Anyone know if they still exist? Called them today and got the message the number doesn't work/disconnected. Tried just before to make sure I wasn't dreaming and got the same message.

So that brings me to my next question, anyone know a place in Brisbane that sells PS1/PS2 -> USB connections? I've found an Aussie site online which I'll use if there's nowhere local.

Thanx.

Yeah, I saw that Spook. Doesn't say they're closing but it looks like it.

This is what I was looking at sc00bs. Hopefully it's not the one you bought. Haha.

The guy was bit of a toss pot though, used to rock around in his BMW, or maybe it was a benz? Is that the guy?

Thanx Ticman. That place has them and a s***load of other cool stuff.

EDIT: One more thing. Is that an online only store? Can't seem to find any info regarding fone numbers and address.

Rev,

I have one of those here in stock ($20)

I'm in milton and the more I sell today, the less I need to count tomorrow.

If your interested you can email at fiksilver@hotmail.com

I use one of them at home, they aren't bad, but you need to use it with a good quality PS2 controller.

Cheers

Greg

I got my XBox chipped at Blade about 18 months ago.
Yeah one of the guys used to rock around in his Beemer and was a bit of a wanker. He used to come into the video store I worked at and wanted to fight one of the guys who worked there at one stage. I won't put his name up but yeah, his d******* factor was in the red.
The other guy had a kind of male version of Tomb Raider thing going on for a while. Super friendly and helpful in a nerdy kind of way. Kind of out there but reasonably harmless as far as I could see.
So they closed down huh? I always wondered how they stayed open as long as they did...

Blade earnt a bad rep for charging top dollar for budget chips and it ran their name through the mud.

That said, there isn't much of a market for modding anymore is there? doesn't seem to be as prevalent with the 360
