@Vidikron: We are talking about to completely seperate things little buddy. I'm talking about the exploit surrounding access to the full system, not the exploit for playing burned software. Just because you don't care doesn't make the discovery any less relavent. I doubt anyone involved in this discussion is claiming…
@Gambit09: The science behind Uncharted 3 and Tomb Raider!
@Vidikron: Please watch the video. It may give you better context. Essentially, a small segment of the population of 360s were at one point hackable hence the larger population has yet to be hacked; I didn't mean to state it as an absolute that they can't be hacked. I mean a majority of them have yet to be hacked.…
@Vidikron: I'm not sure they're apple to apple comparisons but whatever floats your boat.
I don't know what I can say without sounding like a hater other than I'm sure it must have taken a lot of time.
@RRW: Xbox can't answer your question silly! Its just a machine. Go ask a human being that might care :)
@Squiddles: In the video and in my comment, we both admit that a tiny segment of 360's had a bug and were compromized but MS fixed it quickly. Save for that small match, the 360 at large remains unhackable. I guess to be clear, I'll state that a small batch of 360's were hackable.
@Asbestos_Underwear: I'm not afraid :)
@Asbestos_Underwear: You're failing to see the big flaw here. Pirated games are the least of their worries. You can now have a PS3 that's capable of talking to PSN. BTW, pirating is the lesser of the challenge when compared to what this hack does. A less savvy set can figure out pirating. Nothing is safe anymore.
@Neige: No, no it isn't :(
@Luke Plunkett: ಠ_ಠ
@thesircuddles: Believe it or not, the best speakers are typically speaking to the general populous because they need help listening. When people genuinely want to listen, perfect articulation is not necessary.
@Tarv: that gave me a good long LOL moment :D
@Zhris: You seem to have plenty of reasons why you don't think its a good idea but why stop others?
@Asbestos_Underwear: In the video, they go extensively into why the PS3's security scheme was an "epic fail". Case in point, the 360 has actually remained mostly unhacked other than for the fact you can play pirated games and it's been out for five years. Hackers really only tried for about a year on the PS3 and they…
@hkjangshu: YET!
@Thorax: Horny virgins? :/
One thing I got from the video is that only a few strains of the Xbox are hackable and MS can patch those. The 360 can commit sepuku if you try to downgrade it :D I guess even though the 360 can be hacked to run pirated games, It can't be hacked to run unsigned software(?)
@nantukoprime: Well from what I understand from the video, loader is "built-in" on the processor so Sony can't change it. They compromised the loader by figuring out the private key it uses to verify it can load a piece of software onto the OS portion of memory. Now they can basically load anything INCLUDING software…
