Are their any other cons to this chip? As its what I am looking at and it seems to have a lot of Pros, but I would still like to know the Cons.

Thanks

Hopefully this'll be fixed in a firmware update

skub is an unknown quantity at this point
The other con is that between the PS2 Logo and the boot of the actual game there is a 10 second wait at a black screen, you can make up for this by quickbooting the chip so that it skips at least the browser and PS2 logo which saves you ten seconds, then you just watch the black for 10 seconds and it evens out.

As far as I'm concerned these are very small issues.

I dont really think that will bother me too much, because of all the pros it has, nothing can be 100% pro.

Cheers

I have never had this problem when booting a PS2 game, on any console I have modded with the infinity. Now with PSX games I have seen long boot times, but this is easily over come by holding circle to force the chip to PSX mod and bypass the auto boot feature. Or if you boot with no controller in port 1 it will take a long time too...... but who would do that.

Oh by the way, the DMS3 V9 has the same bug that I spoke of on the V9 and V10 consoles.... not really a con, just a bug that is easy to get around.**Edit*** well I take that back, the DMS3 doesnt have quite the same bug but similar, you cant turn on the console with the eject button when its been in standby for a while, have to hit reset then eject.... also not a big deal.

Well on my machine, between the PS2 logo w/ the infinity sub logo there is about 10 seconds of black before the first screen of the game boots. The reviewer of the Infinity detailed the same issue but it's relatively unnoticable unless it's pointed out.
