My dad insisted that my PS2 should be modded but I knew that copied game discs are of poor quality and usually stop working after a short while.

I told him of my fear with quality problems but no, he insisted on modding.

Well my PS2 that I owned at that point was apparently too old a model to be modded so my dad had to get me a new PS2. Then he had to get it modded and the price to get it modded was at around half the price of the PS2 itself.

Then I bought three copied games from the guy who modded my new PS2 and as I predicted, two weeks later one of my games stopped working. The reflective layer started to become discolored.

So with this ammunition I put my foot down and I told my dad that from then on he will buy me official games no matter what the price, and so it was.

Two years after that my modded PS2 broke and now I have a beautiful unmodded slim PS2 with 20 official games. Unfortunately I was only able to get the official version of one of the copied games I had, so two games I enjoyed are now lost to me forever Fortunately the game whose official version I was able to obtain is one of my most favourite games

I will also never have one of my consoles modded again.
