US v7 and Apple Chip
 

Is 39001 the only model available for the US v7? Cause I'm gonna buy an Apple Chip from http://www.modchip-sbox.com and it says the v7 Apple Chip only works on the 39001. I have yet to buy my new v7 ps2 so I was wondering wether there was a chance they could carry a v7 other than the 39001.

Anyone?

You "Should" be fine... The last V5-V6 that I have seen in the stores was at least 1-2 months ago..... I haven't seen ANY in the last month FOR SURE.... Go to a big retail store when you get the Ps2....They do enough volume that you should have no problems getting a V7.....

But is 39001 the only current model of v7 available?

As far as I know....I haven't seen anything else other than the 39001....
Maybe someone else can VERIFY that currently the 39001 is the newest on the market...

39001 is the official model number from Sony. v7 is 'our' handle and all 39001 iterations (with motherboard series GH-017 & 019) are Apple mod compatible.

If you walked into a store and mentioned 'v7' they'd give a blank look or ask you if you were German!

I can't comment for the U.S. but Comet in Hull are still selling v5's Check before you buy!

I don't know about ntsc versions, but pal version 7 ps 2's have 39002. I own one, actually.

The jumpers you have to solder on your chips suggest there is 39000 - 39004.

I personally have pal 39003
