Which system would you go with?

Im currently looking at purchasing a pre-modded PS2 system. One system is a brand new V12 PSTwo slimline with a Matrix infinity chip (laser fix installed). The other is a used model # 39001 V7 with DuoS2 Modchip. Normally I'd get the new system, but being able to add a HDD to the older system and store my backups on the drive sounds good. I've read about about the Matrix infinity chip and it looks like a good chip. Dont know anything about the DuoS2 chip though.

Any suggestions?

due to a hack by automan there is a kit called HDconnect made by team extender which will also allow the installation and use of a hard drive on the slimline ps2.

I would personally go with the v7 with Duo 2 SE. v7 should still have a good laser and hdd is a must if you're impatient and you can't wait for things to load. You can upgrade the Duo 2 SE to the Matrix Infinity or Crystal chip if you have a little money to spare.

I would go with the V7 system. It should be cheaper for one since the Duo2SE isn't as nice a chip as MI.... but chips are easy to replace one installed. Also you do NOT have to worry about your laser in the V7.

Buying a hard drive will mean having to buy a network adapter, btw.

I'm just not sure about the v12s.... a friend of mine once left his old style ps2 on for 2 WEEKS straight because he didn't have a memory card to save his progress on call of duty... would a v12 have been able to handle that? (i don't know)

Yes but you gotta have some extensive soldering skills correct? Not to mention you have to house the static sensitive hdd... where as it sits inside the PS2...

go with the v7..its the one system that many people agree on to be the "best"..as for the duo2se, its a very solid chip..the only downside is that it lacks the Dev mode and the automatic media recognition functionality that the infinity and other high tier chips have

Like everyone else said, go with the Version 7 and the upgrade to a Infinity if thats what you want!

The Duo2SE is still an excellent chip though...
