The Messiah has not completed testing yet, and a full completed version has not been tested yet. The makers have said themselves that they want to do more testing.

All the chips seem to have basically the same features, the messiah is less wires, it will be hard to tell which chip is better until they have all be release and been in use for a little while, it is usually the end-user that finds the obscure bugs in the chips.

When is the Messiah out and how much is it going to cost. Also how many wires has the Messiah.

apparently there is 20 wires but they want to get rid of a few more and really scale it down - the Messiah was the king of the PS2 but the Enigmah is the tried and proven chip of the X-Box

I don't see how the messiah chip can be any better than the enigmah when it does everything already.

the only things to change are the price and ease of fitting, but thats not going to happen anyway.

Peace...

The Messiah-X is only 12 wires. I just hope that they are as easy to install as the Enigmah and Xtender chips. Also does anyone know what the price of the MX will be? The price they give may not be accurate, because I remember when ChannelTech was going to release the Messiah for the PS2, they said it was going to be less than half of the price of the Neo4, after the release though, It is hard to find then for under $90.

hi there chip sells for between £42 with postage and £45 for the chip
make sure all so that its not the beta version of the chip
as some people are selling these off to get rid of fast
but ask before you buy the chip
i would stick with this chip as there are lots coming out for it
but make sure u ask first

For the US people, MX should be around $50-$55. 12 wires and does all that the other chips do.

Playing ALL region movies with just one remote. Unlike Xtender and Enigmah you need all remote from each region.:)
