Many people are saying that softmod isn't free because you have to buy a memory card and the game. Thats right...
But AFTER THIS, you can softmod any other xbox to earn money. I softmod xboxes for 30 euros. When you use mod-chips, you have to buy a mod chip everytime you mod a xbox. So softmod is a lot cheaper. (I know I ask not much for softmod, but 30 euros is an attractive price for most people who wanted to mod their xbox at somebody else for 50+ euros)

Softmod works fine for me.
And it makes a lot of money. Especially people who have their xbox still within their warranty want a softmod.

(1 EURO = currently 1,20 USD)

yea i wont fight u on softmodding can be nice, it just depends on how u go about it and if its a stable set up. cus alot of setups i c arnt real stable, like one i saw a while back crashed when it dident have the video cable in all the way. so it did the flashing leds and killed the softmod, not sure why.

I used Krayzies softmod installer 2.8. Have already used it for 10 times, it works perfectly. Also very easy to uninstall, easy to make a multiboot from within the installation-wizard.

sry bout the late responce, but to the dude that says ur gonna fuck up your xbox by using a softmod anyways is a complete and utter idiot

i have my softmod for a couple monthes now, big hdd any everything, no biggie. Seems to me its easier to mess up a chip then it is a softmod.

Problems during installation

Chip
1.Remove a trace
2.Solder to wrong point
3.melt your thumb to mobo(friend did it)
4.install chip backwards
5.Flash wrong bios
6.Flash incorrectly

need i continue?

Softmod
1. Restart your xbox

you have more chance of messing up a softmod.

I see more people mess up softmods then anything, and I would rather have a mod chip because I experiment, and with a softmod, thats REALLY hard to do without fucking something up..

CHIP
-------

PROS: Many features, almost impossible to mess up while installed

CONS: Cost, installing

SOFTMOD
-------------

PROS: Relativly 'easy' to do, Cost

CONS: Easier to render xbox useless and then needing chip, Sometimes more confusing

my $0.02

This thread should have been locked 2 pages ago (TMHO) but .....

There is no 'better', all mods work if done correctly, all have their share of pro's and con's.

Just use whatever you feel comfortable with.

Pretty sad this discussion comes up every 2 or 3 days and always leads to arguments between fanboys (and -girls) of all 3 camps.

I use all 3 of them, and all have their purpose. For most tasks wanted from a mod : it's totally indifferent, as the result will be the same, and the 'risks' (though different for each mod) are pretty equal, but might differ for users.

Some are good at soldering (chip users), some are good at reading (softmodders). We all have our qualities and flaws, so have all mod methods.

If you dont mind spending money on the chip then that is the best for you. If you dont mind losing a little reliablilty and a few features then a softmod is best for you. It just all comes down to what the individual person expects out of their xbox.

END OF DISCUSSION!
