You usualy get what you pay for with mods. This is why the messiah 2 is about $20 more than the magic 3. If you are looking to save some money while still getting a reliable chip, go with the Apple. It is about the same cost as the magic 3 but much more reliable. You can get it for $35 at
www.modchip-sbox.com. I got mine from there and love it. It boots every game I throw at it.
