Well its still on both front pages so that's good. I'm waiting till Friday and if its not released then i don't give a crap I'm not waiting for those bickering fools to release that, considering there homepage gets updated about every year.

finally peace. since I started reading this thread, everyone has been fighting. no need for that. this is a community, lets get along.

if it is released, well thats good. Thats one step for man.
if it is not the we will have to wait again. and those who updated, just wait to a next hack.
I dont even have a gold subscription, so I hardly go online. So waiting, for me, is nothing really.

remember just last week, the only 360s that could have been hacked were the non-hdmi.

but anyway, this is good news. finally homebrew can be run even without kk exploit. Media apps like xbmc should be interesting (hope they release it). I never had a xbox 1 to use or hack, so im curious.

So for a n00b like me who doesn't care about homebrew, emulators, etc, and only wants to play their backups and go on live occasionally, what harm is there in updating? Also I have my drive key saved in about 8 different places so that's safe

This is great news. Props to everyone who is working on this. Can't wait to get my hands on the exploit when its released.

You shouldn't have to worry because according to detox it is looking like there is going to be a release but only from tmbinc and its only going to be a portion of the exploit the full thing is still in development and rather or not that gets released is still out in the open.

This isn't Halo modding, this is just the start of XBOX 360 modding from there it will grow. Not sure how long it will take before other people are able to exploit it further, but that will come in time just like the original it took time at first, this took like 3 years to even gain the type of access. This is a great thing for the scene period. I don't know why people are against the release of a great accomplishment. One thing I've learned and many others also is that unless it's out for everybody then it doesn't exist. The video of this working is all the proof I need, good job to those involved.

Actually, for me, it is more a matter of convenience - granted it doesn't take much effort, but it is kindof a nuissance to have to get up and put the actual disc in the drive (whether you own it or not).

Right now, the entire concept of loading games onto the HD is virtually useless (in my opinion) - yes, it saves a few seconds here and there during bootup and between levels and what not, but to me, that is hardly worth the expense of having to buy a larger hard-drive. The only thing this "feature" does, in my opinion, is help Microsoft justify the need for their larger, more expensive hard drives, even though in reality there is very little benefit to having the big drive (this may change with Games on Demand and the like, but at this point, there is little need for a large hard-drive).

Now if you could load the games onto the hard-drive one time and then just put the discs away and never have to hassle with them again, that would be a feature that was worth-while.

If they just had a (weekly?) disk verification...
As in, you can install to the HDD and play without the disk for like a week or 2. Then after the 'expiration', you try to boot the game like normal from the HDD... you would be prompted to pop in the original game disk. After the disk verification you can enjoy the game without the hassle of messing with the disk (well, until the next time verification needs to happen of course).

Only problem with this idea is you can go to blockbuster and rent a game, give it back, and you'd still enjoy it for a while. But if you ask me that is a small price to pay when you compare that to the possibility that hackers will find their way around security and M$ is completely f*cked (inevitable and is happening right now).

Just my 2cents about that one.

The Xbox 360 doesn't hold it's time/date when you pull out the power plug.

And? I don't unplug my 360 everytime I use it heck rarely do i ever. I like the idea but it will never happen with Microsoft.

so any updates except the last one can be installed ?

yonsje · « **Reply #296 on:** August 14, 2009, 05:15:00 AM »

Nooooooooo...
I just updated my 360 a couple of hours ago

FalconLTD · « **Reply #297 on:** August 14, 2009, 07:26:00 AM »

that would be a cool idea how the xbox reads games from the hdd for 1-2 weeks. So the xbox losses it time everytime it is unpluged?? It doesn't hold time like with cmos battery or something?
My opinion on the homebrew, there will be just the software released to run the homebrew and then other people should release homebrew for the specific purposes. Like releasing windows(software) and word 2007 as homebrew. Cant wait

X-hacker · « **Reply #298 on:** August 14, 2009, 08:42:00 AM »

I wouldn't leave it plugged in...

Remember that guy that sued microsoft cos his xbox burned his house down? Faulty/overheating PSU?

Does this mean we can .MAP mod halo 3?
