Well Im no whiz hacker, so I can only say my thoughts...

I actually wouldnt want Live to be hacked, currently its MS's best alternative for getting revenue out of the XB.  If it were hacked and everyone started using live without signing up, or with a modded XB, then I think the reason to produce more games for the XB would slowly build.  Eventually leading to the demise of this great gaming machine.

So you buy the game you play live on an unmodded XB...gotta let MS have some money.  And for people who dont care about live I guess do what you do to play games, rent, backup, gamefly, whatever...

I think thats fair.

M$ can update live anytime very easily.  Thats why live will never be "hacked".

*wow, never is a big word.

The bottom line is it wouldn't currently be difficult.  It would take a lot of time and resources to do such a thing and once ms found out about it they surely could "patch" it within hours.  So there really is no point.  Kind of like if you could break into fort knox but not get out alive.  You might as well not try.  Hacking live is one thing, being able to keep it going or even distribute it to get some benefit without MS being able to rapidly fix it is something entirely different.

You will never get rid of cheaters. There is still the action replay and you can still load hacked games saves that work on xbox live.

It's not hacked because of two reasons a.) most of the popular hacking teams have swore not to touch it, and b.) it's difficult to hack.

From My understanding using an Action Replay (AKA GameShark) it will not allow you to logon to live or stuff like that :- I could be wrong Thanks. Plus hacked saves usally require a modded xbox which is banned anyways as you logon to Live, even if you did sign the hacked save it still doesn't work for PSO which is really the only xbox live game where your saves really do matter :- Just IMHO

Actually, the issue is cheating, doesn't matter if it's a legitimate game save or a hacked one. I am not sure if both work or not on live. What I do know is that I am not willing to spend hours beating a game to unlock it when I can grab the game save that has everything unlocked. Some of these games that I play on live, I would never waste my time with playing them alone.

Yeah just looked at the first post,didn't read the rest just taking a quick look around, few years back i remember someone robbing a atm by cutting the connection between the atm and the server at the central bank, and tricking both the atm into thinking the card was valid and give the person at the machine cash, and the server was told all clear this end nothing happening, could the same method be applied, hopw you understand this.

if they found about it it didnt work and he got caugh so same would happen to xbl

Go Screw Yourself!  See the button that says search it is green and on the top of the screen in the left hand corner PUSH IT!

WTF!!!

firstly..i do not like nor participate in flame wars.. but there is one fact.. u have no idea about anything and should be banned/suspened.. you have made the exact same post in three topics and only one is slightly founded on fact..

this is a very new question that is worth asking.. because youve seen someone say "use the search button" at an approprate time does not mean saying it will make you seem better or more inteligent ..

use some sence... and for god sake change your sig!

my opinion on the topic at hand is that because there has been such an outcry of people that don't want it touched many are listening and looking not to displease the public.. i personally would like to see it hacked.. but feel the people that don' have a very valid point.

.sith.
