Just got a Magic 2 for free, but.........

[Berzy]

i've done a fair bit of modding but it's only with the xbox. but just last week a buddy gave me a magic 2 mod for a V3, which is exactly what mine is.

so i blew the dust off the PS2 and opened her up. it's definatly going to be tougher to sodder than the xbox. (any websites with tips)

but what i'm wondering is how obsolete is the magic 2?
should i just toss it and buy the magic 3.1?
also what can the magic 3.1 do that the magic 2 can't, meaning are there some games that won't play on the M2 cuz the bios is out of date or something to that nature.
