Hmm, well, it is basically the same thing. The only difference is that the chip will either patch the dvd firmware on the fly, or bypass the dvd drive's firmware with the one housed on the chip.

A chip is much safer in that you will only brick your drive if you install it wrong, but there is no difference in functionality yet. Sorry, I dunno about installers for your area.

You should keep in mind that there is now a method to downgrade the kernel on the 360 to an exploitable version. Meaning a new type of chip will likely be released in a couple months that will allow unsigned code, or at least make it easier for you to get that ability. It will probably cost the ability to play on xbl though.
