cool, well get a crystal chip thats what ive got in my new one

Well.. As for putting a harddrive in the slim line ps2 it isnt gonna happen

but ive been told you can get external hd and plug it in using usb and a new hd loader will be released, or go on the web or something (EBAY) and look for a 39003 or 39002. Where abouts are you located?
