I am curious as to which reliable merchants/sources
exist for PSX and PS2 mod chips in the US?

Thanks!

I got my mod at www.consolesource.com very reliable, cheapest price I could find, too. I even received it in less time than they estimated, whenever I get a ps2, I'm probably gonna get a mod from them once again.:D

Moving this to consumer's opinion.

I always get my chips from www.gamegizmo.com I bought 4 chips from them and never had any trouble.shipping was always very fast.

Thanks guys!
I now just need to figure out which chip is the easiest to use
for my backups.
