    Greetings,

    I had modded my xbox three years ago with a Xenium Gold chip. Unfortunately, it has recently died, and I wanted to mod another xbox. However, when looking for another Xenium Gold, I was unable to locate one. And I've also noticed a general lack of mod chips anywhere. What did I miss? Are there still places to purchase this mod chip, or any other mod chip for that matter? Thanks!

    No, Google isn't broken; however, that would be an odd situation. If you'll notice:

    http://www.modchipstore.com/Xbox-ModChips-1-255.html - every single chip on this page is sold out.

    http://www.divineo.com/cgi-bin/div-us/search.html - majority of chips are sold out or on "pre-order".

    http://www.modchipoutlet.com/xboxmodchips.htm - nice, they only stock one mod chip

    http://www.modchipman.com/xecuter-ce-p-1579.html - so, do you think it will be in within a month or two?

    http://www.modwhiz.com/xcart/catalog/Xenium-GOLD-In-Stock-Now-p-16265.html - lists the xenium gold at $216 (!) and out of stock.

    Now maybe it isn't the "lack" of chips in general that had me upset, but just the shortage of Xenium Golds. Is it the question of the leagility of mod chips that has cut back their supply? Or has everyone modded their xbox already, creating a lack of demand? I think I'm going to settle with the Xecuter 3 CE. I know a lot of people swear by these chips, would you recommend one? Thanks again!

    Thanks for the relevant and quick replies! Both sites look very promising, and I probably wouldn't have discovered them on my own. Thanks!
