[quepaso]

Ive read multiple times today that XBLA games are now hacked. Im not really familiar with popular xbox hacking sites, can anyone fill me in?

In short with the new rebooter apps (need homebrew capable 360, see http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=193887 ) negating signing of everything that is signed some experimentation was done and it seems the XBLA demos are the full games but paying for them changes a small string unlocking the full game; if you were around for the shareware days of old you have probably seen the sort of thing I am on about.

Yes, i knew that all xbla games are full games but in demo mode until you purchase a tiny key to unlock it. I was just hoping it was a method to make your own key or something. Still great news tho, and once they find a exploit for the banned consoles, we're all in for some good times!
