maybe he just wanna share the story? maybe he want to tell everyone MS is really crappy when making security? plus, he didn't say anything about piracy. and if you read the whole story of hacking dvd firware, you'll know it need expensive equipment to flash the dvd chip and and a very expert programmer.

i think you are in delusion of the word hacking/modding.

Xbox 360 DVD Firmware HACKED

TheSpecialist posts on our forums:

Months of hard work have come to an end. The 360 FW security details were posted a few days ago already, so why not make it official  It's been done.

Respect to all the people on this board who made it possible with their brilliant contributions:

Anita999, Geremia, Nayr, Bluecop, Interestedhacker, MacDennis, Phantasm, Marvin, Tiros, SpenzerX, Team Modfreakz, Fuzzylogic, Takires, loser, jasper, SMO, Groepaz, Zobyone, Jumba, Amadeus, Tser, DjHuevo, oz_paulb, DaveX, darkfly, evestu, Robinsod, Dark_Neo, Gael360, Seventhson, probutus.

Just for fun, here's a little video: http://rapidshare.de/files/15810304/360hack.mpg.html. And no, the team decided not to release a hacked FW. The security details are proof itself. The team advocates hacking, not piracy.

Congratulations to everyone who has been working hard on this project here in the forums and elsewhere. Nice job! I am glad that XboxHacker.Net has been able to serve a place in this community once again. XBH does not advocate piracy and we hope that these advances will assist us on the way towards our end goal: custom software for the Xbox 360.
A little more about the hack: it's a firmware hack that circumvents some disc security mechanisms. Executables must still be signed; the hack does not allow code that hasn't been signed by Microsoft to run, so no custom software or Linux yet. The door has now been cracked open though.

I think this one is the latest one:

I can stringfellow keep bashing on piracy issues, all i can say is Sony sold more than 1 million of their PS2 thanks to piracy.
