Btw...why would i need a modchip? For playing import/backup games? Is that all it does? I just read here on ATOT that there's a DIVX player, assuming you have a mod chip installed.

I've done the install for the mod chip that lets you play imports. I think that's the Neo(?) chip? Supposedly the hardest one to install. After doing it I can see why.

ps2ownz.com has a nice forum. if you want to play divx in all it's glory, the xbox can do it w/ a little tweaking.

I'm looking at the magic 2 too, but to play US games instead since I have a Japanese PS2.

The look of disappointment on my hallmates faces when they asked me if they could borrow my PS2 and I say yes but it won't play US games was quite priceless though. (and no, I didn't like them too much)

I don't know of any previews on the game, I'm just hoping it's like the arcade counter-part, which it should be. :D

Item Initial D: Special Stage [JPN]
Publisher Sega
Synopsis Preorders for the Japanese Playstation 2 game Initial D: Special Stage ship automatically on March 27, 2003.

Powered by Naomi 2 in the coin-op, Sega chooses the PS2 to represent the home conversion of Inital D: Special Stage. Choose any one of the anime rocket racers as your protagonist and compete against rivals on four different mountain courses ranging from the beginner Myogi level to the expert Happogaharai night level. Vehicles from Japanese manufacturers such as Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi, Mazda and Subaru may be chosen as your mountain hugging ride.

That's from ncsx.com :)

But March is sooo far from now.. :( I've already spent close to $40 on the arcade game.. lol
