Hie Guys, got a couple of PS2 queries because I'm thinking about purchasing one.

1) Where is a good place to buy special sets that can play just about every game on the market, including those genuine replica ones. :think:

2) I'm thinking of using the PS2 as a DVD player as well, how is the video quality and is it a good idea to use it as a DVD player ? I dont watch often, maybe once a week max.

3) Whats a good price to pay for a new moded set ? and also, for a new non mod set ?

Anyway, if anyone has one for sale, please give me a buzz at 98553899 or marcwangheng@gmail.com . I wanna buy one within the next 2 days.

Go get it in Malaysia. You can find some moded sets in Singapore but relatively speaking, it's more ex than Malaysia. Plus Malaysia has all the games you will be looking for as well.

They can mod to your specs that you want too. DVD is DVD. It's quite good quality as it has
all the function as any DVD player. Malaysia is selling about MYR900 for mod sets with 20 games free of your choice, 2 controllers, 2 x 8MB memory cards.
 

the DVD player in PS2 is suck, some of the DVD cannot play. it show tv system not match.:angry:

We do not get tax maybe only GST if the custom wants to make life difficult for you but you can ask the seller to write a receipt less than SGD400 lor. The only problem is not to bring in any pirated software as the customs will confiscate it. So beware........

I got mine with 1 game, 1 mem card + first gen mod @ $750... I still need to load my GS to swap discs... :(
 

Maybe I should wait for the launch of PS3 b4 I buy a PS2. $750 is really steep man. I just wanna play Gran Tourismo4.

Yeah I bought my PS2 set 4 years back for $850 but it was worth it as it's Japanese set, second batch run. Bigger heatsink and heavier set which has better electronics items.

Even the mod person from JB ask me where I got my set.....and he actually offered my to buy my set up! So funny......
 

Hmm, I understand JB is cheap, but I dont think I will be going there anytime soon. Anywhere else in Singapore you guys recommend to buy these specced up versions ?
 

got mine 4 yrs plus, but can't remember how much. Maybe wait for the PS3 to come out, PS2 price sure drop.

GT4 and Burnout3 rocks!!!

totally agree with you. GT4 and burnout rocks....
PS2 here is about 300 to 350 sing if i remember correctly (slim version) but just bare min. I was asking about 2nd set so didn't needed games/controllers.
Hoping to buy ps3 but i think better wait a bit or else kenna chop.
