Free60, a project that aims to enable Xbox 360 users to run homebrew applications and operating systems, announced that todays Xbox360 update overwrites the vital boot block. This is killing a vulnerability Free60 found that has been successfully exploited to run arbitrary code. A complete end user compatible hack has been in development for some time and is planned to be released on free60.org shortly.
Also statistics from other systems have shown that about one in a thousand bootloader updates goes wrong, and unless Microsoft has a novel solution to this problem, this puts tens of thousands of Xboxes at risk.
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
what?!?!... their software hacks and provides the ability to run linux OS on the 360's???.... and microsoft is killing their attempts after each update ... how did these guys manage to pull this off ?...
AHHHH, WOW?
I'm all for homebrew but with the recent posts about 1 vs 100 possibly being hacked and you have people jacking up their gamer score by hacking their profile I'm kind of glad MS are not letting the abusers get too far.
I've been part of the preview since the 2nd day and have updated my 360 3 times since due to fixes and I've had no problems what so ever. Xbox Scene seems to be fear mongering but probably just mad since they are also dedicated to hacking, cracking and pirating 360 stuff.
I don't think this has anything to do with PS3 fanboys as someone implied earlier.
PS: The update rocks!
DUH ? Why would MS care about pissing off HACKERS? They have to protect their own interests,as well as their fans/consumers.

Is nobody reading this? This is a huge risk to the end user
