Here's a quick summary "we did a lot for the Xbox, stuff is happening for the 360 and the PS3, we're not looking to discuss it, and people who don't like our products can STFU because they're immature (besides we all know telling someone STFU is really mature). Did I miss anything?
I will be the first to say this team did a lot for the original Xbox, but they're doing nothing today but skidding along on their past credit and karma. No I couldn't do it nor do I care to, but they need to just hang back and let things go before they become a shadow of their former selves.

i wish they would say something about blaster being made in china after all those "no cheap-china quality" claims;) looking forward to x360 homebrew tho:)
The products aren't manufactured in China, as stated earlier by X-Staff.

my manufacturing is in TAWAIN which is far superior to Chinese manufacturing - they still close for Chinese New Year rolleyes.gif

Taiwan celebrates Chinese New Year too, making everything basically offline for the past month.

yes, they did an amazing amount of incredible work while delivering superb products for the original xbox.
and you say they are "doing nothing today" - well then what team in your opinion is doing anything for the 360 today...
exactly...there is nothing quality out by anyone because the system has not been completely hacked...
thus, everyone is doing nothing for the 360 today...
...patience is a virtue...

* Soft-Mods: How far away do you think we are from having homebrew on the xbox360.
We already have homebrew, don't we? (XNA)

i think they mean homebrew you dont have to pay a monthly sub to fully enjoy and its right about what is said the 360 is not hacked so there is nothing you can really do untill it is apart from actually hack the thing.
but talking crap about someone because they talk crap about you isnt the right way to go if what other people say is unfair they should trash them by doing things the others cant, be patient and let there skills put them in there place.
an interview is hardly the time to get petty

That or they weren't around when they released a bios every 2 weeks.

lol. I was actually the one that held the interview. I think Xecuter will surprise you all again whenever the 360 gets hacked. As he said, they are the ones that did all the magic with the bios and all that for the Xbox1.. So just be patient and keep your mouths closed!
They did a lot for Xbox 1 but certainly weren't the genius behind it..
The hacks were made public and they capitalized...

They have reasons not to disclose much. Anyone who discounts how much they contributed is an idiot.

aahh those bios
We had to clean the blaster 360 thread a few days ago of many unjustified comments (even more in the view of what they have done in the past). To be honest, I was feeling bitter at these comments.
Many presented respectful opinions on specific aspects, and I am sure he would have taken that without problem. Some were simply cheap shots and the most violent were usually those with less justification.
Hope they get a chance to jump in the action again.
And yes Heet avatars are always ummmmh captivating

This is true they didn't find any new exploits or any exploits at all they simply made money from quality products. I will be the first to admit I have never been a Xecuter Fanboy, just by reading my sig you will notice I have an Xenium. I have put in over 30 or so Xeniums and 1 Xecuter, their products for the xbox 1 are by no means superior imo but on the other hand they are anything shy from getting your bucks worth.
Since the release of the 360 Xecuter hasn't hacked anything, however they gained a customer (me) by staying in the game and releasing "tools/toys" whatever to make the our lives easier. Yeah they make money from it but they do have time invested so they should. How many other xbox1 chip makers are in it for the long haul? Certainly not the company I gave all my business too, for this I say sorry Xecuter and as soon as homebrew is out(if you crack it or not) you got my support.
Hats off guys for staying in the game! Keep up the great products...Thank You!

I'm sorry bro but this is nonsense. The only thing EVER to be released before Xecuter existed was the RC4 v1.0 key. But how do you know one of our team members weren't directly or indirectly involved in that ? The fact is you don't know.
I hate to "bang our drum" but there is too much speculation of we have done or haven't done in the past.
Hardware
The first ever Xbox Modchip (direct on the fly patching - members of Xecuter involved - the product was not called Xecuter)
The first ever LPC based modchip - before cheapmod (First Xecuter named mod)
The first ever 4 x 256k Multibank External Switching modchip
The first ever on-the-fly eeprom editable modchip
The first mod with a dedicated 256k Flash Rom Backup
First custom case hardware such as the X3 Control Panel
World's first Xbox 360 Homebrew Mod Project
Software
First team to crack the RC4 v1.1 Encryption key (the only other team in the world to do it after us was the Linux guys - NO mod teams were ever close or had any clue)
First team to hack the Xbox Kernel Build Tree to run on a retail Xbox (no one else came close for 2-3 years after we were successful)
First team to ever reverse enginer the Xcalibur Video code to run on the Xbox kernel build tree
First team to release a stand alone DVD player for the Xbox (DVDX v1 and DVDX v2 - no other player was released for 3 years after ours)
Most of the major BIOS hacks (credits for others' work was noted in ALL our nfo released with every Bios)
The first (and only) on-the-fly patchable xbox bios
The first team to embed an xbe into a bios
30+ bios releases over 5 years
World's first Xbox 360 Homebrew Modchip Sourcecode
A little more than "capitalizing"
