XBOX 360 Hacked Already

[Keyser Soze]

I posted this here cause I can't find the thread where Quickstop said it would take months if not longer or at all for them to hack an XBOX to be used as a Media Center and add on hard drives......

Linux on the 360

[HedCold]

[Mad]

That didn't take too long.

i know a guy who took a screw driver to some girl's box and all he did was make a mess on the carpet

[The Jays]

he was obviously a novice

[QuickStop]

i said it would take months for them to be playing burned games on the 360. i stand by that.

[Charles Manson]

haha he showed you!

[Keyser Soze]

he hacked into the box!!!

[Mad]

That's the only box QS will ever get. Sad, but true.

[Goatweed]

burned games might take some time, Im sure the 360 dvd's have shitloads of DRM & encoded numbers that need to match to play. Once they get around that pesky 360 BIOS, it's all over.

keyser hates semantics.

[Keyser Soze]

semantics!

[GonzoStyle]

he opened the box, that counts!

[QuickStop]

That's the only box QS will ever get. Sad, but true.

in time....in time....

[Mad]

You're almost half way in your first year of college, it's do or die time with less the two minutes on the clock.

[GonzoStyle]

Hacked Xbox 360 Ok, it was cute and all when Microsoft came out with their statements about how "hack-proof" the Xbox 360 was going to be, and they even admitted themselves that "sooner or later someone will work out how to circumvent security," but it seems like we're going to see some hackage sooner rather than later. SPOnG is reporting that the first mod-chips for the 360 will be available within a month, allowing the play of "backup" game copies, which, with the recently released software that allows Xbox 360 game data extraction, means that Microsoft might have some piracy on their hands before too long. Though, if it's any consolation for the boys in Redmond, SPOnG is reporting that "Microsoft's security is the best we've seen to date for a disc-system. It it weren't for the fact that DVD is used, it's likely that further development wouldn't have been worth anyone's time.” Oh the irony.
