Devil 360: Modchip for the Xbox 360

>> We received this news today from the Devil360 Team:

Our server is currently down due the huge amount of hits we received yesterday. We will move to more powerful servers and we hope to be back online tomorrow.

The Devil360 will be a modchip for the Xbox 360 console, the 'small' security hole has been found! This device is in no way related to the DVD firmware exploits - it's a totally different approach.

However we did not manage to get the product ready for today (6/6/6), because we are working hard on improving it to:

* Try to protect it from any type of update

* Make it programmable via PC

* Boot unsigned code

* Allow to swap HD with larger drive with a special interface between the 360 and the HD (all types IDE/SATA).

* And more...

We understand, certainly after the ICE modchip story, that people will not easily believe this so we will send prototypes to some scene sites as soon as they are ready, so they can confirm it's real.

The modchip will be sold without any code.

We also discovered some shops already take pre-orders for this product. Do not pre-order it!

We did not announce any distributors yet and the device will not go on pre-order until at least after the prototypes have been tested/reviewed by independent sites.

και αυτο που ΔΕΝ φαινεται στις ακινητες φωτογραφιες ειναι το πολυ καλο animation αλλα και οι γυαλαδες και τα εφε του περιβαλλοντος.

οσοι εχουν κατεβασει τοσο το trailer οσο και το behind the scenes της Ε3 απο το xboxlive το ξερουνε καλα αυτο.

Microsoft to Make XBL Update Available on Disc

But on what games? And when? Questions linger.

by Luke Smith, 06/06/2006

The Xbox Live Update is now available for those with broadband Internet connections. Microsoft hasn't forgotten the half of all Xbox 360 users that don't actually use Xbox Live, and are currently working on finding a way to deliver the update (which updates a significant amount of offline functionality for the Xbox 360) to users without Live. Microsoft's solution is that the update will be made available on game discs (much like how firmware upgrades are included on discs for Sony's PSP). However, considering that the Spring Update was approved hours before it went live, it seems like a bit much to ask for simultaneous availability (that whole production of game discs with the update on them and then distributing the discs is the equivalent of the Pony Express compared to a the Ferrari of the Internet).

So when will gamers see the update head to discs? One would hope Microsoft will attempt to reach an agreement with EA to insert the update on NCAA Football 2007 -- which appears to be the next big mover on the summer release list. Otherwise, gamers may be waiting until the fall (and there's another XBL Update slated for the Fall) to get the update from one of the Microsoft Game Studios titles that is expected later this year. Other options for "channel distribution" may be entertained, but Microsoft is keeping that hand close to its chest -- for now.

Stringer: Xbox 360 Is An 'Obsession'

In an interview with the WSJ, Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer reveals his admiration for the skill of Bill Gates salesmanship, and when drawing comparisons to the success of Sony's Da Vinci Code he said 'Xbox 3' instead of 'X-men3'. To which Stinger responded 'there's an obsession!' He also tries to justify the high PS3 price tag and says it is aiming to be the center of the living room.

When talking up the box office sales of Sony's Da Vinci Code movie, Stringer said, "It also beat Xbox

3 in

Europe in its second weekend," at which point WSJ tech columnist Walt Mossberg corrected, "You mean X-Men 3." Laughing, Stringer retorted, "There's an obsession!"

When the interview's topic switched to videogames and Xbox, Stringer said, "God I walked into that, didn't I ... Look, the skill of Bill Gates is he's so brilliant at his detail that when he slips in the salesmanship, most of us think: oh my God, he must be right. ... He talked on the one hand, and I loved it, he talked about [Windows] Vista [being] delayed as if the delay was normal, and then he started mocking me for delaying PS3 [PlayStation 3]."
