another thing that is not well documented is over 80% of MS is owned by I believe just the U.S. Government and or various world governments.

most if not all software development groups are given large amounts of money from special interest groups to develop games.....

I found it extremely funny that when I played BattleField2 on my 360 the opening videos showed a blue flag with the name `NEO-CON' at the bottom... Shit NEOCON is an acroynym for Neo-Conservative... What are the chances that a game being a wartime simulator would have that kind of insignia on it???

This is actually the only post, besides the ones saying it is true, that is intelligent. I'm glad people are waking up to this fact, and only wished more would realize this. There's not much that can be done about it, but at least the games are still fun.

You only have to look at games like "Shattered Union" to realize this is indeed fact.

thnx for the replies i thought the addy looked familiar i had a belkin that gave me an addy like that do all routers spit out 192.168 ?? not that it matters because im pretty sure it would be easier finding a xbox360 mod chip on ebay than his location

This clearly isn't a fancy skin. Why would anyone waste their time to make a fancy skin when it's so easy to fake the picture.

Step 1) Screen capture a screen in Avalaunch. Save it.
...
Step 6) PROFIT!

exactly how does this person make any profit when he doesn't want to be known ?

Step 1) Screen capture a screen in Avalaunch. Save it.
Step 2) Screen capture a screen from XBox 360 with that particular blade popped up. Save it.
Step 3) Us the Magic Wand tool in Photoshop on the XBox 360 picture with proper tolerance and use masking to remove any extra selection you don't want. Then go to Edit->Cut.
Step 4) Paste selection on the Avalaunch screen capture. Use Photoshop to darken the lower layer. Flatten. save as a JPEG, send to XBox-Scene.
Step 5)

?
Step 6) PROFIT!

<sarcasm>
So all I have to do is make a photoshopped image, give it to X-S and ask to remain annonymous and I can make money? Wow, I'm getting right on that task, I'm obviously in the wrong business.

</sarcasm>

Sure it nice to see there's another post whore thread going.

As far as this being real, I suppose it's possible. I mean, XBox-Scene said it was a reliable source, so I don't see why this reliable source would put it's obviously decent reputation at stake just so it could show us some doctored pictures. If it is truely working, they are obviously using the XBox 1 emulator on the XBox 360. Porting Avalaunch and Surreal 64 to the XBox 360 would be much harder. And just my opinion, the XBox 360 backwards compatibility thing always seemed like such a tacked on feature, especially since it is running through and emulator and not actual hardware (ala PS2). So the emulator always struck me as a possible back door. What if it could be tricked the same way the XBox hardware was able to be tricked. Then the same vulnerabilities could still be present. But only for XBox 1 homebrew. Ultimately this is going to be very limited. We won't be able to make any better homebrew for the 360, than we already have for the XBox.

This is just XBMC on xbox 1. Has anyone got a 500 GB hard drive running on Xbox 1 where every GB can be used?

If its a 360, how did they get such nice screen shots?? Unless there is a screen shot option in the hacked dash ... the only other was is a digi cam and the shots are to nice for that.

I say XBOX1 plus skin

It was a joke. No one remembers that old South Park episode where the Gnomes were stealing underpants and their sales plan was:

Step 1) Steal underpants
Step 2)

?
Step 3) PROFIT!

There is a thing called a video capture card, that is usually used to capture video, but *gasp* it can also be used to get a picture from that video if you know what the hell you are doing. Wow, what a breakthrough, eh?

this is totally fake, if you take both pictures at the same time blow them up and make a frame look at them you will notice the transparancy is off on one of the pics not to mention the cut of the slider is off where it curves at the bottom, ....just blow it up and look at it....
