    It tricks the console into believing that the game inserted is the correct type\brand of DVD like the originals.

    Firmware is the way to go as it can be reversed and updated, unlike the chip. Just make sure you know what your doing before you attempt it, or get it done by a professional modding service.

    360 Uses DVD+R DL and the most popular brand that has worked for people is Verbatim.
    Unlike the original Xbox modding a 360 will only do one thing, play back up copies of your games. Nothing more.

    Another nice mod that will help with common heat issues is getting a Talismoon fan upgrade installed. It is a stock fan replacement that has much better air flow then any other so called "360 cooler" they are selling out there. Plus it comes in several cool LED colors so your xbox will glow through the vents in dim light. Mine glows Xbox neon green of course :)
