With the list of Xbox 360 Mods Growing each and every month, talking about all of them here would only cause everyone confusion. Instead I am going to talk about, and make a suggestion on which Xbox 360 ModChips you SHOULD buy, as opposed to the long list of Xbox 360 Mods that you should stay away from.

If I were to list all of the Xbox 360 Mod Chips that I think aren't up to par, my list would include 20 or more modchips currently available for the Xbox 360 console. A few of the more famous Xbox 360 modchis, that I still urge you to stay away from would include chips like the Xtreme 360 mod chip, or the Aladdin 360. Included in my DO NOT BUY list would also be the underdog 360 and any type of Firmware chip.

I make my statements not based on the quality of the modchips. They are all good Xbox 360 mod chips as far as modchips go. Not one of them is manufactured incorrectly or is made using cheap parts or components. No... The trouble I have with these chips is that they are simply FIRMWARE chips. By firmware chips I mean that they replace the firmware of your XBox 360 DVD Drive by way of being soldered into place. Now, virtually all modchips need to be soldered to the main board of your xbox 360 console, but there are modchips that don't simply re-write the firmware on your Xbox 360 - Making it detectable, but they actual inject their special instructions - and then turn off - so as to avoid detection.

For this reason, when you're looking at all of the Xbox 360 Mod Chips available. We would strongly urge you to look at the All360 or Globe 360 modchips. You'll save yourself a lot fo headaches and also from potentially being blocked from Xbox Live (the heart of online gaming when it comes to Xbox) and allow you to continue to play all of your games.

Of the two choices - the All 360 or the Globe 360 mod chips, I recommend you take a look at the All 360 modchip. Not because it is better - in fact, it is equally the same as the Globe 360 in all features and functions. But it is priced at a much lower price point than the Globe 360 (about $20.00 less in fact) making it more affordable for the identical features and functions.

While other Xbox 360 mods are perhaps cheaper, you do get what you pay for. Most website do carry all varieties, including the firmware upgrade chips, because there are customers that want to save a few dollors and have their Xbox 360 modchips, without knowing the risks. And in the case of a firmware upgrade chip, you end up getting a chip that does only a simple firmware upgrade and you risk blacklisting your Xbox 360 console from Xbox live all together.
