they are a right bitch to solder in,
i did my mates one for a few pints! he got the better deal.
if u are not good with the soldering iron i'dget it done from a shop.
you have little margin for error when chippin the ps2.

wouldnt bother to chip the ps2, yea ive heard their a bastard to solder and ive heard most chipped ps2's pack up within a year of chipping it. They not the most realiable thing with out even chipping them!
Best thing to chip is with out doubt the xbox, they are quite easy to chip and will never pack up.

Unless you have a soldering bit like a pin and very steady hands you've got no chance. I tried the messiah and it was very hard to do. Had to get a pro in the end.
