    Best way?

    PS2 fat with a HDD loader.

    I don't really follow modchips, but I wouldn't get whatever
    was on "sale". Plus, ps2 mods are a billion tiny solder points.

    With the hdd, you can just ftp stuff to the hdd, but I have never bothered.

    I usually just get the games I want on sale about 3 months or so after they come out.

    Even better way would be get PS2TEST and get whatever region titles you like.

    I bought and installed an Origa chip in early '02 to play imports - it was a pain. For backups I just use the Cogswap method on my other PS2- requires action replay to load exploit to memory card and you must have a way to swap discs but it works a charm.

    DMS3, DMS4, Thunder Pro, Matrix Infinity... Those are the best to make a PS2 more fun.

    And i'm not talking about piracy.
