The video states that it is a prototype

0_o This is awesome, definitely will look into this.

 

[VashTS]

two words: AWWWWW YEAH

i will buy one. i HATE discs.

 

[Tonitonichopchop]

Damn, I might just have to buy a new xbox now.

 

[shakirmoledina]

if microsoft=sony, then expect some trouble but the fact that xbox has already been hacked (in one way or another) it wont be an issue.
the problem with hardware hacks are that u need to buy it and its a problem if u are an absolute freebie or live somewhere where u cant do so (for me the second one applies more than the first)

 

[Annieone23]

looks amazing. im sure this will be at least $100 bucks, and probably only good for online for at least a week but still, but for an offline solution where you can play any game in the huge backlog of xbox titles. im sold. now i just need an xbox haha.

as someone who has never had an xbox, i would love the chance to play some single player exclusives i missed out on. (already have a wii + recently a ps3)

Like a WODE for a 360... epic!

How hard is 360 hacking, and how detectable is it? I have never looked into it.

 

[epicCreations.or]

This is INCREDIBLE. If it doesn't cost more than $75 then I might consider buying it.

I think it's fairly hard, when compared to the ease of PS3 and Wii hacking. Detectable? Very. Stepto does his job well. You get what you pay for, really. You pay $60 a year for online services, and you get a mostly hack-free environment. (I've played plenty of Halo and some CoD, and have never once ran into a hacker.) You pay nothing, and you get week-long downtimes.

Hacking the 360 isn't really hard, although you do have to be very careful during the whole thing, follow instructions to a tee, etc... People that just try to breeze through the process the first time have a very high chance of bricking their console.

Yeah sure its not too hard, but if you doing it for online hacking then its basically pointless, they ban you within a few hours with a JTAG so unless you buy a new KV your banned.

 

[ManFranceGermany]

getting one for sure.
Love Wiikey 2 and fusion and as its the same team, I am sure everything is in good hands, I mean they even updated wiikey 1 for NSMB which was over 4 years old.

 

[gbatempfan1]

As long as the dash isn't upgraded and your using the latest abgx verifies isos it probably won't be detectable as it most likely passes anything that would give it away to the authentic dvd-drive that remains attached looking for the proper answer. It might even be safer in the long run as you can just abgx your isos for the latest stealth patches without having to reburn them. Even with newer dashes as long as no bugs or behavior is off between the device and the real dvd drive it should be pretty stealthy. Of course my theory rests on it using the real dvd as a dongle of sorts.

 

[shadow1w2]

This thing just looks good.
I'd love to move my collection to a hard drive and call it done.
No more worry about losing my discs and nice and easy lazy pick up and play.

I hope the backup disc to hard drive feature comes pretty soon.

Hopefully its not too expensive, I think I might just have to buy it.

 

[notmeanymore]

OzModChips says it'll cost $130. That's waaayyyy outta my price range. I'll hold off for a while.

 

[Snailface]

I fear that this thing will get blocked with an update, but oh well, 'till it works, why not.

And obviously, I'm expecting a $100+ price tag.

+1
And since this team has announced a release 3 months from now and has already described the nature of the exploit, Microsoft has plenty of time and knowledge to preemptively block this device. Real smart.

*thinks will buy it*
*looks back at PS3Break price*
*waits*

 

[Blue-K]

If you don't care about XBL (cause this will probably be blocked with an Update within some weeks after the release) it's for shure a nice device, and since the jTags are getting hard to find and are expensive, it's also a nice alternative. I'm interested, though I'll wait and see how this turns out...I've bought my last games since the AP2.5-Protection showed up, and I don't plan on getting banned because of a device I have to pay for

.

And of course it would be stupid to buy it day 1, since only "most Xbox 360 and Xbox 1 games" are supported, and the price will be way to expensive.
Also, c4eva hinted at something:

.

Tl;dr: Interessting, but I'll wait and see what happens.
