PS2 Imports on a PAL system

[MikeF]

I have recently bought a brand new PAL v10 PS2.

What is the best method available for me to play import games on it other than a mod chip.

I don't really want to void the warranty just yet.

Unless things have changed recently, there are only two ways to play import games on a PS2, Mod Chip or Disk Swap (via a flip lid - crap IMO). Both invalidate your warranty.

You can get a slide card for the SwapMagic boot discs, you need to remove the front of the DVD tray but this doesn't void your warranty as you don't have to open the console and break the warranty sticker

Haven't got one myself though so check out http://www.swapmagic3.com/ for more info on the discs and slide tool (the flip-top lid is on there too)
