i just want to play backups on my ps2

A junk board would definitely be the best place to hone your skills, but if you can't get a PS2 mobo to practice on, get a relatively new video card or PC motherboard. I initially practiced on a Trident 4MB video card which had chip legs and points that were a whole lot bigger than the ones you'll see on a PS2 motherboard so imagine my surprise when I finally got around to opening the PS2.

If you have experience rebuilding a 1.6's LPC as well as some patience, then you should do alright with a PS2. Just use thinner solder with the AWG30 wire, and ensure each end is making good contact. The Xbox is seemingly bulletproof to modding, but the PS2 is like a rape victim in a mosh pit.
