Hi,
I was wondering, if I bought a pal ps2, is there a way to play imported games (either us or jap) on it? I know there's modchips of course, but is there another way? I don't want to play ffx (or any other hampered palrelease) with borders/50hz, so will it run on 60hz and fullscreen if i bought a us version? (I reckon it does, but I wish to know for sure).
cheers
