    DVD are region coded. You can play them on Zone Free players, or on your PC if you use something like DVDIdlePro

    make sure they are geinue copies as if you get caught with counterfeits you could get into loads of grief either on way out of phill, in a transit country or coming back into the uk.

    When we bought a ps2 in makati a few years back and got 15 free games we could choose free of charge all copies and the machines were chipped before you bought in the shop.

    no was left for her family

    Im no expert it would depend on the firmware on the machine i guess. I remeber having to find a phill website about ps2
    when we were looking at repairing the old one before we bought the new one. They may have expats or relatives abroad who can advise.
    Can't remeber the link but i found it fairly quickly with some basic serach words.

    We never asked for them was not taking much notice to tell the truth when we bought it. But most smaller shops chip the ps2's etc as most phills can't afford to buy them and the full price games otherwise.

    Not really into gaming so when the missus was going though the huge cd wallet of games, i didn't notice i just presumed they were with less packaging to save costs honest officer .

    The warning was more for the peeps coming to the uk for the first time as it was for richard, seen several asians when getting off cathay flights having there luggae checked by customs and seen some not realising the cd/dvd from the market not allowed in the uk

    U can have ur PS2 modified here. Thats what they did with ours, coz it was bought in the US. There r some shops that do that here.
