Executive summary about Xbox 360 Mod By Steven Fields

As a serious gamer myself, I love to see games before they hit our shores here in North America. What I found was a Mod Chip, for my Playstation console. And I’ve been using mod chips ever since then. Having most recently purchased and installed my Xbox 360 Mod Chip into my system – and I’ve got armor games from Japan on the way.

So Just what IS a mod chip? A modification chip or mod chip is a device used to play import, backup, or home brew games. Mod Chips first came into “fame” when die hard, hard core gamers who were tired of the slim offerings that were made available for them in the USA, wanted to get their hands on the often better and more unique Japanese games that were coming out for their game console.

Mod chips are available for all the major video game consoles, including the Xbox 360, Xbox, Sony PSP, PlayStation, Playstation 2 and GameCube. Much like when the ps2 mod chip first came out, they had chips (different chips) for each “version” of the ps2 console. And the Xbox 360 mod chips are no exception. First it was a mod chip for the Samsung drives .. Which means that if your XBox 360 had a samsung DVD drive, then you needed to buy an Xbox 360 mod chip that worked on the SAMSUNG drive, to bypass the current firmware.

Then the Team Underdog chip came out, this chip had 2 versions. In comes the Globe 360 Xbox 360 Mod Chip. The Globe 360 is the world’s First Xbox 360 mod chip that is compatible with ALL DVD Drives currently on the market! To sum it up, if you have an Xbox 360, then you should really consider getting an Xbox 360 mod chip. There are truly very unique (and playable) Japanese games that we’ll simply never see otherwise.
