Whatever dude , life will go on and another hack will come out , that is the fun in this hobby.
Exactly, modding/hacking and such wouldn't be fun if there wasn't a challenge. I agree, it sucks that MS does stuff like this, but in the event we had to reflash with a new firmware (I know thats not the case), I wouldnt mind. I personally enjoy working on Xboxs very much. It's all part of the game.
I do not understand why, if we rip a retail XGD3 backup using the 0800 firmware, and then burn with LT Burner Max, why would that disk still fail current AP2.5 checks? It's not like the AP2.5 data on the physical disc changes every other week.. I plan on buying the Halo Anniversary remake today, if I buy that game it will have the same AP2.5 replay data on it 1 year from now. I could be missing something or not understanding something correctly though...
