Are we talking about the test machines? If so I've got a friend who might be selling his.

Ie, they're simply ps2's but instead of saying ps2 they say test. They don't play backups, simply allow booting of all region discs (pal, Ntsc) I could never understand how sony pulled it off seeing as their pre production discs don't have the 'barcodes'

Hmmmm, Prob a simple explination out there!
