To mod or not to mod

[XxCrashxX]

Ok heres the deal I want a ps2 and I should be getting it here shortly and I was wondering if I should mod it. Now I know this sounds like a retarded question but heres the deal I modded my psx and it was moderately difficult. So what Im afraid of is paying 60 bucks for a mesSaih 2 and screwing up the soldering (not to mention a perfectly good ps2) and there is no1 where I live or near where I live (usa) that could mod it for me. And I believe the magic is 22 or so wires isn't. Sounds kinda hard to me

any it advice

thx


oh and one more thing could some one briefly explain this whole rip kit thing is it not possible to dub a ps2 game with a dvd burner sorry for the newb question
