But they're not good as the ones soldered into xbox?

they're the same its just that your connections aren't as reliable.

I've heard from people that the Matrix chip can get loose really easily. I would recommend getting someone to do it for a bit more. There's a person in my area that installs modchips for $50 (includes labor and chip).

If you have any soldering skills you should be able to do an LPC mod. My skills are very limited, and I pulled it off. but if your unsure you can always buy premodded ones. find a reputable dealer on xbox-scene.com, and go from there

Get your hands on Brute Force. Pretty cool co-op title. I am really enjoying it more than Halo (HATED Halo) and its a blast to setup a good fight when you have 2-3 humans to back you up.
