Xbox 360 Kiosk Demo Spurs Hackers

Posted by Zonk on from the i-wish-i-had-that-kind-of-free-time dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Those hackers from team PI have released the Xbox 360 experience kiosk demo disc as an ISO. They say this demo contains no media protection and therefore it will run on the Xbox 360 when burned to a DVD-R disc. The disc contains playable demo's on the disk such as Call of Duty 2, which could also be hackable, as PI speculates."

    [sigh] One of the worst violations in a while.

    • Apostrophes indicate ownership or relation, not pluralality.
      • I enjoyed the demo's playability.
      • The disc contains playable demos.
    • "Disc" is a less-used variant of "disk". You can use either, but for God's sake, be consistent within a single sentence.
    • "The disc contains playable demo's on the disk..." Welcome to the Department of Redundancy Department.
    • "...which could also be hackable, as PI speculates." Why exactly is as there? It'll only be hackable while PI is speculating? It's hackable in the same way that PI speculates things are hackable? What the hell? Oh, you meant... ...which, PI speculates, could also be hackable.

    Said properly:

    The disk contains playable demos--such as Call of Duty 2--which PI speculates may also be hackable.
