captainmed Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 I bought a slimline PS2 a while ago from Tesco for the kids. Am i right in assuming that it will not play "copy" games as i am waiting for some of my work colleagues to return from China with a bucket load which cost less than ??1 each. Can someone let me know. Thanks You.
Casino Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 check the link i put up if your serial number corresponds, then theres a product available which should allow you to play 'back-ups' of games you already own
derek smalls Posted December 1, 2004 Author Posted December 1, 2004 not recommended to chip ps2 as it causes some kind of problem that burns the laser out quickly. casino-youre right about the fault on the slimline model, they recalled a lot of stock but sony are still saying they will get supplies out to shops pre-christmas. just for the record we got one from big w but they`ve none left again now
HomerJay Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 not recommended to chip ps2 as it causes some kind of problem that burns the laser out quickly. then buy a new ps2 with the ??100's uve saved on games...
Traf Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Try www.ps2backups.co.uk I take it you've used these? 6 quid per disc...not bad! I buy then for my lad all the time. Latest releases on top quality Verbatim discs that don't burn your laser out. 10 % off and free recorded delivery if you spend over ??60 and they deliver next day. If you buy copies on cheap discs. your laser will eventually burn out, but it only costs ??50 for a new laser ie less than the RRP of two games! DISCLAIMER FOR HAPPY' S BENEFIT: I ONLY BUY BACKUPS OF GAMES I ALREADY OWN OF COURSE. I MUST REMIND YOU ALL THAT IT IS ILLEGAL TO USE COPIES OF GAMES YOU DON'T ALREADY OWN THE ORIGINAL TO. Not that anybody on here would condone software piracy! We don't want Sony suing Happy like the Coventry chairman is suing Rivals, do we?
Horwich Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 one selling for a grand on e-bay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...8151437789&rd=1
Smiley Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Missus is in panic mode now. 23 days to go. Still no PS2. Choices: a) buy little girl something completely different give her vouchers and tell her to wait until January when large department stores (that advertise and promise products they cannot deliver on) may or may not have them in stock c) give her a clementine and a sock full of pick n' mix
Darwen Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 i would get her a x-box i think there alot better than a ps2 but the quite chunky so if its for someone under the age of 11 they might findit hard to hold the controller as there rather big
Horwich Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 they are selling them on the game website. they are only selling them with a game bundle and its about 200 quid.
Traf Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 I'll sell you one for ??200. Brand new, still in its box. See, you could have bought one off me! They're going for silly money on eBay now. Good job I bought some in the summer, once I heard about the burn-out problems in the new slimline version. Good old eBay, you can't knock it, can you Widnes?
