Final Fantasy X Import (NTSC) To the UK

[FFXAnthony]

OK Well basically I've just got a normal PAL PS2 and I've imported Final Fantasy X from the USA. When I insert the CD it says "Please insert a Playstation or Playstation 2 format disc"
Is that normal?

I know I shouldn't really be able to play it, but I was kinda expecting a different message like "Incorrect Region" or something.

I really really want to be able to play this game since it took a lot of effort to get it in the first place. Are there any hacks or ways to play the game without getting my PS2 Chipped?

If I do have to get it chipped, will the Origachip work?

I'd be VERY Grateful on any information about this! (E-mail me at: [email protected])

Thanks,
Anthony
