That looks like one of the better mod chips available, but it does look like it requires some technical know-how to install it, soldering etc. Maybe you could google a Mod chipping store that is close to you and courier it to them. Or even better, buy one already chipped out

Just remember that if you play XboX Live and your chip is detected then your account will be banned. Good luck mate ^_^

Answer #8
THe xbox 360 because of how xbox live really innovates online, also because of how cheaper it is, and the modding ability which the ps3 doesn’t have much of yet.

Why bother with a modchip when you can flash the firmware of your 360’s drive and get the same effect!

Probably because most of the people don’t know that’s possible .
Maybe this link will help you make a decission. It’s a graphics comparison between PS3 and xbox.

I don’t own either console, but based on that Gamespot article, I thought the PS3’s graphics were a lot sharper; everything looks slightly blurred on the 360 screens. Granted, if you’re going for graphics alone, why bother?
