Anybody do BGA rework?

I'm wondering if one could replace the 88W8385
on a gumstix board with an 88W8388 swiped from
an Xbox 360 wireless device.

They appear to be the same chip package. This of
course does not ensure that enough of the
connections are compatible, but I think there is
reason to be optimistic.

It's this horrifying package: TBGA 132pin 8x8x1

(any better ideas for getting 88W8388 hardware?)
