LOL not only was the author of the news item unable to report it without putting an editorial slant on it, but he wasn’t even able to get his facts straight.

P.S. The epoxy glue on flash chip has nothing to do with this hack. You can flash firmware using PC via DVD Drive’s S-ATA interface.

Anyone who said homebrew shite may not have chance to see XBMC.

That “homebrew” apps is by far exceed all media players in any form including XBOX 360 shitty media player and WinXP MCE.

This doesn’t allow unsigned code so it’s useless for homebrew; it’s pretty much only useful for playing from what could charitably be called “backups.”

Things like the XBMC won’t work with this.

how easy is it to mod an original xbox and put nes and snes games onto it? i am so bored and have not touched it in a while, and it has never been online.

Rossoko Uk how can you say homebrew is shite?? You mad??

The xbox360 dashboard is based on homebrew from the original xbox.

Im with you Ungreat XBMX rocks and i cant wait until we are able to run it on the 360 and use the power of the machine to have great apps and emulators

People waste their time with this because they can get a great system with cheap games ($free).

It’s not ethical, but then again, neither is downloading movies, mp3 from the net…

As they say, he who never sinned can trhow the first stone…

Homebrew is what made the original Xbox great.

My Xbox running XBMC with all my CD’s and DVD’s ripped to it is amazing as a budget Media Center.

The DVD Firmware hack on the 360 isn’t really something i’m interested in, but it may spur others on to unlock the 360’s true potential.

Why would people waste their time with this? Homebrew is shite anyway. Why can’t people just leave things how it is, instead of pointless modding that gets you nowhere, except that you can say “I cracked it”. Great, now fuck off outta here

It tells you in the nfo what you need to do. Its very easy but not worth it to be honest.

The good thing about this hack, there maybe someone out there you can get unsigned code to run which would be great for the homebrew seen.

If you seriuosly what to do this wait for the dual firmware mod which will be released soon
