I want the messiah mod chip but I have a v5 ps2 would it work?
If not is there another no swap mod ship. And when is the new messiah coming out?

Also, What dvd burner to get. I'm considering the pioneer a04 or HP 100i. The pioneer writes on dvd-rw and dvd-r while the HP writes on dvd+rw and dvd+r. Which is better? and which would work with dvd movies to watch on a dvd player?
