Dear all,
I will be purchasing a 3-4 year old fat PS2 from a forumer, he says that it is playing CDs, DVD movies and DVD games fine. Problem here is, he doesn't know what mod chip it uses and I don't wanna end up with a troublesome machine. Does anyone have any poitners for me on what to check for the PS2? Thanks. |

QUOTE(cylon @ Mar 1 2006, 09:45 PM) If for RM 200..just do a quick grab...if more asked nicely to test it out. Hook it up to the tv, test the cd tray, test the av out, the memory card and the controller port wether those still working or not. The utmost important thing is to test some game especially DVD 9 base game like GT4 or God Of War..does it hang or does the drive makes awful sound that could probably spells for a dying lens. Remember lens are the most problematic occurance happened on the PS2 and those fat PS2 lens cost RM 300 to replace. Actually he's asking for like RM360, is it worth it? I am unfamiliar with the PS2 pricing but it seems reasonable though, however do advise if it is not.Alright, so the most important thing is to test out the games especially the new ones. Ok got that!  Anything else to look out for? Hope it turns out to be a gem. |
