Smile Someone recommend an installer?

Hi guys, just got my Xbox last week and want to get it chipped.
Could anyone recommend me a good place in the North East of England? Im after somewhere i can take it in person rather than post it if possible.

Cheers!

Cheers guys... ive actually found a one in Fenham, Newcastle. Im gonna have a run up on Monday to see if he can do it for me ... £60 for an Xecuter 2.3b Pro seems okay to me.

£60? Thats an insane price. They sell for around $49 (£26 - £27) here in the states.

I can see maybe £60 for the chip plus the install maybe. But even that seems a little high.

Shipping from the UK to the US is very costly... It would be WAY cheaper for him just to find an installer in the UK.

I went up to see the guy this morning.... cost £65 for the Xecuter 2.3b Lite, that includes installation.

Slightly more than what i wanted to pay, but im happy as its very local to me, and makes things easy.

Cheers for all the help and replies tho guys!
