    Importing questions (NTSC > PAL)

    Was wondering, for anyone who's imported a lot of games for the PS2 what you use to play them? I don't really want to get a mod chip on my PS2 so I was wondering if there is another way?

    Also, for FFXI I got mine from America (orignal+cop) and was wondering if I get this expansion too would I need to get it from America as well?

    Yeah don't bother with the slide card, it'll mess your system up. Mod chip is the way to go, or do what I did and get 3 PS2s all different region (although I have 2 JPs, 1 US and no PAL, cuz PAL is fucking horrible).

    I don't think US PS2s or JP PS2s cost much nowadays, you could prolly get one cheap on ebay.

    When the dev's actually take their time and enhance it for PAL, it ends up better looking than NTSC, due to PAL's higher screen resolution. For games that can wait, I get the PAL version, for games I cant wait, I buy the NTSC version, well for cube anyway. I have a disc for my GC that makes it multi-region, shame there isnt one for PS2.

    I guess NA PS2's would be cheaper here, I wonder how much Computer Exchange will sell one for? Although the Gameshark thing would be worth looking into, but it's kinda a waste when you don't import.

    You can't buy the EU version of ToAU... because it doesn't exist. FFXI was never released on Europe on the PS2 since the HDD is nowhere near as widespread as it is in USA. Also, the slimline PS2 was released before (I think) the HDD, hence not being widespread.

    ToAU is coming out on PC the same day as in the US, just not on PS2.

    Yeah I know, but I play FFXI on PC anyway, the PS2 thing was just for games like KH2 and Xenosaga and other American games the UK will never see but I really wanna play.
