June 23, 2005Xbox 360’s Hidden Features Put Hackers on High Alert
Posted by greg
Joystiq.com did a recent article about the launch titles for the Xbox 360, the real story in this article though is the announcement of hidden features on the Xbox 360 that wont be unlocked until about 1 year after it’s initial launch. I dont think it will be more then a month before those features are unlocked and widely used (if they are useful features).
Perhaps the most intriguing part of the story is about how Xbox 360 will have hidden features which won’t be unveiled until a year after the launch. Which of course means every Xbox hacker was just placed on high alert, and anyone with an internet connection will probably be able to find out how to access them by the following Valentines Day.
Guys, you know what is the hiden future is? Come on it’s siting in front of you. 360 is a full circle right? so XBOX 360 you will be able to play game in 360. Suround vision. Or 4 monitors. One front, one back and to side.
what is the point? how many people have 4 moniters? a space to set something like this up? 360 also means a revolution which is a play on words.. damn..
Good news for those who want to hack the 360, the xbox uses all upgraded win 2000 software with service pack upgrade codes. The box can be hacked quickly bye using the “xp” media center editoin code. If the chipset doesnt pick up the mce cose on boot it lockes, and if its hooked up to a internet connection it tells on you to microsoft, similair to when your pc has an issue and notifies microsoft for a solution. Hacking the xbox innitially wont be the issue but keeping ms from knowing is harder, you half to use a usb pen device to boot from to use other programs you loaded on the hardrive, the os shell in intergrated into the chipset, Cant wait till it hits open market
