The legendary Team Xecuter yesterday made a rather interesting discovery while ploughing through the Xbox 360's innards. It seems that the firmware chip of the TS-ODD drive has been protected with a big blob of glue. The glue prevents hackers from touching the firmware chip, they would also find it near impossible to remove the substance without damaging the chip.

Unregistered - zach 05.22.2006 14:23 i bet you they'll figure something out just in time for the halo 3 release so we have to deal with all the retards who can't play on their own skill. Unregistered - Ever 05.22.2006 15:05 I wonder how long it will take for hackers to break into the PS3... Unregistered - me 05.22.2006 15:20 2 weeks! lmao Unregistered - Optimusv2 05.22.2006 15:40 This is just perfect now those clowns will have to find another way of getting into the 360. They thought Microsoft overlooked it eh :) Reaper 05.22.2006 15:59 Couldnt they just melt the glue or maybe rub it off or somethin? It might take a while but it might work Unregistered - kkk 05.22.2006 16:01 You are all idiots.. no really you are! Unregistered - delh 05.22.2006 16:06 They'll likely end up burning the chip itself. Plus there are many people that don't like to make a mess of their work and attempting to melt that glue will do just that in a very big way. If it were possible to get it off via such methods they wouldn't even bother complaining about the problem in the first place. Unregistered - kkk 05.22.2006 17:01 ok lets start this! 1- no my friend, you suck! 2- ok my special friend i will say this one last time " you can not cheat with the firmware hack" if you still dont understand i can e-mail you a picture. 3- same answear as above. 4- less time than it took to hack the 360! 5- yeah hum no. 6- Extremely smart move? the hell? you think glue will stop hackers? 7- its not glue its Epoxy VERRY hard to get it off without screwing up! 8- thats me! 9- the first good comment here! Unregistered - Xgamer 05.22.2006 17:09 Guys this is SO amazing take a look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-KQdCR11-Q enjoy ;) Unregistered - greenrabbit 05.22.2006 18:07 so if the 360 posted labels of all its hardware on the side of the case it would be king? Unregistered - Fanboy alert!! 05.22.2006 18:41 Awesome!! That video was soooooo sweet!! I mean the shape and gloss on that empty plastic case is amazing! I wonder what kind of cool looking case MS could make. I mean heck if there is no hardware in it, why not make a 360 the size of a postage stamp so that you can put in your pocket! Now that would be awesome! Then we could post videos of the empty case, and give it a flashy title like '#11 is the queen of queens' or something like that!! As the topper, we could post some CGI cut scenes for an upcoming RPG (which strangely never ever ends), a video that was running on another console at E3 <cough> Assasins <cough>, and some random sequels for other titles (preferrably revision 4+ or above). I am going to get to work on this immediately! Unregistered - Fade To Black 05.22.2006 18:58 This video more accuratly tells the truth and is also good for some laughs... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IH2w2l1JTs4&search=sony%20e3%20conference Unregistered - pshizle 05.22.2006 19:34 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJElsNaC6yQ&search=sony%20e3%20conference Unregistered - KLU KLUX F*CK 05.22.2006 20:10 # 10 STFU, WHO DIED AND MADE YOU THE TECH KING, BASTARD!!!!! Lucid360 05.22.2006 20:37 ROFLMAO at the ps3 funny videos... those rock... Its RIDDGGEEEEEEE RACCEERRRRR!!!! Real battles in Japan with giant crabs and dealing massive damage... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH FreeMonk 05.22.2006 21:30 Yeah, that video is funny. I managed to see that about a week ago, and laughed myself silly. RIDDDGEEE RACCCCER!! As for glue, it's a stroke of genius by MS. Yeah, it probably won't stop the hackers finally cracking open the X360, but it will definatly stall them. If only other console makers, even MS themselves, realised this years back, hacking wouldn't be much of a problem as it is now. Glue, who'd of thought it would stop hackers! Unregistered - REDMOND BOYZ 05.22.2006 21:48 #8 like i was telling some ganster guy the other day, you people and your factions are no better than the trash our troops are killing over in Iraq, your a domesticated terrorist and we should send your asses to Iraq so you can die with the rest of the scum of man. Your hating angry hostile beasts and it makes me wonder if early man behaved like this, kkk your sub human in the head my friend. One more thing; im Japanese so you'll get it straight when you flame back at me. Just what we need, a tech savvy klan monkey. Unregistered - 3453 05.22.2006 22:34 So MS just decided to prevent hackers by using glue or epoxy or something like that. U got to be kidding me it just glue. yea it will be a little harder u just got to use an exacto knife. Reaper 05.22.2006 22:34 That PS3 video is pretty freakin funny and that wii60 wesite is pretty cool too Unregistered - my bad 05.23.2006 00:11 yo dude relax! i didnt mean to use the three k's that way i actually didnt even realise it until i read your message.. so chill out! Unregistered - rere 05.23.2006 00:12 oups i meant to number 19!

So here’s this giant enemy crab..." Hahaha “It’s RIIIIIIIGGGEEE RAAACEEEEERRRRRRR” Hahaha Don’t waist your money. Get a Wii and 360 instead for the same price.... Wii60.com Add Comment |
