I ll get it in a few days but i still didn't buy the magic Swap . I live and europe and i have to import it too.I was searching on a few sites and they said i have to buy A combo of Swap Magic and slide card but then i saw that for the 2 newest versions of the playstation 2 (v9 and v10) i need a combo of flip top and swap magic . With this combo u HAVE to take the console apart .. so i m asking u is it really necessary to buy the flip top or could the slide card work ???thx in advance
