Well im an old xbox modder that hasn't ever installed, used or done anything with a 360 modchip. From what ive learned you put the mod chip onto the DVD drive and flash the firmware, which allows you to play back up games. The firmware most likely takes away the media checking. As of right now, no real mod chips that plug into the console itself, just the DVD drive.

Only thing the mod chip does that is interesting is it flashes on the fly. The original firmware is always present, it flashes when need be. But it is a pain, you have to build games specific to your modchip, as hobbs stated earlier.

Once the kernel gets cracked and homebrew floods the scene perhaps the chip will be tempting. Even when I had an xbox, I softmodded it. Not really into the paying to do something that can be achieved free.

You'll need a dvd drive either modded, or a drive with kreon on it. Use the latest xbc, and you cant save games to the hdd.

Mod chips cost money to do what firmware hacks do for free. Id go with free over paying for something any day.
