the sites from selling them.
I wonder if this is the beginning of a new era in time where the GCWsite will have to stop mentioning modchips as well for the sake of keeping the site up and running. I sure hope not but it would seem that things are not looking too good for all of those involved with the sales. As Sony wins more cases prohibiting the sales and use of modchips, eventually it will affect things here too. Just a wild guess but who knows what will happen.

many stores have stopped selling modchips. This has happend within the last week! looks like modchiping will become something of the past for playstation.

If they want to stop modchipping MAKE GAMES CHEAPER :p and less prone to get damaged.

No :p about it, thats a very good point but do you really think they give a crap about our points. :D I mean really it would be nice to pick up some games for about 5 to 10 bucks or :rolleyes: even 20 for the newest ones but :eek: 50 is a bit out there even though I always pay it for the newest greatest. :(

yea i would pay £30 quid for a new game. I was playing spiderman 2 yesturday and its v good so i wouldnt mind paying that for that game or even £30 for the new gta like i already have :D (preorderd) but still there out of order trying to con us when it dont cost much to make. And what makes it worse is VAT!!!!

You should do a search on my Spiderman2 review. It is an awesome game. I rented it for xbox and beat it in 2 days. Now I want to buy it. It would be nice for those game prices to drop a tad. Wishfull but doubtfull. As for GTA, theres another soon to be great hit. Maybe the prices will go down a little once all of this other chip rampage crap is over. The consoles dropped in price so why not the games too. :D

very very true :)

where on the site does it say this. ohh only the .co.uk one has stoped the rest still sell them

front page under news. I donno if its only the uk warehouse but the uk has stoped.

I love to watch greedy corporations self-destruct from their own power and greed.

The public has the power, and the public has a choice. Boycott, Boycott, boycott!!! Do not be a corporate tool!

it's soon illegal to own a modshipped VideoUnit in Sweden! :o

You sure are a propagandist aint ya, ihaveanosebleed.





Tyler!

Well if you ever visited the uk you will know how much petrol cost yea.....

well the public are boycoting the big oil companys such as esso and bp. So they will lower the prices to other cometators and then other fuel stations like tesco and asda so on will lower till its a good price.......And its working!

Yeah if the shops stops the sells all in all i bet u there will be mod chip bootleggers selling them on fourm sites and such so i dout u will see the end of the mod chip and ps3 is comeing soon maybe this is why sony is trying to stop the modding so there ps3 will have high $ game prices/sells and the system will be unvialated with the mod chip installed.

What if they make the chips reflashable, more or so like the xbox? All xbox modchips come with bios that are meant to run linux, which don't even boot original xbox games. It contains no MS code, or even software to bypass securities. It also, however, allows you to flash the chip with another set of bios in case a new linux bios is released. This makes the chips completely legal to sell, since they don't do anything to copy protections. People then find the hacked xbox bios on the net and flash it themselves.

Could playstation chip creators do something the same? I mean, if not a legal set of bios, just blank? Then, sony argueing saying that the chip can be modified to play backups, won't hold up to well, since anything can be modified to do something that it's not supposed to do. It's like a person buying a cable box, then modding it to become a blackbox. A cable company can't stop cable box venders from selling them because it can be modified to get free cable.

I think I’m the exact opposite of a propagandist.

Don’t be a GD follower, **** brand loyalty !! Question the world you live in when things don’t add up.

I’d love to see Sony somehow abolish modifying. Just to watch them crash with nobody else to blame but their own overpriced inferior merchandise and the lousy reputation they’ve made for themselves selling this garbage. I see a company that’s slipping and making desperate attempts to lay blame where it doesn’t belong.

And Sony, your universal remotes suck too!! Why don’t you try selling some stuff that actually WORKS for a GD change!! Crooked, absolutely crooked bunch!!

LOL, I was merely commenting on your earlier statement and your old signature. It seems you have an axe to grind with quite a few different people, and really I dont mind. Im sure you feel what you believe is right, just like Michael Moore does.


Anyways, I didnt mean to hit a nerve with ya.



Tyler!

The world needs more Michael Moore’s. Maybe he’s one sided and doesn’t have the answers but he says some things that just need to be said. I thought BFC was brilliant but I know the answer to the Canadian difference. We have guns and shootings in Canada so why only 1/100 of the US? Geography, Canada is larger than the US with only the population of Florida. Canada has more rural population and less urban. Where do most shooting occur? I’d bet they occur in urban areas at least 10 times as much...

It’s kind of funny that the people against Fahrenheit 9/11, calling it a pack of lies are the same people who supported a war based on a pack of lies!

Look at all the facts and make your own decisions, don’t be a corporate tool. That’s what I’m saying. The answers are out there, usually right between two piles of bullsh*t.

This is true, However;
1/100 is probably a bit high, could be .5/100 which is just about what florida is (in population) to the US as a whole.
I would also bet the percentages are simular between population and shootings no matter where you live. Its a learned skill to tolerate, not a gift. ;) Some knuckle-heads just cant see eye to eye in some cases. Its all quite silly. Too much bickering now-a-dayz. Leave the bickering to the women and go grab yourself a cold beer. Everybody needs to just relax and wait to judge the stew once its stopped stewing. Not possible to give a good review on uncooked food there ya know. If everybody thought like me that .5 would drop to a wopping .05 :p :D

btw You might go as far to say this post reply is a bit on the crazy side but deep down you know its probably 99% right. ;)

Yeah, I don't remember the exact ratios. Why I mentioned Florida is because I thought it made up about 10% US population? It doesn’t matter anyway, just it was something like ten times more likely to get shot in US than in Canada and I’d be willing to bet US has ten times more percentage of urban population than Canada does, or pretty close.

Either that or it’s all the Mexicans! ;) JK!!

ihaveanosebleed,

If you want to vent out your beliefs why not do it in the Off Topic section. Obviously you need some sort of relief. Rather than having it here in the ps2 section.

BTW, your "jk" comment was rather rude.




Tyler!

My bad, anyhoo back to the subject…. Sony’s an evil hypocritical corporation who’s top priority is to rip people off from their hard earned money.

well i liked fight night 2004 did'nt feel like i was ripped off.

sony ripped me of on my stereo now it dont work

Divineo.co.uk stopped selling every modchip and now HDLoader aswell. Seems like there's nothing on the UK sites to buy from. There are still Dutch/Italian/Spannish sites selling modchips and HDLoaders though. Just gotta find them.

WOW! If Sony continues with these agressive tactics in stopping all sales, it wont be long before they shut them all down. If anyones plans are to buy anymore chips or HDloader, better hurry cause they wont be available for long.

yeah i hear that gonna order a pre modded over the weekend after i get paid

wow blimmy its taken less than a week and all the known chip sites have stopped chipping ps2's dam it must be serious.

HDLoader.com is shut now too.

serious bloody hell

very agressive indeed! btw seany, the answer to your signature is "Shnauzberry"! Why??? cause its only appropriate to have a fiction color for a fictional creature. ;)

your wrong and right there cgl there is no right or wrong colour as we dont know caus smurfs are blue. If u choke a person they go blue or purple. So its a trick question. hehe

modchips suck! last comment.

I guess I'm the only one Smoking Grass here B/c I just went to Divineo.com and they still had chips in stock with price tags on it, waiting for someone add to the shopping cart although few chips were out of stock..
:confused: :confused:

check the uk store thats what im on about. :D

F*** Sony!!!

(I'm off to buy a 'Box...)

tut tut lufc thats not nice is it :p yeah well looks like its back to computer games for me :(

Me too... :(

Fellas: All of you should of Purchased Xboxes..Great Console I must say..
Reason: Any game that comes out for PS2 and Xbox I choose Xbox version over it,unless It's PS2 Exclusive like Final Fantasy Series unlike GTA Series where Rockstar claimed it was PS2 exclusive but end it up popping up for Xbox a yr later..Due to that being GTA:San Andreas won't be purchased by me at all rather holding out till Xbox Version comes out..Till then I'll be stopping by friend's house to leech off his purchased copy on October..
Also Emu and Roms makes it FANTASTIC so how can you go wrong..
All those Old School Games such as Rastan, 4 player Turtles or Major Capcom and Neo geo Games..WOW!! :eek:
Anyway you get the point..Get yourself a Xbox..You won't go wrong..
