The Pcb seems to be of sound quality..
...saying that, I wonder if that'll differ to its mass-produced counterpart.

Keep the mod-chips a'coming  tongue.gif

Yea solder to which points?  The is getting lame, Im just glad that there are now so many companies trying to make money off of c4e that they hopefully will cut each others business down to where it doesnt make sense to produce chips.

I would like to see the install diagram for this. If it is anything like the other ones then they can keep it.

Whats the difference between this and just modding the firmware yourself.  The firmware mod doesnt seem very difficult and I would be worried about soldering this on and messing up my dvd.  I know it says it leaves your original firmware intact but you can easily flash your drive back with your origial firmware also.  I don't get it?

The advantage would be that when you insert an original game the mod would turn itself off, so you are safe to sign into live whilst using an original game.

So it would be more about the paranoia of getting caught on live with a firmware mod eventually when they can detect it if they ever do.

Instead of all these chips we should be investigating weather of not the south bridge chip even supports the commands to check firmware.  If they dont then this is a lost cause since ms would never be able to tell if your firmware is patched.
