Is there n e way of gettin a USA game to play on a UK PS2??
Would the region X disk do this or would this only make the US Dvds work?

No - Region X is for movie DVDs only, it doesn`t do anything for games.
The only solution is to get your PS2 chipped or modded in some way - ask your local dodgy dealer for advice. Make sure you get a chip which can play imports, though, as some of them only play pirate copies.

Mike thanx for the reply,
I had my last PSX Chipped (The PS1) and if I played it for to long it got to hot and the games would just stop!
Some times the games just wouldn`t play. If I get it chipped will this happen. Also I hear that the chips are difficult to put in and many things can go wrong!

The overheating was unlikely to be anything to do with the chip - unless it was installed by a monkey. If it was a 1st-generation PS1, they were prone to overheating anyway!
If you get a chip professionally installed you shouldn`t have any problems.
Yes, the PS2 chips can be very difficult to install, but again, if you get a professional to do it, it`ll be fine.
