do yourself a favor, get the 1.1 chip. only 5 wires, and no boot problems. i think nme should have left well enough alone and stayed with the 1.1

The blaster isnt a "chip"

Its a device to make it so you wouldnt have to open your 360 to flash the DVD drive again and no soldering needed.

A chip is actually installed and soldered in the DVD drive. Depending if your confident enough with your soldering skills, you can choose which way to go.

Personally I would choose neither way. Unless you like the way the blaster looks. You can open your 360 and flash the dvd drive for free and not have to pay $40-80 for some stupid addon like a chip or the blaster. you can also rig up something like the blaster, just would require some cutting of your metal shielding and it would be much cheaper.

I have installed NME 1.2 (First batch from modchipfitters) for 3 months now on my Hitachi 78DJ.
Works perfect ,all the time.

You install it with the coil 470? you got the chip and you installed him like how you got him?

No problems with DVDs or some else?

the reason i suggest the 1.1 is because it only has 5 wires to solder.

I agree for a newbie to soldering... get an NME1.1 or Xeno360(if you don't mind having to power up the Xbox via the eject button whenever u want to play a backup.)

If you get a 1.2, be prepared for a HARD install. read my guide for some tips that can help.
The 1.2s for Hitachi don't seem to suffer from the problems that Samsung drives do...

personally ive had one chipped Samsung with nme 1.2 and one hitachi flashed with xtreme firmware

id say the flashed box is actually more stable and plays both nme and xtreme game

so if you have the abilty to flash your box succesfully buy a 360 blaster and do it that way

lack of support from the chip supplier doesnt offer me confidence it seems if xbox scene wasnt here we would have loads of scrap chips kicking about

then again ive been playing online with nme succesfully so far so touch wood all is good !!

clitchies yes but the chip does work to be fair not as stable as flashing tho

good luck read up and just take your time with anything you do

Sorry for the delay to reply.
They didn`t have the 470coil on stock,(they send on later on order)but i used one with the same measurements from an old TV set. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Works great on backup and originals ,all the time ,Not one fail boot at all,
P.S I use Infinity 360 DL ,from the same site.

I only have a hard drive, so I don't have access to a sata port, so any suggestion for me to flash the drive? i was looking to getting the blaster and look for a sata to usb adapter. Will that work?

I have no soldering experience at all so I won't be looking into buying a chip for my 360 but I am just wondering, is it worth investing into something like the Blaster 360 at this point in time? I don't want to buy something like the Blaster 360 and void my warranty (I'm on my 5th xbox) if there will be a better solution in a few months from now with homebrew and a new product which is also $50 to buy. Would you reccomend waiting or purchasing the blaster 360 now?

Dude there is no way to tell what will be out in a week much less than 6 months.....It's just like any other electronic investment.....U either have to just jump in with both feet or do without............ with electronics something bigger and better is always gonna be out there in no time.........well.......Usually...not quite the same with regards to modding though................Just my opinion.
I would make sure I had a samsung drive......If I bought an xbox and it didnt have the samsung drive I would bring it back and exchange it until I got one that did have it........My NME 1.2 is fine....and I dont have much soldering experience.....Just read ydgmms's guide over and over and go very, very slow...later
