hi guys, is this a good deal or not?

was quoted RM460 with the following:
1 x PS2 console w/ all the cables
1 x original controller
1 x non-original controller
1 x memory card 8mb
15 x dvd games

Different mod chip, different method to play ps1. Try pressing the restart button twice. Or ask for assistant from your local gameshop.

Bro,

I have 90006 model too. And to play ps1 games, heres what i do:
- Switch ps2 on.
- Dont insert CD.
- Wait till the browser finish loading.
- insert PS1 cd.
- Press the power/restart button TWICE in quick succession.
- PS1 game loads.

It plays just fine.

p/s: Though, mind you I tested using my MGS cd1 (original NTSC/UC). Dont have any of the games you mentioned above.

^ have you tried other discs? or this only happens with your FF XII disc?

this is ori or ahem disc?

definitely worth it if you havent owned 1 yet. i just got the slim last month at RM450. Now maybe can get more cheaper now. below 400+

i think both no prob as long as you make sure ur mod chip can detect it

er.. dunno.. maybe that's how to activate the ps1 modchip inside the modded ps2

Looks like a good deal..

But wow... You're willing to pay Rm600 for that?

Respect:

At first, I thought it was kinda steep but i just noticed u put 2xcontrollers (ori)

nonetheless, just for comparison, i bought a ps2 not too long ago for rm450 at Holiday Plaza.
1 x console (scph-90006CB)
1 x original controller
1 x original memory card 8mb
10 x copy games

an additional ori controller shouldn't make the price go over RM550.
and, those "games" should be free.

maybe the shop already counted the tshirt?

AND do you really need the bag? for travel i assume?

Try nego some more. Where is the shop? if you dun mind me asking

So this shop is in Batu Pahat la then?

If it is, then I really don't have any experience with them because the price I got my PS2 was from a shop in JB.

Maybe BP shops sell higher than here in JB.

Whatever it is, I feel RM600 is kinda high la. Even for an extra ori controller + bag. And those games should be free.

Try and nego some more. Good luck!

Yup, really made in china. Even PS3 also. They're all manufactured there. Perfectly fine.

Why? Worried about the H1N1 har?

RM15 - Sony ciplak wan

Hmm..

Not too sure.. RM50 - RM80 maybe?

But difference is little to none

Go and ask all gameshops available here

correct me if i'm wrong but mgs2 doesn't need dual layer dvd, single layer is enough

Component cable improve PS2 graphics a lot. I bought one recently for RM20 (Sony copy wan) and pair it with SDTV. I notice graphics in MGS2 is far more sharp and brighter. Especially during the plant chapter.

But if you pair it with an HDTV, make sure to adjust it to 4:3 resolution or else you will get blocky and squished down graphics.

It seems pricing in the northern region still not drop yet.

In JB, PS2 + 2 controller (local) + 10 games (roughly) + 1 mem (unsure ori/local) RM399 only.

Hi bro, just to suggest for you, Play-Asia also has component cable for PS2/PS3. They're cheap and good with free shipping summore!

To improve graphics quality on the PS2, you should really connect it to your 50" LCD TV using component cable.

The cable looks like this

If you want the best (and cheapest) component cable, I suggest you buy it online right here. They are with free delivery some more
