lateralus Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Hi pals My brother just bought a ps2 to go away with to uni. Wondered if there was anyone on the island who does this. I vaguely remember someone having a link in their signature about it. any ideas? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 If he's going away to Uni he would be far better off taking it with him and getting it chipped while he's there - he will then have some form of guarantee (usually about three months after installation). That's what I'd do anyway :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 There's at least two people on the forum that do this. Devil is one, I can't recall the other one though. I'm sure they'll all pop up in here soon enough though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ans Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Devil does Xboxes. Tree does PS2. Obs: It's illegal. What gurantee can you get for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Obs: It's illegal. What gurantee can you get for that? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I didn't say it was a legally binding guarantee - just indicated a degree of after sales service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 So what recourse would you have if they turned round and told you to gets tuffed? I could offer you a 10 year gurantee on it, because I know I wouldn't have any legal obligation to honour it. Not worth the paper it's scribbled on. Your suggestion to have it done away is good though, he can turn up to any computer fair and have it done on a stall for a cheap price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 So what recourse would you have if they turned round and told you to gets tuffed? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Obviously none - but equally, a possible route to a positive outcome is better than none at all and I think most who made a point of offering it would do their best to uphold it. Certainly better than letting someone tinker with it over here, then drag it a hundred miles or so, only for it to possibly go tits up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doh. yer it is illegal now and the places i used 2 get chips from have all stopped selling them. so yer search across on the mainland. good luck with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Yo, Yep i only do xbox's and PS2 chipping is illegal. a mate might have some ps2 chips tho but i doubt it. It would propably mean making your own chip, if you wanted your ps2 chipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uni Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Why not just use a Gameshark/ActionReplay ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
