Hi guys my brother works on ships and is currently dry docking in Malaysia.. he called me up the other day to ask the price of a PS2 here in India... he is getting the same there for 200 USD... but now when it costs 10k here I feel I should prefer Alfa for the buy soulds a good deal....how many days of warranty does the Alfa guy offer?? does he sell the unit with the so called chip installed?? let me know please I am keen to buy it now...

Shantanu: how much does the steering wheel/joystick in the picture cost??

I know, I am talking OFF topic.

Please bear with me.
I have PS1. It is not reading any CD's. It is modded.
When I took to a local repair shop, it seems laser lens is not reading and need to change. is there any place in BLR or else where I can get this Lens?

thank you.

Hey,

NTSC PS2 will work on any tv that can accept a NTSC input, which is pretty much all new TVs.
I dont know abt the games themselves (different regions?), or even if thats an issue?
