I noticed mine done this when a mate brought some DVD's back from Hong Kong. He was told later that alot of the DVDs on sale in Hong Kong are actually region 0 which will play on any DVD player.

you dont need to get it chipped for it to play other region dvds. just get yourself a region x disk.
and copied dvds (dvd-r) work fine on them too without any modifications or chips

Hong Kong + Region 0 = pirate copy most of the time.
However, sometimes it's the only way to get anime with english (fansub) subtitles.

cost around £50 depending on what version ps2 mainboard you have
they can fuck up but i know loads of people that have had no problems. plus the games are dirt cheap then so its worth the risk as the consoles are pretty cheap nowadays
