Swap Magic 3.0 News:

You need the Swap Magic 2.0 to use the Flip Top Cover, No-Solder-Mod
Chip and Slide Card and when they finally come out with the Swap Magic
3.0 it will fix the 650 limit so you can do ripping and also work with
the new 5000X units. But although supposed to be out this month will not
be for another 1 to 2 months. Count on 2 months or more as they keep
pushing the release date. Although the 3.0 for the CD PAL is out, they
don't have the 3.0 for the PAL DVD and they may come out soon with the
USA CD. But most all games and the good ones are on the DVD. And then
again, once they come out with both CD and DVD on one package, you will
wind up having to buy it all over again anyways. Just get the 2.0 pack
and wait until the FULL CD and DVD come out. It sounds like some
marketing ploy to just release the CD 3.0 and not the DVD 3.0 and you wind up
buying the DVD 2.0 that you already own. They don't sell it sparely. If
they did then I could trust it is not a marketing ploy. You think?
We are now stocking the 2.0 but purchasing in smaller quantity until
they come out with the 3.0. Any pre-orders we take for the 3.0 will not
be charged until we know for sure we can get the 3.0 with both CD 3.0
and DVD 3.0 versions.

Some more features of SM 3.0 provided by saveware.com.......

Here is some information on the new Swap Magic 3.

German, Italian, Korea.

If the Swap Magic 3.0 requires a no-solder modchip, then why isnt ps2cover.com saying anything of that nature, and keep selling the 3.0 w/ no mentions of a no solder modchip? They just state requirement of a fliptop or a slide card.

I hope the swap magic DVD comes out soon.
