    Default Cheapest place to get Swap magic?

    Hi I need help on finding the cheapest place to get Swap Magic. I'm going to borrow my cousins ps2 and I don't want to mod it becuase I want to play games like Final Fantasy X without having to mod it. What place is the cheapest to get it? If this is the wrong section to post please forgive me.

    You still need to do some minor modding to it if your using swap magic. Of all the places I found, Estarland seemed to be the cheapest overall I could find but it took over a month to get here =/ I ended paying about 29 usd, with slide card

    Well my cousin has the ps2 slim and I heard the magic switch isn't hard to install. Also I live in Canada so it would help if people post Canadian websites.

    Agreed, Free MCBoot is the way to go if your not gonna chip it, those Swap Magic's especially the ones for the original PS2's are just asking for trouble down the line

    I had a swap magic, i broke, not becuase it was of poor qaulity, but becuase it didnt work.

    Why dont you just ask him if he wants to go halfs in one of those memory card hacks? i mean, whos going to turn down free games...

    you must of had a faulty one, eStarland will replace it if its faulty, Swap magic is burned a special way to trick the PS2 into loading it, hence the rings on the bottom.

    Swap magic is the easiest way to install free mcboot too.

    My cousin doesn't have a official sony memory card, so no FCMB for me. But I might just buy my own PS2 off ebay since they are pretty cheap.

    The codebreaker method seems the easiest so where to get Codebreaker?
