Xbox 360 chipped (chiped): Do you need to get it?

You might consider getting your Xbox 360 chipped or chiped if you wish to play games which you have downloaded from the net or backed up using your burner. Since a chiped Xbox 360 can play even non-original disks, it is seen as a great way to save the money spent in buying games. But it comes with a few cons of its own.

Firstly, getting you Xbox 360 chipped or chiped is risky in that you lose all warranty. Furthermore, there are quite a few mod chips available but getting your Xbox 360 chipped or chiped is still a job which is notoriously unreliable since these chips tend to fail often.

By far the most important consequence of getting your Xbox 360 chipped is the possibility of getting a red ring or even the infamous three red rings of death in the future. A majority of users having a Xbox 360 chipped have experienced this. If you do not have warranty during this time, you are but staring down the barrel.
