By now most of us have heard about the 360key, or new optical drive emulator. Now the WODE (makers of the Wii optical drive emulator, or WODE)team has announced their own solution at half the price of the 360key. Stay tuned!
Dear Customers,
X360KEY is coming... ETA end of june...
we can only say this: "XBOX OPTICAL DRIVE EMULATOR aka XODE" is coming... For now we can not release specific information or images, which would benefit x360key...
after seeing the features and prices x360key we can say that:
1- Fortunately x360key follows the "old" approach of Wode... XODE instead introduces a new way of working really original... we will surprise you.
2- XODE will work on XBOX SLIM since its launch with a 100% support of AP25.
3-Half price then a X360KEY in production!!! thanks the new "original" concept of point 1...
We plan to release a first proof of working at middle/end of may with a nice video working on a X360 SLIM console... and a detailed review near the release of X360KEY... Production will be ready on JULY.
We advise all to wait before place BIG pre-orders from WIIKEY/X360KEY team, it is wise to don't risk too much... after not tell us that there were not warned...
PS: we found time also to update WODE platform, finally the WEB interface is almost ready, we plan to release this feature next week.
PPSS: official website of XODE is www.xodejukebox.com ;) soon online...
"All drives should be updated to Lite Touch + (LT+) firmware if playing on XBOX live. Samsung drives and pre-78/79 Hitachi drives do not utilize AP 2.5. All other drives are considered to be detectable by Microsoft (YMMV). Make sure all rips are ABGX verified, contain SSv2, and patched AP2.5 (where needed). XGD3 must currently be burned on new drive with PC Burner Max firmware for 100% rip. All modded consoles can be potentially unsafe for use on XBOX live."

There are a couple of posts in their forums that also confirm Xode, why they took it down from the news page is a big question to me. From the sounds of their own forum members, I'm not so sure I trust the reliability of their time frames to deliver it though.
