hello all im learning loads from this site (thanks) and have a flashed drive on iextreme 1.61.
are there any benefits to modchipping the console or is flashing the way forward.
i know very little about the mod chips on the 360.

Advantages of Flashing:
Cheaper
Easily Upgraded
No Soldering

Advantages of Chipping:
None that I can think of.

One potential advantage of chipping -- if MS did somehow improve their mechanisms for detecting flashed drives, which is still in much doubt, it may now be safer for online play.

Not really true. Since it's being proved it's not the firmware of getting people banned.

no one uses chips and the ones that exist have a million wires. Oh and it's not going to help in the banning process

Heh... where in my post did I say that modded firmware is for sure detectable? I said specifically that is in much doubt still and the advantage was merely a 'potential' one. But okay.
