Xbox 360 F/W
Not too sure how many of you keep up with this, but its an interesting read to see what hackers can do.
We have made some progress with a new read/patch/write app and no doubt you will all be plugging in your drives to your PC and having some fun shortly - all for free too as no modchips required (and yes we still want to play!)
Here is what we envisage...
* Connect Xbox 360 DVD-ROM to PC
* App to update firmware with magic code
* Connect DVD-ROM back to 360 - and away you go
Also this site has some killer information: http://www.kev.nu/360/dvdshort.html [posted yesterday on x-s, more info on what it is here]
Obviousley the only use for this is piracy - hence you wont see any modchips (not from us at least - however they wouldn't be needed anyway - however we do have a few cheap tools to make life much easier - more on that soon). Still a long long way off from unsigned code - but it's a start....
Thanks to The Specialist for reviving the scene! We understand he doesn't want to release anything due to possible backlash - but there are many of us who would - and will.
Keep your eyes on our 360 forums for updates...
BTW: Qwix(info)2 Rules! :-)

We have made some progress when connecting the Xbox360 DVD ROM to a PC - reading the firmware and then writing back to it. Our goal is to make this plug and play - as simple as possible that anyone could do it with no fuss - and without any great expense.
We have a couple of products lined up to make life incredibly simple for the DVD drive modder - one of which will (in our opinion) be the "tool of choice" in the near future.
Here's a picture of a 360 DVD ROM connected to a PC.

It still isnt out 
. But it will let you run your backups. The xbox360 has a very bad problem with scratching disk while in the xbox360. So this way after you buy a game you can copy it and burn it, then tuck the original away for safe keeping and only risk a 2 dollar dl dvd, instead of a 60 original.

They have something like that for xbox,ps2,ps1,gamecube,dreamcast,psp,gameboy,ninten do ds. Every system out. Except the ones for the ones i listed are much better than the mod for xbox 360. They actually let you run unsigned code. And thats a whole other world. Like on my psp I can play snes nes games and even listen to streaming radio or xm if i want.
