I was checking on TB and there were xbox 360 games released. I read the comments and it stated that all you needed was a x360 with a samsung or toshiba dvd drive with a specific firmware. This sounds great but i dont know how long this will last.. :shifty:

Hack has been out for about a week now, no mod chip needed but all games need to burned onto DL DVD's because the Xbox checks the second layer for a secruity feature.
Does anyone else see this as being something that might push sales of dual layer dvd's up and hopefully reducing their cost.
Can you play the burnt games on Live?
If you want your xbox 360 serial number blocked then yes it canQuote:

Also theres no homebrew stuff yet and word on the street is MS can detect the changed firmware even when you play a real game on XBL and not only ban you from XBL but automatically restore the original firmware. Not sure if it's true but i would susgest waiting a few months and see how the scene developes.
Thanks. That's why I said closer.Quote:

4 drives? Aren't there only 2? And they are already developing a Hitachi hack. The Hitachi was supposedly the first firmware to come out but the release group didn't wan't to release it for fear of the piracy issue but it was going to come out later neways.
