I agree with him on the x3 part, however, you really should look into either a) solder the chip in or b) have someone solder the chip in. previously, i had a solderless adapter and they end up being more of a pain than good, get it soldered, you never have to worry about it again. My solderless chip continuously came loose and lost connection (very frustrating)
@will42082 I agree with you. @Squirrel0 Most people who get the solderless end up having to solder down one side of the adapter anyway. Just like will said, you save yourself pain in the future.
@Hitmans There are various places on the net you can get mod chips and the prices range but usually not exceeding $65-$70. I don't wanna advertise for a company but if you type in "buy modchips" in a google search...you'll get several results. As for easy to install, they can be depending on the person...if you're new to this and doing it yourself, you should try a solderless. For less potential problems from the install in the future get someone that knows how and get a chip that needs to be soldered. There are several types/brands of modchips available for an xbox: Xecuter 2.6 or 3, Xodus Xenium ICE or SP.ICE, Spiderchips, to name a few. They are all very to find via Google. Oh, you might wanna resize that picture you posted.
