PS2 question
My PS2 is chipped so should it be able to play US original games? I have a $50 amazon.com voucher that doesn't look like it can be spent on amazon.co.uk so want to buy GT4 for $49 and get it shipped to my office over there then shipped to me here, its out on Feb 22nd :norty: :D No point buying it though if it wont work, im sure it will being chipped but thought i'd better check!
|
if your ps2 is chipped ? why are you buying a new ps2 game ? get a backup and buy a book ;)
|
If its chipped then it should play imports fine. After all, thats what they're for, right ? ;)
|
Good game though :)
Well japanese version is :D |
Well got the other 3 originals so might as well get the 4th and its free if I use my voucher and cheaper than the UK version at $49 :D Otherwise i'd have to find something else to buy for $50 and get shipped from work.

There's lots of rumours going about that chipped PS2's won't play GT4, due to the chip not being able to read the dual-layer dvd games that are now appearing (GT4 being the first I think)
I looked into this as I fancied an import version of GT4, but the only chip guaranteed to work with GT4 was £80, so it was gonna be more worthwhile buying a slimline jap PS2 instead... ...I decided to just wait until March 9th until PAL version is launched... |
Thats not good news! So if I buy a US orginal version of GT4 it is unlikely to play on my chipped UK PS2?
|
So if you get your PS2 chipped it will NOT play an original PAL version of GT4 was gonna get mine chipped this week maybe not is the true ?

They do release new ways to stops chips and it is the gran truismo games that do it first, so do some research before buying. |
The problem is with copies of the DVD9 game. It should work fine.
|
I did a bit of research on gtplanet.net when I was considering getting mine chipped. There had been instances in Japan where some modified PS2's wouldn't run GT4, even though it was a Jap PS2 playing a Jap disc. The latest chips should be OK.
|
if its chipped (your ps2) then get a copy(of gt4) then back it up with a patch then it will work fine
|
Er . . . yeah . . . simple as that :rolleyes:
Show me a working DVD-R backup of GT4 and I'll show you my third testicle. |
lol @ DJ Junk! :D
An original game will work fine..... mine is modded and plays the Jap GT4 fine. The problem is that the PS2 (and I think it's a laser problem) will not read a dual layer DVD+R disk. Regards, Shaun. |
Its 'Dunk' . . . plebmaster ;)
|
LOL :D
So is it dependant on how old your PS2 is? |
