At this time the Xodus mod-chip is an unconfirmed "plug in" modchip which supposedly will have all the features of the current mod-chips with absolutely no soldering required.

www.xodus-chip.com We all look forward to seeing what this turns out to be. Currently my box is not chipped but if this turns out to be true, I will be among the first in line to buy one.
