I'm hoping they let XBMC's devs have a go.
I was just going to say that maybe they'll let homebrew developers create apps that they'll sign for them and distribute via Live. I know it sounds like a pipe dream, but you never know.

It would be cool if they did sign apps for people after testing them AND didn't want the source. Because then some sort of backdoor could be put into it to allow dumping everything.
Jerks like you are the reason this will never happen.
And that doc has been changed. The one linked a long time ago had a mention of only using strcpy in "critical parts of code where the speed is absolutely vital."

Only thing is MS should REQUIRE source code for apps people might want to have signed.
I can see something happening where MS allows us to develop them and burn them to CD, however they need a way to manage it. They can make it so it will only work with 1 gamertag somehow, they are MS, they will find a way.
The really big thing this would open though, is emulator ports.. Imagine if someone made a SNES emulator with all of the SNES games on a DVD.. illegal, but it would probably happen.

I would personally be very interested in the ability to develop games for the 360.

I believe MS *does* require source code for apps people might want to have signed. There's just something that doesn't bode well about signing strange binaries and making them run. Because the flash is writable, a person could "brick" a 360 with the right code. And that would suck. And without the source, MS would just sign it blindly and let people run it?
I'll agree that MS has made some major security mistakes in the past. However, they made their money through a series of rational, inteligent moves. They didn't make their money by being retarded.

Where? Ive been a member of garagegames for years (not the best $100 bucks Ive expent) and I havent seen that info no where in the site.
If this is true, you have just become my personal hero man.
Btw. I just realized xbox 360 can run Flash is it possible to have games in flash too?

What would the prupose of THAT be, other than piracy? We don't want to mod to pirate games (some of us), we want to mod to have the added functionality of something WE paid for.
