I'm going to Malaysia in a weeks time. Now I'm thinking of getting a PS2, but know very litttle about them. So I was hoping someone here might give me some quick answers.
What PS2 version should I look for? And which modchip?
ANSWER: Others will disagree - but JAP SCPH 35000 with OrigaChip 1.25 as it will boot PAL originals in the UK as well as US and, of course, JAP originals. Plus it will do DVDRs with a very simple swap using DVD Region X as the boot disk.
Are PS2 games DVD or CDs? Can I backup the games using a CD-ROM and CD-RW?
ANSWER: New games today are DVD. To mid 2001, mainly CD. Yoiu can back up CD games to a CD-R (not CD-RW); you can buy a Pioneer A03 and then make DVD-Rs.
Once the PS2 is modded does that mean it can play NTSC and Pal games?
ANSWER: Get it modded and it will play both NTSC & PAL games.
Lastly, should I consider getting the XBOX - but only if in the near future the games can be backup? Any opinions here?
ANSWER: No opinion other than the number of mainstream titles is somewhat light on XBOX.
Cheers
