It seems that some Xbox 360 owners have now begun to use the Xbox360 drive firmware hackes available on the net today to play Xbox360 burned games (mostly patched).
From one Xbox360 owner:
lol, useless ? im sorry but its far from useless..
Worried about a live update ? dont use live, or install the dual firmware hack.
Worried about games detecting the chip in the future ? how long till they get around that ?
Right now I have about 11 games booting and working perfectly on the 360.. I dont think I would call that useless.
Its a great step in the right direction, so I hope its only a matter of time before a full mod comes out so we can finally replace that lame lump of shit that Microsoft called a media player..
