Asus did not care that I was wrong and only wanted to make sure everything was working properly even though I was in error and not the board. Not sure if you would get the same good service from them though. But it is my bet that you can live without the PS2 port.
I RMA'd mine around 2 months ago - I took care to pack all included items in the box like it was new (I even put the plastic stickies back on the mosfet sinks). 2 weeks later I got a crushed, taped up MIIF box with just a motherboard and a severely scrunched up manual! No sound card, no i/o backplate, cables, CD or LCD poster. I sent it back right away, and after 2 more weeks I finally got a new board. I was astounded!
