Hacker Team Releases First 360 ISO
surefooted1 writes "Xbox-scene.com has a brief story on the first Xbox 360 game dump here. A full dump of the game 'Condemed' has been released. From the article: 'The PI group released Xbox 360 game ISOs today. Note that downloading such releases is illegal and you can't do anything with them yet (they will not boot on your Xbox 360). You can find the NFO of one of their releases here.
They also released an open-source tool to extract these releases (basicly it's an 'x360-ISO extractor') so you can check out the files in the image. It will NOT work on original discs as a PC DVD-ROM can't read those.'"
A 733t! group of Hax0rz have made a duplicate of one XBox-360 game disc. Using mysterious technology know as 'dd' or 'ghosting' the nerarious criminals accommplished what Microsoft engineers had previously derided as an impossibility; namely, the creation of a HD-DVD ISO, which can be used to make countless useless duplicate copies of the game that unscrupulous gamers can stare at blankly or attempt to chew on.
Microsoft spokesmen could not be be reached on this issue as they were too busy not caring. Reports state that Zonk's mouse hand was trembling with excitement as he posted the story, having spent most of the day chucking perfectly newsworthy submissions. Meanwhile, useful links to the open source iso extraction tool were downplayed in the report. In other news the Slashdot Games Section continues to be the fastest growing section, yet the least commented upon one.
May the Maths Be with you!
The problems are pretty widespread. Get your facts right, you're obviously an M$ fanboy, I mean come on look at your link.
Good karma sticks to me like velcro on a piece of plexiglass.
Move along, citizen.
