Playstation 2...

[sillybilly]

Hi all...

I will only be in Bangkok for a couple days late November and just wanted to know the best place to buy a chipped playstation 2 and games... Plus whatever else I may need for it. memory card etc?

Any idea on what the cost is too?

I want to be able to give it to my brother as a birthday present so I would try to get as many games as I can...

Place I go to in Fortune Town is 70 baht per game (on the 4th floor at the escalators).

I got my PS2 chipped in Fortune Town too.

Fortune Town is no more than a 10-15 min taxi ride from where you are.

Do they still sell stuff at Pantip Plaza? Might be easier for you if they do.

[mrtingtong]

Yeah they do, once you manage to fight your way past the husslers trying to flog porn.

I hope we are not discussing buying "pirated" games here.

If you're staying Pratunam just go to Pantip. You can probably walk there in about 5 minutes. They have everything you need.

This sounds like a great deal... Was that with a chip?? And any chance you could provide some easy directions to Mabookhlong. Was there a special shop that was easy to find??

I am in Chiang Mai at the moment and can get a cordlesc control for about 490BHT Is this a good price??

Thanks everybody for thier imput...

Yes.

MBK is Mabooklong. The shop is on the 4th floor near the escalators. Cardless control for 490 Baht is a good price. If I can find the business card at home, will give the shop's detail tomorrow.
