I have some questions about getting a Chipped PS2.
1. How much would it cost?
2.Where would you go to get it done?
3.What does it do?
4.Would it play a NTSC Suikoden III?
That's all!

1. It depends on what chip you use. They aren't 'that' expensive in the long run.
2. That all depends on where you live. I know there are many places that do it here in Australia. Look through a local trading post publication.
3. Again, it depends on the chip. Generally it will allow you to play NTSC games and copied 'backups'.
4. Depending on the chip, yes.

Thats not entirely true at all you need to get a dependable mod and if thats what you want i recomend http://www.universalvideogames.com They sell chips,premodded systems, games all that good stuff. But saying that'll it'll break after two months means you bought a piece of well you know what. But wasting money i dont think so. You really never have to buy another game again, simply rent from a local store pop it into your burner a voila a game for the price of a rental. Plus enabling you to play all the great games in japan they never made it to america such as the gaidens. So if you want to be fully satisfied with your system i recomend a chip.
Even at his most powerless, man's existence is never without meaning.

I have a chipped PS2, which I bought for playing SIII when it came out, and been using it ever since, and it has worked perfectly with all my games, PAL and NTSC...
So it's possible to get a working PS2 with chip, but you'll need to find a good shop that makes the job, don't ever try to do it yourself, that a sureway to break the PS2.

What would you say the chances are of a chipped PS2 stuffing up? Sorry, I'm just trying to get all information possible before I buy a chip.

I can play burned games and Japanese games on my playstation 2.
I did not chip it though. I installed a flip top cover and I use Swap Magic 2 disks. I play all games fine with them. Suikoden 3 requires the swap magic fix that you can download here http://www.swapmagicfix.com/.
I use the Swap Magic disks because I don't want to sodder my PS2. ;/
