I'm thinking about hacking my XBox again. I spent the weekend playtesting this Christmas' blockbuster game for Microsoft. I can't say which game but those in the know will know. Great fun.
I learned, talking to one of the other participants, that the state of the art in XBox hacking has progressed quite a bit in the last year or so. It's now possible to open up the box and insert a solderless "mod" chip that allows one to do all kinds of nifty things: run Linux, load your games from the DVDs into the hard drive, play your DVDs on the built-in DVD player (region-free), etc.
I'm going to get one shortly.. I'll report on what I hope is my success in the next couple of weeks.
