    Hey guys I'm looking at purchasing a V4 from my local EB (in Australia) now I'm wondering if I should go ahead and get this even though I don't particularly know how old or how abused the laser would be.
    EDIT: I forgot to add specifically that it has a 35002 Serial.

    Or is it much more worthwhile looking around for a V7 or V9/V10?

    I am looking at getting it modded if that counts for anything.

    Thanks guys.

    Thanks for the replies, I finally found me a V7 - Yay!!!
    It's got a 39002 serial. Just one thing though, the dvd tray doesn't come out 100% smoothly. When opening, towards the end of the full open I can notice a bit more friction at that part and it makes a weird noise.

    That is normal wear and tear of the ps2. Nothing to worry about.
