What's up with there still being no software exploit? Consoles as new as the PS5 have software homebrew exploits, yet the 360 is still completely secure. Did Microsoft really take its time with hack-proofing its firmware?
The Xbox 360 is 18 years old

"On the other side, if you have a 4552 or later kernel version, you can not use this exploit. The exploit was fixed in 4552 and onwards."
Is there a way to flash an older kernel?
The King Kong Shader exploit is technically a software exploit - but it requires/d are hardware mod to trigger.
But you are comparing apples and pears tbh, because even the latest revision of the Xbox 360 is still not hacked.
Microsoft does know how to make their boxes secure.
But they also know how to draw away the attention from the hackers that might become dangerous to them.
The skilled people only want to run homebrew, which they can do in dev mode.
And the pirates seem to be fine with game pass, since it gives you most of the latest games for a small fee without any cat and mouse game.
Two points where Nintendo and Sony fail - that's why I think they are interesting targets to hack (apart from the larger user count).

I also wouldn't call Game Pass being a point where Sony fails. But yes, I get the point. And you get mine.
For all of this time, I didn't know that the Xobx 360 to this day is still hard to crazk open. yeah there's the Hong Kong exploit, but it's much harder to do that than to do something like the WiiU or the PS3.
Speaking of the PS3, has that system have been hacked yet? And if so, what is the potential that it has compared to something like the original Xbox with it's extensive library of games that it can enjoy?

Not since it has e-fuses that burn out with updates.
That being said, it might be possible to modify an old kernel with newer kernel numbers, but then it wouldn't work because of needing to be properly signed.
Oh damn, really? Incredible! What does the PS3 have for potential? What can it play?
PS1, PS2 (ISOs and Emulated versions from the PSN), PS3 (of course), and other retro consoles. It's fantastic really and you can customize the boot up screen and sound of the system if you don't want the standard.
Mine has the PS buttons as the boot up screen with the PS1 boot up sound.
Okay, that sounds more promising than the original Xbox. Does modding allow non-ps2 compatible ps3s to play ps2 games? Although it sounds obvious, I'm asking cause I'm still learning things.
Of fucking course there are the fuses. The units with the proper kernel flashed probably sell for quite a lot.
Via ISO you'll find out if it works.
Dead or Alive 2 on PS3 is just playable at best, while the Dreamcast and Xbox (remake) are the best ones.
On PS3, the best DoA is the 5th one.
Where is the best place that I can get a PS3 Slim/SuperSlim? We bought 3 og ones and they all died on us
Then Xbox 360 is now old enough to go to war (with Sony) and die (The Red Ring of Death)!
Nah, no one gives a shit about King Kong exploit anymore.
No one wants to buy an old unreliable Xenon console, to run an exploit, that does nothing other than load linux (that's as far as the King Kong exploit went iirc, and you're also stuck on that Xbox kernal, so no newer xbox games), when you can buy a nice reliable late Falcon/Jasper/any slim except winchester, RGH it and do so much more.
As for no new software exploit, Microsoft locked it down, simple as that. Not like no one was looking, just nothing there. Same as there is nothing for Winchester since MS fixed RGH.

@SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that

@Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.+1 -

I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol

I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
