It seems one of the folks behind the recent successful hack of an Xbox 360 has admitted the production isn’t something the general public could replicate. This means the hack is basically useless to gamers.
The mod involved a DVD hack that made it feasible to play a backup copy of Project Gotham Racing 3 on a modified console. Guess if it sounds too good ...
One of the hackers behind the mod has joined Microsoft in calling it "useless". Apparently the mod is useless to the general public due to its complexity (the mod "requires that the flash chip is removed from the drive circuit board and inserted into a special flash programming device") and the fact that it could easily destroy an Xbox 360 in the wrong hands.
However we must agree with one of the other members of the mod team when he said "given the complexity of the software it seems unlikely that there's no [other] way in." Did you know: Microsoft also make a popular operating system called Windows, an OS notorious for its backdoor vulnerabilities.
