Undercover my @$$...

[Andromeda18_]

I only use my "swap discs + slide card" to play original games that aren't PAL. Games are on sale in the US much sooner than they are here, not to mention you lucky guys have a wider variety of games. I only play RPGs and since I love RPG's I need to have the original version and not some ugly backup. If it wasn't for the swap dics+slide card I wouldn't have been able to play FFX-2 International.
It's very easy to get a ps2 modded here because Portugal is a paradise for piracy but I can tell you that I've seen people having more trouble with mod chips than with the slide card. Also, if you use a slide card you won't void your warranty.

kakoi_sugoi_yama, here's a website that's selling the swap discs+slide card for a good price:
