Playing imports on old PS2

[gmfuss]

I am soon going to get my hands on a PS2. I never felt the need to buy one, what with all the other systems I own, but I have the chance to aquire one from a work friend of my old lady real cheap, and figured I can get some use out of it playing some of the imports out there. What is the best way to play imports, is there a disk ot there, or does it have to be modded internally. If so, are there any reputable places or members here that can do it. It should be a simple mod, I only want to play imports, not copies or anything, but I am not good with the sodering so dont ever want to risk it with my systems. Any ideas?

I have the $18 version and it works like a charm. Of course the swap disk is extra.

Yeah, I have been use to slide card and the swap magic disk to play imports on my backup PS2 for almost two years now. I have not had any problems with the drive as of yet and the PS2 is launch model.

The Magic Switch thing looks nice--no need to open the PS2 up or anything.

Anyone have experience with this thing?

You have to leave the PStwo cover open while your playing the game, and you can't close it.
