Anyone know how to play US games and DVD's on a Japanese PS2?

[DrJulioFuentes]

I just got a Japanese version of the upcoming Playstation 2, and was wondering if anyone knew the codes/commands to let it play US-region games and movies. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Goto http://ps2.ign.com ,scroll down and click on the PS2 FAQ. The code unlocking the region code should be somewhere in there. As for the US games on the JAP PS2, you're SOL until someone comes out with a mod chip.
