    I haven't heard anything about that. $50,000 also seems to be a bit hefty for selling modchips, unless he was selling modified consoles with games already installed on the hard drives. I've heard of a few cases like that, and I think each of them gets what they deserve.

    As for selling just modchips or an "installing service", I'll tell you once the local guy gets locked up ;).

    ebgames stopped testing all their shite bout a year ago, they used to be really cheery people, you could talk to them for hours and hours, now all they do is try to sell you a warranty on a friggin game....do they think were idiots....retorical question..



    ill keep my open to see if i see anything, but i checked earlier today, the ebgames that had the network adapters went bust due to the location of the mall, it was a seedy place, and if you know about hamilton ontario, than you know how seedy it is, im goin to another one tommorw, so ill check...i hope..

    For xbox, go with softmod since you just want to play imports. Great thing is that you can still do almost everything you could with a modchip. Plus...it's free (if you have the right tools that is).

    For PS2, depends what you want to do. I'd recommend swap magic since you don't need to open your console.

    Modding a PS2 is one of the most hardest things to do. Too many wires!!

    Exactly why I bought Swap Magic. Now if I could make something to jam down in the lid sensor, I'd be good to go.

    Listen to this one, please. I learned that the hard way.

    Yes, get Swap Magic, unless you have a seriously expert electronics technician that can help you.

    Yep, and here's the most important part: the installation itself. Use the right cables, a decent solder, plus you have to place the modchip on a place it won't cause interference.

    Marcelo, from Maximum Level Games, did the install of mine, and all i can say is WOW. 1 hour of a work of art.

    Anyway, you can use DMS4EZI that does not require a single soldering. Just connect the chips to the boards and it's ready to go:

    JTI2K: If you want a PS2 network adaptor, check www.mercadolivre.com.br or any brazilian online game store. I'm sure you'll find one easy.

    If they find some way to make one of those things for the slim PS2, I'll be happy :).
