Playstations, Xboxes etc for public use

Hi,

I am not sure if this is the right place to post but when I was in Majorca in the summer, we visited a number of cafes that had Playstations, Xboxes etc for public use. They were cased in and were similar to the ones that you get in Toys r us to try out new games. Does anyone know you can buy these from?

Sorry, I am so untechie -I don't even know what you would call them - any help would be gratefully recieved!

Thanks

Oh and they also had games loaded onto them without having to change discs - thats the bit I am really interested in!

Thanks

Illegal basically...

All the game CD's are copied into the xBox and instead of putting discs in, they read from the xBox directly. It's like copying a CD to your computer and then selling it. They probably copied the game and then sold it off/returned it!

It uses a ModChip to let them do this, and they have just been banned in the UK (well last year sometime!)

look @ the word "chipped" this means modified to play copies of games . sony and microsoft are not really too happy with anyone modifing their original firmware to such an extent they will via a copyright theft fine you so be warned i guess most mse's wont be using pirate games . but on a legal side you also see those cases for the ps2 etc in some pubs so ask the landlord where they get them from
