You want MS to come out on top over Sony and this is how we help?
Nobody's going to be making back-ups, it's for piracy alone.

I've lost a lot of respect for Team Xecuter. Chipping the Xbox for Linux and XBMC is one thing, releasing this firmware is totally different.
I personally hope MS has a security feature to crash any and all xbox's with this.

And I'm going to be pissed when MS announces they will not be around for another iteration of the Xbox.

Mod for fun, not piracy. I don't know The Specialist, but he's a lot better of a person than the Xecuter team.

Once I get my DVD-Rom Flashed and see it working, I guess Team Xecutor will be seeing some donations from me and other aswell.

Sadly I'm not excited about this, in fact I'm downright disappointed.

Team Xecuter went from being one of my favorites to pretty low in my book with this news info.

It's shitty to say the least. Okay now piracy can be rampant,

Dude it is Team Executer, X2 Bios, X3 bios. Dude those are pirated illegal bios images, Whats wrong with you?

i dont see how backups on live is a bad thing means more ppl with a bigger variety of games means more ppl on there servers meaning more money for M$. Now playing.

You're kidding right?

M$ is losing money on every xbox 360 they sell (just like xbox 1). Their only revenue is with games, accessories, and XBL subscriptions.

People pirating games means M$ will be losing money on game sales. If they get more people on XBL, they'll have to spend more money on upgrading their servers to handle the extra load. Now, where the hell did you come up with that lame statement above?

I don't see why everyone is jumping around over this news. MS can simply change the security in the DVD drives to prevent this so then what? Only the first Xbox owners will be able to use it and since the dude is not releasing it what's the point.

Plus I wouldn't want to mess up my Live account. There is no point having a 360 without Live.

Looks like I'll be buying a second Xbox 360

You guys are going to give the whole scene a bad name with this firmware hack. Piracy is not everyone's goal, and if you put out this cheap trick to aid piracy, it will hurt the scene in extreme ways.

The firmware hack is blatant intent for piracy, there is no excuse you can give a court that will justify its existence, and those who distribute it and develop it will be asking for legal trouble. Legal trouble that MS and others have been waiting a long time to rain down over the scene.

If you want the scene to survive in the open community capacity that it is now, you need to stop any plans to distribute the firmware hack.
Don't bring shame to the scene.

Don't bring shame to yourselves, just stop.

What about the last news story that said that it's better to probably remove the chip due to the epoxy?

Alex548 · « **Reply #54 on:** March 20, 2006, 04:29:00 PM »

heraldoffailure, good points. Others have stated the exact same thing. Unfortunately, there's MANY people out here who don't give a damn and only want to save money by pirating games (well, here you go....).

If this hack would benefit homebrew or lead to upgrading the hdd, then I'm all for it. As of now, this hack will prove to cause more harm than good so that's why other people have been hesitant to release it. I'll continue to read up on this stuff, but I have no plans on trying it.

heraldoffailure · « **Reply #55 on:** March 20, 2006, 04:33:00 PM »

On a second note, MS used this site to beef the security on the 360. We, the scene, were their biggest and best source of what they did wrong, and how to fix it.

Well we didn't want to, or mean to help them fix the 360, but I think it's up to some of use to make sure that they get the specialists research and make a patch to fix this firmware hack.

If you want the scene to live on, make sure they EVERYONE knows how this hack works.

The sooner MS get's this fixed, the sooner everyone can concentrate on what the scene is really here for.

Live will never see mine.

Will be nice to see if this gives us any nice exploits for homebrew. Either way, if you don't like whats going on then don't flash the FW to your own 360. Bitching about how bad it is isn't going to do anything but flood X-S threads with mindless crap. We realize some oppose it, do you really think the several threads with all of the same theme (piracy is bad blah blah) will change anything? If so, you're sadly mistaken.

Well sometimes you just have to beat it into peoples skulls when they're doing something wrong.

I mean how many time does your dog piss in the house till you teach it to go outside.

And MS won't care who's doing it and who's not, all they care is a major scene contributer is using the scene to fuck them out of money. That's all the laywers need for xboxhacker.net xbox-scene.com and teamxecuter.com to get shut down forever.

TeamXecuter's legal buisness end is going to regret this. I hope for their sake that the left hand has no control over what the right is doing.

as long as xs doesn't provide any one with links and/or downloads of this stuff... it'll still be around.

The administrators & moderators will do everything they can to keep xs out of legal troubles.
