Xbox 360 Kiosk Demo Spurs Hackers

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."

One more demo surfaces

Looks like someone beat me to the punch on this article - I will say that another demo disc has also surfaced, let's see if they can find the difference between the two maybe?

SELF BOOTING XBOX 360 EXPERIENCE KIOSK DISK

Team PI have done it again! YES YOU CAN BURN THIS ISO AND PLAY IT IN YOUR XBOX-360 - they call it the big m$ muck up. Team Pi leaves you with this Pillow statement:It seems Microsoft was in such a hurry to get this stuff out that they forgot to set the media protection on this disc. This leaves hackers with the posibility to hack around with this disc that load from a normal DVDR5 backup.

        Microsoft left us with this blanket statement:

        Xbox 360 retail kiosks have started arriving at retailers. Due to the nature of the distribution process, not all kiosks are hitting simultaneously, but are continuing to pop up in retailers across the country in the coming weeks.

        The kiosks are designed for a retail environment and feature game samples, game trailers and product information. Team Pi leaves you with this Pillow statement:

        It seems Microsoft was in such a hurry to get this stuff out
        that they forgot to set the media protection on this disc.
        This leaves hackers with the posibility to hack around with
        this disc that load from a normal DVDR5 backup! - Team Pi
        also notes that the all datafiles on this disc isn't signed in
        any way, and will allow for extensive modification for producing
        exploits to further our efford to hack this box!

        Playable (hackable) games on this disc: Call of Duty 2, Hexic, Kameo, King Kong. Also includes lots of game and accessory demos in video format.
        Nothing ripped, just foreign videos were downsampled to fit onto a normal DVDR5!

        YES you can run this! Burn the iso, put it into your xbox and be very amazed... Next, think of the posibilities of hacking this little demo disc that we might start running code on the retail xbox 360's ! :)
        So the second task is done. We hope this encourages all hackers, coders and crackers out there to take up the challenge. Enjoy!

        Special note to the Clear kids: Yes, we are old and lazy, and no, we are not going to do some scene war against you. Life is too short for that, and our dicks are allready large enough :)

        Keep up the hard work!
