Did it require a lot of soldering? I moded my original Xbox and I think it had 7 solder points if I recall however when I looked at the chips that www.divineo.com had for the slim PS2, one of them had like 22 solder points and I was holy shit I'm not confident enough in myself to do 22 solder points.

I'll be waiting for the "slim" versions of the 360 and PS3 before picking them up. By the time they bring out the major console revisions with all the bugs worked out, the online interface for both systems will be perfected, and there will be huge bins of great used games for $10.
I recently got a slim silver PS2 + around 25 AAA quality games for $400...enough to keep me busy for a good 2 years..
It pays to stay a generation behind.
indeed, I do that too. I also enjoy to pick up tested and approved games, and avoid all the turds. I get my games for dirt cheap as well ( £3-4 average per game)

yea I modded my slim PS2 and it took me about 3 hours cause I took my damn time, hehe. Was not fun by any means but worth it. Soldering to a surface mount chip leg is a fukcing bitch! I used a stereo microscope thats at 40x magnification to do so.

God damnit dude, that sucks some serious ass. The 360 is a kickass system, but physically speaking, its an absolute piece of shit.
