This is an update to the hardware to cut costs, and will be launched in Japan only initaly.
as for playing recored DVD's, my r7 PS2 playes them verywell with no need for chip's (Vid's anyway).
the improvements are only for the DVD-Video playback section - read here


As with all versons of the PSX, PS2 etc, to play copied (sorry - backed up) games a chip will be needed
