Japanese PS2

Alright, I'd like some input.
Should I get a Japanese PS2? The one I had in mind if i do is this one
I'd be getting it entirely for the Japanese games I had my eyes set on (Macross, Initial D, Evangelion 2 *massive drool*)
So, is it worth $269 for the system, and $59 per game? The system would come with GT4: Prolouge edition, so at least i'd have something to play until I can save up for another game (see first on list: Evangelion 2)

Also is lik-sang a reputable site?

Not the great gaming person but thats a purty colour. Is it the same thing as PS2, only in Japanese version or what?

Mod chip. It works and saves money. That's what I've got.

Unless they do what they did with PS1 and start programming it into games so you can't play them if you have a modchip. Then you're screwed.

New modchips come out every few months so they can bypass that kinda thing.

Well, My family already has a US Ps2, so if I need to play any US games i'd just borrow the family one.
And i talked it over with my mom for her advice, and she said to get the Japanese one, since there would still be a warranty on it. Plus it's limited edition "ceramic white" Winter racing Edition.

Also, there's no guaratees with a modded PS2, plus where to find one to begin with (my soldering skills are <0, meaning I can't install a chip myself)

(Evangelion 2 was a BIG factor in deciding to get a Japanese PS2

)

And if I want to play US games when I go to college in about a year, aren't the prices of US Ps2s dropping almost everday? (or so it seems, especially when a new system is introduced)

I've had to get two modded PS1's because they kept updating the anti-mods; the old one wouldn't let me play DDR. If I had a choice between a modded PS2 and an actual Japanese PS2, I'd be tempted to get the Japanese PS2 for Japanese PS2 games, PS1 games, and DVDs.

My idea exactly.
