sparky · (#1 (**permalink**))

What is the best option to play English games on my Japanese console here in Japan...PS2" that is.

Also are there any other suggestions, such as different consoles?

Thanks for the info.

Japanese PS2 Consoles aren't compatiable with English PS2, cause my Japanese PS2 can't play any english games, but my other PS2 from canada can....

, and DVD's from any region

Try this:

Amazon.co.uk: DVD Region X (PS2): PC & Video Games

This one is very good, This is the one that I use, well I have a modchip but on my second PS2 that I won, I use this one:
