WOW! thats nearly as easy as 'backing up' a pc game !

All i need now is a pre-chipped PS2, and a dvdwriter...

hmm...

anyone know if chipping ps2's is still legal in the uk ?

Original game + backup = legal
Copied game on its own (you do not own the original) = illegal

Definitely NOT everywhere, and not that simple... After all you do NOT own any of your games (almost), you are just granted the permission to use/play them!

@ psx paul

There is NO law in the UK that says U can make a copy for your own use

BUT

There is NO law that says U cant

so we in UK are in limbo but it is generally accepted U can back your own stuff up

as far as i know POACHER backups for personal use are acceptable so long as you own the original been a long time since i looked into the laws on that here but as far as i know they still stand as that !!? :confused:

Besides the breach of the law is not the disk itself its the duplication of the SONY logo/copywrite symbols and Trademarks mainly !?:confused: in particular the BLUE text disclaimer at the bootup of each game oddly enough !! (thats what i was told when a few friends did some time at her mage's pleasure doin porridge :( )

So if you legit own the disks u duplicate then possibly its deemed that just 1 copy is acceptable no more!
