Getting a PS2 soon. Need help

mod chips wear out your laser but if u wanna play games that what ya gotta get

[abu_has_the_power]

wtf? how the hell does a mod chip wear out your laser? it has nothing to do with your laser. it doesn't even come in contact with you laser

i just did some research on forums.afterdawn.com

burned games wear out your laser, but only if you use cheap media. i'm buying premium dvdr's. Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim. i might get verbatim with advanced azo from best buy just because i have a $25 gift card from there and i have to do something with it
