Modded ps2 or xbox

can anyone help me find a shop that sells either a modded PS2 or XBox, preferably in Taichung?

Thanks in advance.

I know places in taipei. just go to some places and ask (not big stores). otherwise let me know if you’re making a trip to taipei and I’ll check to see if they’re still doing it.

I don’t really know the market here, but I’d be very surprised if you found a retailer who sells pre-modded consoles.

thanks! how much do pre-modded machines cost?

I just saw Xboxes(non-mod) being sold at the 3C on Fushing rd for just under $6000. I don’t know where one would go to get an Xbox chiped here though. I imagine that there are places. Of course I’m assuming that modifying Xboxes is like moding DVD players.

Sorry for sidetracking a bit but what is a moded xbox? What kind of mods are made? The only thing I can think of is moding the system so that it can play any region dvd disk encoding.

That and it’ll play copied games (you know, back ups). Xbox’s can also be used for watching Divx movies. You also put games on the harddrive and not use the CD (after modding I believe, not before). People have even turned them into linux servers.

The majority of people want to play coppied games I guess.

Eons ago I got my modded xbox imported from the States even though the company I bought it from told me the delay in my box being sent over to Taiwan was due to the Taiwan mod chip supplier, whom they buy their chips from, being slow in their delivery. I’d been into the computer market plenty of times and found people who’d mod a PS2 but not one who could mod an xbox, let alone sell the chip. Go figger. Maybe times have changed. This is going on 2 years ago.

  2. Play pirated dvd’s a lot
  3. play regular dvd’s a lot (i thought it’s designed to play dvd’s as well? but some ppl say it’s not good it you watch too many movies)

    People just say that. But I personally would rather use a Cheap DVD player to watch DVD’s then my Xbox/PS2. It just wears the motor down faster if you watch DVD’s on it. I believe pirated games might be a little harder on it because it’s has to work harder reading it.

Don’t worry, just use it how you use it, just don’t abuse it. I’ve had my PS2 for over 2 years and used it as my DVD player back home.
