just remember, you still cant run homebrew, so the only point of this hack is for either backing up your discs, or piracy.

read into it a little more, there is more to playing your back ups than just getting this firmware. From what i am told you will have to do all back ups on DVD+R DL and make sure that you have the game data and security sectors of the game.

Hmm, some group will probably produce a modchip based on this hacked firmware. Only a matter of time now :)

That's pretty good news, I wonder how long it will take before they do this for the PS3 as well.

erm guys is it possibal that xbox live can update the firmware with an xbox live update? coz if it is we are in s***.
the thiing with xbox 360 is even if you hhave a mod chip to play pirates only for when its off xbox live, when your on it oiit will still update it making it unsable to play pirates offline or on.
but if its impossiba for them to reprogram the firmware ill start doing it to my xbox. and i heard ages ago that instead of opening the whole dvd drive to bits you will be able to just un a simpel exe file from your computer with the dvd drive plugged it so it will be easier.

I'm beginning to think that a modchip solution based on this might offer up solutions too. That way the chip could be stealth 99.9% of the time, then when it comes time to check the SS of the disc, in steps the chip for a split second with an override.
Gives a lot of encouragement and focus to all the other groups working at a solution at least, hopefully they work out a way to run homebrew some time soon too.

But heres the real question.
When buying an Xbox 360, is there any way to tell if it will have the Toshiba/Samsung drive, and not the Hitachi drive? Maybe the serial number would give some indication. Does anybody know?

Within a few weeks I don't think it will matter which type you have, it should be a pretty similar process so just be patient. You can order a refurbished drive from various places on the net I think, maybe US$75 I saw for a Samsung. You just need to grab the DVD ID from your existing drive and make the new one masquerade as the old one.
