Does anyone else remember the joy of going to a state fair, or local games market/festival/convention to gave their PS/2 modded to play international games? Anyone remember region locking?

Fun times.

I can't remember what I had to do to get modded firmware on my ps2 but I put a 80gb hard drive in it and everything was awesome.

Hell ya! I have a hard drive in mine too. There are definitely modchips on the market to get the hard drive to work, but the easiest way (and what I did) is to just use a memory card with some custom software on it called McBoot

You don't need a modchip to get a HDD to work, you can flash the drive with FreeHDBoot and just plug it in to the PS2.

Also their emails always point out "if you feel this is a fraudulent purchase please call to cancel"

No real email receipts ever say that.

There's a theory that it's deliberate. People who immediately notice it require more effort to scam, whereas people who don't are easier marks.

It’s kind of a shame. I take it as a sign of the times, with non-portable consoles slowly losing their grip on relevance. I think they’ll be around for a long time, but it would be terrible to witness the death of the console during my lifetime.

Why? In the past, consoles where their own, distinct thing. Nowadays, they are just locked-down PCs.
