I modded my PS1 by myself back in the day, as did one of my friends. Between us, we must have about 250 or so PS1 games.
Shortly after the PS2 came out, my buddy bought one, and ordered a chip off the net. He tried to install it himself but ended up blowing the power source. He still managed to sell it on Ebay for something like $180 US, which he put towards another PS2. This time he paid someone to install the chip for him.
I was rather amused when Sony was claiming that the PS2 was unhackable, and some kid in Hong Kong came up with a hack within minutes of getting one of the first run of PS2's home.
