Well...I got my PS2 back from Bill at freedomlives.com and have been burning games with my shiny new A04 and everything is working really well. DVD-video skips (or at least Chasing Amy did...think I'll see if others do ) so I'm thinking i need to put that capacator on the s line. But I can do that myself since all i have to deal with is the wire and not soldering directly onto the board or chip right? Anyway, I wanted to say that I talked to Bill on the phone before sending my system and he was very nice, and he got the work done quickly, for a reasonable price, and the shipping USPS was pretty cheap. He gets my vote of confidence so if you need a chip installed in the US and are scared to send your system off, New Age PSX /is/ reliable
