Slashdot Mirror
Lik-Sang Back Online
Alexander Burke writes "Lik-Sang appears to be back online (until we slashdot them). However, their selection of PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and Xbox "backup and import" (pronounced modchip) items seem somewhat lacking. Coincidence? Surely not..." This previous posting should provide some good background reading if you've not been following this episode.
It's unfortunate that the unofficial Game Boy Advance tools are no longer sold through them either. There is a big community of budding game developers out there, but with the prices Nintendo asks for the official development kits, the unofficial tools are their only way of getting started.
Of course, tools like that will always find their way. Unfortunately also the site of the company that makes them is either hacked or taken down. Anyone know which?

On a somewhat related note, I was in Best Try (or Buy if you like the place) today and saw a 24" RCA television with the label "XBox Ready" slapped on the plastic. We are not talking about a sticker, but the text is actually printed on the face next to the control buttons so it is a perminent fixture on the front of the unit.
The borg's marketing machine is in motion. (Like that should be news to anyone.)
What TV can you purchase now adays which is not "XBox Ready"? I wonder how much cash MS pushed their way to get that label. I would not even consider buying the unit just due to that.
The TV was on and endcap no less.

The funniest thing about this being a dupe is that the poster listed antoher slashdot article on the topic. This makes me wonder how they searched slashdot's history and found the past story but not the dupe?
unzip; strip; touch; finger; mount; fsck; more; yes; unmount; sleep
Actually if you look at www.xboxmediaplayer.de you'll note that they claim that their beta includes no GPL'ed code.
Care to prove otherwise?
Everyone should keep in mind that these accusations are being made by "the project from hell"
Life is too short to proofread.
I have read prolly 30 posts stateing this story is a dupe. Granted Lik-Sang has been back for a while but it was only very recently that they had mod-chips posted on thier site. The post on /. did a poor job of explaining this so maybe it should be pointed out.
