any advice on which would be easier to install and which is more financially sound for multiple installs?

I have several refurbished xboxes ready for operating on and having a CR4 installed. Just stumpbled across the Ex-key (forum isn;t liking my spelling out the name of the USB loader in question) and wondered if it would be easier/cheaper for a complete soldering n00b?



any advice/tips would be appreciated

I know the difference in what each achieves, I'm just looking at it from an install perspective.
are there any other similar external USB type mods on the market anyone would recommend? or are well all "no, no, no - RGH all the way!"

If we are, then great! I have my answer. just curious if there are two camps before I go and invest in a bunch of chips etc

As far as I know, the **** doesn't require any soldering.

It is an ODDE/USB Loader, but it won't let you run homebrew code on your console.

For the record, there is no "USB type mod" that will allow an XBOX 360 console to boot homebrew code.

And you can be on XBL. With RGH you can not. OP, I'm sure you know that but thought I would clarify in case you did not.

It's really just the soldering that bothers me but I'm what I like to refer to as a "professional googler" and confident amateur. If you know how to ask google a question the right way it can usually give you the answer and even a video how-to.
I've also got the TX forum to back me up so I think I'm leaning towards RGH. had the xbone not already been released I'd be more concerned with staying online but it's not really an issue now.

just practice your soldering on some dead motherboards if u are not confident.
