I swear, some of these supposedly technical people... Dont bother listening to him, all he knows is how to chip the damn thing. No it doesnt shorten the lifespan of the laser but it does make the drive spin faster. If you are really picky about it then you can say yes it shortens the life of your PS2. Mine is bordering on 6 years old, played plenty of PS1 games and it is still going strong.

well heres advice for you, dont get your ps2 chipped coz some cd's that you can only use on chipped ps2 are reaally dodgy an thats what wrecks the laser or can wreck it an it wont play much things at all, some peopel that chip do it so badly that they eliminate other like functions like the dvd player wont work or you cant play music on it or w.e but rellly if your gonna get your ps2 chipped do it when your really sure an if you have another ps2 lol, i dunno if thats the same anywer else but thats how it is over here so
