Can anyone tell me what my mod/modchip options are for the 360? And is there any reputable place to have it done if it is available? Thanks!
In my opinion, the best mod is a flashed firmware, no modchip at all. You can do it yourself or have someone do it for you for less than the price of a chip and an install of said chip.

Flashing is good and all, but what if Microsoft does a DVD firmware check? The modchips will not be detected, or at least will be very less likely compared to a DVD Drive flash.
To say that they will not be detected is a pretty bold statement. What does the modchip do? Think about it... It sends modified responses to the motherboard, resulting in non-360 media being booted. What does the firmware do, it sends modified responses to the motherboard. So, i think if they detect the firmware, they will just as easily detect patch on the fly modchips. Yes, you can turn them off. However, if they do add a check for these modified responses, it will probably be built into the kernel and not just a live issue. I highly doubt they will dump the drive and compare the firmware - it will more likely be a response check. Look at drives that cannot be dumped but can be hacked (v79 for example). How are they going to check that firmware? They dont.
