Have a PS2 with a few UK games and all is well....

On return from Thailand I brought 5 games for little more than a few quid.. PS2 doesn't play them... Will be going again in Oct so wouldn't mind picking up some more...

Can I get the PS2 chipped some in Berkshire ?

I've just received a Messiah2 chip from www.playstationmods.co.uk and I'm going to install it myself. The same company offers a mail order chip install service.

p.s. we bought loads in Chaing Mai as well - what games did you bring back

I have a M8 who can chip them for £40(I think?)

ScoobySnack

WRX Wannabe..... £40 is his if he chips mine

Came back last year with Gran Turismo special, Tekken latest, MotoGP etc..

This year I'm going to buy a magazine check out the best games and bring back about 10...

Just to add.... going to Bangkok, Chang Mai and Phucket.

Seemed games were between £2 - £3? Was this what you found?

The games you are bringing back will be taken off you if customs find them.
They are 'asian silvers', good quality pirated disks.

The equivalent can probably be had down your local market for a couple of quid each.

ScoobySnack where abouts are you?

My friend lives in Milton Kyenes

Wannabe, I'm in Bracknell, but could travel up as its not too far... Does it take minutes to do ?

If not I'll just go shopping for a few hours. let me know?

ScoobyDoBlue - That may be the offical line, i'm not sure. But when I came back last time (November) I went through customs and they asked what I had in the cases... I replied less than £155 worth and split:

PS2 games x 5
Music CDs x 10
DVDs x 32
Suit Wallets&Bags x 3
Assorted clothes

He then said is it for personal use, to which I replied yes.. He motioned me through.

I know they are clamping down on fakes, but I beleive there are some rules which means they cannot take away certain items that are for personal use.

Does someone (from customs) in the know want to clarify ..

ScoobySnack i will get the details from him later and let you know

WRX Wannabe

He can do them

BUT for £60

It takes 3/4hours to do?

Or he can give you his PS2(chipped just over 1 year old) in exchange

If anyone wants more details i can provide

He can also do games?

ScoobySnack

Sounds good to me..... otherwise it will just sit there and I won't play those games

Sent you an email from my main address with my contact details..

Cheers
