NEWSFLASH!!! 360 Hack has been done!!!!

[schumy2001]

Here is a video where you can see a open 360 booting a copy of Project Gotham City. http://rapidshare.de/files/15810304/360hack.mpg.html. The hack has been done through the firmware of the 360 dvd drive. More Indo on www.xbox-scene.com

Granted that looks cool and all, i'll still be the first person to say there could be another 360 connected to the input/output plugs on the back of that tv witha legit versio of PGR3 in it.. Just saying is all.

Nah, I believe it. It's not like the video is his only proof. There are many threads of information on the drive's firmware. There is even a retail modding group that is backing it up, also stating that the firmware will be released soon. However, it is too risky for me. I like xbox live, I am not getting a mod until there is a switch to easily turn it off.

How would the firmware update be done? And an xbox live update could probably kill it all together right?

[Quall999]

They can probably do some kind of SA-1 hash check, and see if it was altered, but a "hidden" firmware update is not likely. Other than pretty much destroying the dvd-rom of anyone who accidentally powers theirs off, it cannot be done without the users consent (legally).

There are many privacy issues. MS does not own your console, signing onto a service like xbox live does not give them the right to alter your hardware without you knowing.
