PS TWO Mod Chip Advice

[Warlock]

Nah, the lasers are cheap. IMO the only consoles with decent lasers are v5, v6, v7.

Does that fix Sped was talking about lengthen the life of the laser?

[cheryl771]

ok if you can't sell it maybe you should wait a bit before you mod it. If it dies then at least you can mail it back to sony under warranty.

Thats what i was thinking, on one forum a couple people said the sonys have like a lifetime warranty where if you talk to them they will actually fix disc read error problems and such for life. If you mail it in. Does anyone know how long the warranty actually lasts as long as i dont open it?

[cheryl771]

Uh til Sony goes bankrupt
or you die
or it's obsolete and you don't care anymore
or you mod it
or you take off security seal sticker
It's about 10-15 bucks to mail it off to Sony if it does die. And even after Sony does repair work on it-it still gets an additional 30 day warranty. Give it some time. I know it stinks having to wait to mod it but consider the price of a new laser-ouch. Best to give it some time. In the time you spend waiting just use that time to save up money for the chip.

Hi,

Newbie here

I'm interested in getting my PStwo modded by GWD - http://www.gameworlddirect.co.uk/cat...oducts_id=2669

Does anyone know if this chip will allow the playing of backups? The site refuses to discuss it, from what the page says. Other than playing import games, does it have other advantages?

Much appreciated,

If its a real Martix infinity a simple firmware update will allow you to play backups.

It will play backups - but you'll have to flash it with the latest version of the Infinity firmware to do so. It's an easy job, i'd happily tell you how to do.

That's a top site. I've had plenty of dealings with Ben - great bloke and a really reputable site as far as I and many others are concerned
