You still need to use the 007 method to get the files on there... so I really don't think they accomplished that much...

I couldn't disagree more. They've done everything (my favourite word today) that is neccesary to claim the prize. They have released a method that doesn't require opening up your XBOX to do anything and is permanent. I would surely think that this alone has enough merit.
Anyway, it's not "a mod", it's an exploit. Mega-X Key only works in the same way as a standard XBOX memory card (except it allows you to upload to it from a PC) and with 007/MechAssault, you've got all you need. Neither of these can be considered a "mod". Sure, together they can be used to circumvent the XBOX's protection, but this is most definately a mod free solution

I agree. It is a no-open-box solution.
Hmm. I wonder what kind of implications this will start?
Will every T,D and H be able to mod and bootleg the X? If so, then problems-are-a-coming.

That's what I believe too...
However, I do suppose this qualifies for the Xbox Linux prize... but I can't see myself using this anytime soon. I mean, what can you really do with it? Run backups on LIVE (for a VERY short time...)? Doesn't sound worth it to me...
Give me a $12 Cheapmod over this anyday...
Don't get me wrong... I totally respect the work and effort they put into this, but I myself don't think it's that great.
It is really just more of a pain to do this process then it is to install a modchip... so why bother? Plus, (unless you use it to flash your TSOP) it doesn't even have all the features of a modchip (i.e... HDD upgrade, etc...).
I suppose it could be useful for people who are too afraid to open their Xbox (yet somehow gain the courage to f#ck around with the dashboard files
) who want to run Linux, but other than that... I really don't see a use...

What you get your choice of mech assault or 007 and one memory cartridge already installed (maybe even a linux distro on a CD as well)
You load your choice of game and your done. You aslo have a new game and a new mem cart you know longer need.
Hmmm you could rent the whole kit out ?????
