Questions to those with a modded PS2

I've been thinking of modding my PS2 but I don't like the fact that you have to swap discs. Wondering if anyone can tell me...
How much did you pay?
Do you need to swap?
Where did you do it?
Is there anything you don't like about it?

there is another mod chip where you don't have to swap discs. You just put the burnt game in and play. But that one is a bit more expensive. I think around $250. You can get it done at Pac Mall.
People, correct me if I'm wrong

My buddy has a DVD burner....Future Shop, $200 rebate off reg price. Not bad. It works pretty good, but could be better. I say wait for a more advanced version. And the software that comes with it sucks ***. Nice toy if you have money to blow though.

I'd say pac mall there's a place there where my buddy got the ps2 and had it modded and got some burned games for 600 he was so happy he went back and bought 3 more (as christmas gifts). and a dvd burner is a great Idea I could have bought one from a friend for 100 bucks but I could only use a certain type of dvd ram disks but I didn';t want to be limited.

anyways on another note bbarbulo I thought you said you weren't going to be around much I'm glad to see you are still around though.. your input is always welcome
