Microsoft Banning 360 Firmware Modders?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday October 30, 2006 @09:49AM from the well-it-wouldn't-surprise-me dept.

arcon5 writes "After several months of silence it was more or less accepted that Microsoft wasn't going to do anything about the firmware hacks that allow Xbox 360s to play backups. Rather surprising, considering the 'inventor' of the hack confirmed in March already that the mods are easily detectable, and the reports that piracy is running rampant in countries like China. It appears that Microsoft is finally taking action against them though, although they may be hitting the wrong persons." Best part of that article is the firmware chip encased in epoxy.

360 DOA by soft_guy · 2006-10-30 10:53 · Score: -1, Troll

I bought an XBox 360 and it was DOA when I took it out of the box. I called Microsoft and they couldn't help, so I ended up taking it back to the store. I think I will just wait and get a Wii.
