clearly someone doesnt get the significance of obtaining their 360's CPU key through a mod chip....so let's briefly go over what's possible when you can do so by means of using this timing attack to downgrade your 360 to a exploitable kernel to obtain the CPU key.
1. the chip may cost roughly around $50-$60 bucks. this is of course minus installation charges if you do it yourself and dont go to someone who knows how to mod a particular system, or numerous systems. who knows how much any one person will charge for mod services to a console, but for the money you're opening your system up to a slew of freely developed, freely distributed, freely downloadable games, applications, and other custom programs that people can imagine and create. this would be well worth the purchase of such a chip. many of it has the potential of being way better than anything MS may offer in comparison.
2. obtaining your systems unique CPU key can also allow you to freely change your systems region settings. like changing your NTSC-U/C console to a full blown NTSC-J console capable of playing import titles. if you're into importing foreign games then this will save you the money of going and using the only other available option to get your fix......spending $400 plus bucks just for a japanese 360. why do that when you run the risk of that system incurring some sort of trauma that may 3 red light it in a month or so?? yeah you may mention the free warranty, but what are the chances MS will give you a japanese console back when you send yours in for repair?? you got to remember you're not in japan here in the states or wherever you live and the repair center in your regional area will more than likely screw up and give you a system that follows regional standards.
3. if you're concerned about playing on live with this chip...it may have something to turn it off for when you decide to game on live. like pressing and holding the power button for example. you dont need it to play copies, or downloaded games isos burned on a disc. just use w/e method they give us and turn the chip off and play your original copy on live. pretty simple wouldnt you think??
so now you got your incentives to use a chip. like i said it may cost $50 or so odd bucks to get it, and maybe have someone install it, but for what you get in the end it's worth it, cause remember.....the homebrew will for the most part be free in all aspects. nobody to say how much it should be sold for or anything unless someone really thinks we'll pay for something developed by an amateur programmer. no offense to any homebrewers out there. the chip will more than likely have something to switch it off to play your real games on live without worry. lot of chip makers will implement a way to turn the chip off for when you want to game on XBL. and it's all thanks to that CPU key you like putting down. well the chip part is strictly chip, but the rest CPU key.
now of course if this doesnt sound good to you...then you can always sign up, pay, and download the XNA program to let you get "homebrew" developed there. talk about money being spent then....
