For those of you folks that love video games and like to buy a lot of games specially, you might be interested to check this out. How many of you have heard about "modding your consoles"? Like have your PS2 or Xbox 360 modded to play pirated games?
If you don't know what this is, here's the explanation in brief. "A modchip (short for modification chip) is a small electronic device used to modify or disable built-in restrictions and limitations of many popular videogame consoles. It introduces various modifications to its host system's function, including the circumvention of region coding, digital rights management, and copy protection checks for the purpose of running software intended for other markets, copied game media, or unlicensed third-party (homebrew) software." - Wikipedia
So basically, what a mod chip manfacturers are trying to say is, if you can burn your ps2 games from a friend or from the store, or buy boot legs for $2, why not do just that instead of pay $50 for it? They are trying to getg you to buy there product, yet, you as consumer, technically will be saving LOTS of money in the future with this investment as you will not be spending the bulk on buying games anymore.
The website I came across is modchipstore.com
They currently have modchips for all video game consoles except the PS3. Let's see how long they take to figure out one for that.

This is crazy?! What a marketing scheme...that being said, I'm forwarding this message to my brother..
For the Dreamcast (R.I.P.), my favorite video game system ever, you don't even need to install a mod-chip in order to play burned games. You can just burn an image file onto a CD-R and boot it right up. Even though there are no new Dreamcasts or Dreamcast games being made, there's still a large online Dreamcast torrent swapping community.
