I didnt know where to post this so I put it here(think its most relevant).
I was wondering what are the pros and cons for flashing vs modchip.
I'd tend to go for flashing since its cheaper and easier to do but I'm just wondering is there a downside to flashing?
With the PSP they update the firmware and some new games only work with the new firmware so you have to wait for the new firmware to get cracked and then flash it and get your new games.
I'm wondering if its the same situation with the 360.
Supposedly the modchip doesnt touch the original firmware it just puts its own firmware in when the chip is activated, if you turn the chip off your console is just the same as a non-modified one.
If you have to keep flashing your 360 I think it would be better just to buy the modchip.. is that the case?
