I can just see xbl being screwed

The xbox firmware was hacked. It is not possible to play homebrewn stuff, but you can play any backups. (not released yet)

We all know that the xbox has a media check. This check stops a game that was not flagged for any dvd media, from being booted. Well, the check now flags all media as official xbox dvd's and always read as an official xbox dvd.

The xbe's need to be signed, so only copies of the official xbox games will only be able to be played.

edit: You should also know that since the hack reads media as official xbox media, it would be VERY hard for MS to detect if you are on a backup without reading the firmware. The media check will always come back true. Basically, this means that backups online is very much possible.

And the founder of this hack would like to try and make an xbox360 version.
