    I know the Asia versions of PSX/PS2 games are the same Japanese game, but with a slightly different package and dual documentation, usually Japanese/Chinese & English.

    Re: oh

    I'd say so. Black and white manual, plain packaging, and no extras... Might as well put a "Cheap Crap" sign on it for me in my opinion.

    This reminds me, I spent all that time and money modding my PS2, and I only have 1 Jap game for it. I need to get some more to justify my decision to mod the system...

    yeah

    yeah, better buy Japan or NTSC-J than the Asian version.

    I think developers are fighting a losing battle with this "Asian" issue. Even when they release as "Asian" version with all those cut downs, people there still don't buy original games :)

    when it says "Asian" they really meant those South East Asian countries, like Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, HK, Indenosia, Brunei etc.

    And we all know nobody buys original games there, except maybe in HK and Singapore.

    what region are these Asian PS2 games coded for? Do they work on Japanese systems only or is there a specific region code (and hence PS2 models) for them?
