r.i.p. : v3 onto v9
 

finally, after 13 months of rigorous use, my version 3 ps2 w/ magic 3.1 died. the inside of the laser assembly actually went up in smoke....maybe it worked too hard or maybe my tinkering had an effect.
anyhow, no hard feelings against it, it went and done well. my question is regarding the us 500001 model. is this the quiet fan, commited dvd+-r support, and nic included....and most importantly, would messiah work with it?

i just bought a 50001 k
 

hey there,, i just got myself one of those 50001K ps2,, and it is awsome, i got it modded last weekend, cost me $120 CDN and i had the MAGIC 5 installed on it,,

everythign works perfect, and works everytime.. are u and installer of chips yourself cause if u are,, then u can get the chip for like less then $50 US i think. It is hard to make it play DVD movies, and PS1 games, unless u know,, the proper procedure, if ya need it,, message me

50001K version 9 ps2 features

progressive scan DVD player
DVD +/-RW compatiable
built in DVD IR sensor

the magic 5 is the best in my mind
