Xecuter Blaster360: Xbox-Scene High-Res Sample Pictures

We received a sample of the Xecuter Blaster360 (pre-order: USA/CAN|EU/UK|Asia) last week from Team Xecuter. I've been testing it over the last few days and will post more details about the installation process (which is fully solderless btw) and how it operates in another news post very soon. In meantime I'll already share these exclusive high-res pictures I took of all components (incl. internals of the external switch board etc) and the packaging.
However keep in mind Team Xecuter told us our sample is still a pre-production model with some hand-soldered parts etc ... so don't see this as the final product yet.

The Xecuter Blaster360 is an external switching device when, once fitted, allows you to flash your DVD Firmware without ever having to open up your Xbox 360 case ever again.

Here's an overview of the content of the package:

Here's how the packaging looks like:

looks good, but is it really necessary?

you don't need to update your firmware everytime a new one comes out.
ive done it twice on my drive. the initial flash and then an upgrade when the xbox 1 backups flash came out.

I bought my 360 in Nov. 06...flashed it Dec. 06, and havn't opened it up since. (hell, their hasn't been any newer firmware releases for it since then)...(not that I care though, it already does everything I want it to do).

this device is pointless.

at 80 bucks each you dont have to sell too many though

i'd buy it for 20, but 80 is way too steep.

In the light on one of the new items following this one ('Hello World' - First Public Homebrew Code Running via Hypervisor Expl), maybe there will be a need for more frequent flashes after all. Just as there were plenty of flash revisions when the DVD-hack was just starting up...

And people, stop your bitching. You don't like this, don't get it. Simple. I am sure there are people out there that will appreciate something like this, as they may require more frequent flashes for various reasons.

Personally, no need for it. Therefore it must be absolute crap. Get a life!

Nice, I'm looking forward to the review. If I'm ever to get a 360 and flash the firmware I would definitely get this.

A Year to Half a year ago.... fine.... now, no chance
