Xbox to 360

[Schultz]

Its been hacked. They found a way to rewrite the firmware of the dvd drive so it sees dvd-r's as real discs. But to do it you need to open up the 360 and have special hardware that will let you rewrite certain codes on the chip. Check xbox-scene if you want to know more. Won't be long till its chipped.

Not to disagree but getting it mod-chipped is LONG ways away. they haven't cracked really any of the security features in the actual xbox. All they do is pull the firmware hack it so it tell sthe xbox that dvd-r's are real xbox games. You still can't do anything with running home brew apps or anything else. So a modchip that replaces the bios after cracking the encrptyion on the mb is still long ways away.

Actually the original xbox drive is only 10 gig with I think only 7 available for your own stuff. The 360 HD is 20 gig. with 13 available for your own stuff.

for clarification only because i have opened so many of them up.. outta the 7 gig harddrive only 3.5-4 gigs was used for your game saves and music. the drive had like a 1.5 gig partition for the dashboard, 4 gigs for user info and 3 like 700-900 gig temp partitions for games to dump information and load from the harddrive instead of the DVD-ROM's. Also newer consoles came with a 10gig harddrive but was still only partitioned to use 7 gigs.

The psp is on a role my friend. Its catching up in the US. I think its only 2 million consoles behind on the DS (which has sold something like 25 million in the US). I won't disagree on the bad 360 launch. Its still hard to find a premium over here.

personally opinion. I currrently had both the PSP and the DS.(cept Mario kart) haven't cared for any the games on both and yes i do own them both and they both collect dust. would still rather play my GBA
