Xbox 360 firmware hack prevents banning consoles

iXtreme firmware change for the Xbox 360 prevents Microsoft from banning moded consolesA couple of weeks ago Microsoft started banning mod’d Xbox 360 game consoles from Xbox Live (just the consoles, not the user accounts). The modified consoles were able to play copies of games which Microsoft felt was not fair to everyone. Due to this Microsoft started detecting the game consoles when users would log on, and banning them from Xbox Live when found.

Now, in just a matter of days the hacker community has volleyed back to Microsoft with firmware called called iXtreme Firmware 1.0 which when installed will prevent Microsoft from detecting the modified game console and hence avoid any potential banning. I’m sure it’ll now just be just a matter of time until Microsoft retaliates. Game on!

    I think a military veteran’s “commitment to service” makes them especially vulnerable to retiree guilt. Besides, after you’ve spent an entire career taking care of your people, in retirement it’s sometimes hard to set limits.

    Vengeance and Virtue is a source of great entertainment that is easy to pick up. Whether you’re a dedicated Marvel fanatic or just someone who likes pinball, you shouldn’t have too much trouble enjoying the game.
