Modded PSone

[ryosnk]

My friend has a modded playstation and wants to sell it to me. He is asking $30 would that be a good price to get it at?

[greng]

If it's a new system then I guess so. Old PS1's could be well past their shelf life.

I know its old but I dont want to mod my ps2 because heck I paid $200 for it and I dont want to fool around with it. I have afew import psone games but no import system. I just would like to know if its worth it at that price.

I think it's a fair price. A used PSX at a gameshop would cost about $20 and having the mod already performed is worth the extra money. I'd say go for it - and start enjoying tons of great PSX import shooters! It's still less than the average price of a single import shooting game.

If you find a used PSX at a yard sale or similiar, it's often $10 or less but they are generally never modded already... I've found several in the $8 range that I picked up (can't have too many spare consoles...!)

Yeah trust me you don't want to fool around if you don't know how to mod a PS2, also if i were you i would save that $30 for a professional PS2 modder so that way you can play your PSX and PS2 imports,a great shmup combo

I say go for it. You won't come across PSOne systems every day, and not many people offer mod services for it any more. The compact size is great too, it's easy to carry around or fit into your entertainment space.

[SheSaidDutch]

Yeah for $30 I'd say go for it also esp since It's modded.

My friend sold me his chipped PSone for £15, i ordered Gradius Gaiden the same day!

[ryosnk]

The guy sent me an email:

Yes, it plays all backups and imports. It doesn't have a switch -- everything plays automatically. It's got the stealth mod which allows it to play even those games designed not to play when a modchip is installed, so it's perfect.


Is that good?

I think my friend has that or something similair, he doesn't use a boot disk.

$30 sounds like a fair price. If you imported a Japanese PS1, you would likely spend that much just on shipping!

Gaiden completely kicked my ass last night. I felt completely incompetent. I was struggling just to get to the first boss on 1 credit. Probably I just needed some sleep. Switched over to Parodius, and that was more my pace.

Finding a first model PSone in good condition can be hard nowadays. Make sure it's in good condition before you pay, or it might die soon, due to it's age.

I just got it and I'm playing my klonoa volleyball and fire pro wrestling G .

THat's the way EVERY PS1 is sold here in Brazil, heh

Man, that's all unbeliveable. I wish I lived in Europe sometimes.

You guys can get PSXs for US$ 20, Dreamcasts for US$ 40, Amigas for US$ 5...

a PSX here, SECOND HAND, costs around US$ 60
a Dreamcast costs US$ 100
an Amiga costs an absurd amount of money (Even just an A600 with 1mb)

Thats alot. How much would a sega master system go for?

[Shatterhand]

Old or new?

Don't forget you can still get a NEW Master System or a NEW Mega-Drive, OFICIAL products, with dozens of games in the memory and all.

A new SMS is costing around US$ 60 I think, with 66 games, if I am not mistaken

Used SMSs are like Amigas in the UK. You can get them in the bin. I've 3 SMSs, and I haven't payed a single penny for any of them.

Hey, that isn't Europe. At least in Holland people have the guts to ask 50e for a second hand PS1 or N64, Saturns are right impossible to find and when they are they're around 50, PS2 games are sold at 60e; basically, the only thing easier to come by here is Marihuana and CD-i....
