this is likely,  Sounds like something MS would do to keep piracy down.

Nah, I don't beleive this. They will lose money on this and if an xbox is send for repair it would take longer to repair it.

I've heard tell this is true... the internals will be inaccesible.  This will also prevent the cooling system from being tampered with.

Also suggests that if they have to go to this length to stop modding.....that the x360 might be easily chipped...

Is the Xbox 360 really water cooled??? I heard that tidbit here and there.....

Could be that M$ also wants to protect their water cooled system from n00bs... So they don't fawk it over or attempt modifying it.... eh, nvm my rambling...

The irony would be if the teams used the current xbox to hack the 360...without needing to ever open it.   tongue.gif

They Can't Do That :

1. Falty DVD Drives
2. Clean Up
3. Warranty Goes Up To One Year Or Two So They Want People To Pay For A New 360 After 2 Years ¿

Side Note : Just Bring It That Sealed Case I Will Open It In The First Day.

IF anything is sealed there is always something that can open it or is developed to open it. Thats just how it works look at the iPod its sealed aswell but with the right tool pops right open.

Yup And It Is Pretty Easy To Open When You Have The Correct Tools, Same Thing Goes For Cell Phones.

First of all it's very possible for MS to have a screw together prototype and a sealed final model (after all they tool around with the prototype so it's beneficial for them to make it easy to take apart)

Second of all, that means NOTHING. if they seal or glue shut the case all that means is it will have to be sealed or glued back shut once we're done moding. The DVD dongle on the current Gen Xbox is sealed shut and that doesn't stop people from opening it. A few seconds with an Xacto knife to open it and a few seconds with some hot melt when your done...

Besides it helps create an opportunity in the modder's market for aftermarket cases that screw open instead.
