How many here own dvd burners?

[Serpent]

Since we all agree that a dvd-rw is the WTG: couple of questions then:

1. how long does it take to rip a ps2 game to your HD?

2 how long does it take to write a ps2 game to dvd-r?

3 Do you need a mod chip to play games on dvd-r (i think so) or is that only for people wanting to play games on cd-r?
