They're exactly the same modchip and they do exactly the same thing.

Veredes,

What are you talking about? What do you mean the solderless one doesn't work and the solder one does? I have installed both chips in PS2s and yes, they do EXACTLY the same thing. Get your facts right next time o.k.

@ Yoti

Read around the net...there are just a handful of people that the solderless chips work for. Bottom line is they suck...they either dont work or they short and can kill the mobo.

My facts are just fine. I never said they are not the same chip, as they are, but the only way to install a PS2 mod chip is solder and if you want to waist $80 on the version that doesn't work, then that is your business.

Veredes,

Thanks for the info man. No doubt the solder version is way better. But I can point to lots of forums where people are having as many problems with the solder version as with the solderless version. Like I said, I've installed both types and they both work. I guess if you can't solder and you don't have the spare $$ to get the chip soldered then it's worth trying the solderless version. But you know, each to his own!
