Setting aside the fact that this product is free for existing owners already and how the end result can be achieved for free from people without the preexisting ownership, I think we are all forgetting here what this community is about.
There will always be a demand for services that require a degree of knowledge. If you have ever had your car serviced, or your plumbing looked at, then you know what I mean. A lot of people in this thread seem to bash Team Xecuter for providing a marketable product because they believe that their product is a rip-off of pre-existing technologies (or hacks) and can be performed very easily by one self. While this is true, they are forgetting that this is commonplace in every market!
People who don't want to open up their desktop or computer will prefer the less painful route. It is their time or money.
Do not forget that without companies such as Team Xecuter, the community here would not be as large since the learning curve would be too steep for any newcomers to join in. They encourage people to modify their consoles and download open source software which also encourages development and feedback. You have to start somewhere and if the more experienced people continue posting with a patronized tone, than they are shooting themselves in the foot. Questions get raised, people answer, other people correct others, people learn from each others responses, etc.

i think we can figure out the issue here, its the same with every tool released that lets newbies hack their xbox 360 on their own, all the people who charge for these "services" are pissed because they are loosing customers and creating more competion for people charging to use other peoples work for profit, the ammount of times you see "boohoo i work very hard modding consoles now noobs can do it and i dont get paid, whine whine you guys suck"
im sorry whinging about this is pathetic at least team xecuter probably gave anyone who helped in the creation of this stuff some cash as a lil thank you, how many "modders" here ever actually "donate" a bean to help keep c4e doing what he does, very few but im sure you will all *claim* to have donated this and that but i really dont care what crap you make up, shut up make your own code and charge people to use it then you can complain
Don't forget that Team Xecuter is a business. Without C4e and other contributes, the firmware may not have been hacked so soon and they would not be able to sell some of their products today. Don't try to blame the lack of monetary contribution from fellow hobbyists as a pitfall. Team Xecuter relieved heavily on advancements in 360 hacked firmware. The vast majority of people here don't make jack, even the people charging $30 for a firmware flash or whatever will always have a $10 or so overhead of shipping and devoting their own personal time. This is not sustainable at all and merely doing it for a quick buck. Sure, the service can be performed by oneself relatively easily, but what if you don't have time or the knowledge? Like I said above, if there is a demand for a service or product and other people take advantage of this, than why are you mad of their business? It's just capitalism.
