Microsoft has downplayed the impact of software piracy for its next-generation games console in Korea, confident that the DVD firmware hack will be countered by updates on Xbox Live and the problem will be neutralised through software updates, which are automatically detected and prompted for installation whenever the console is connected to Xbox Live. this is nice but i think people who never goes online can still play pirated game on their modded 360 what do u think guys ?
Microsoft has covertly patched a security vulnerability in Xbox 360 that allowed hackers to run their own software. Disguised as an "operating system update," the patch seals off the console's non-privileged memory areas, which hackers are using to do such depraved things as write "Hello World" and try to run Linux. The update will be included with all games released after February 20 and is available to download via Xbox Live or the Xbox website (burnable onto CD or DVD). You best grab it before the uncontrollable urge to indulge in naughty hackery takes hold.
So guys do u think microsoft will be able to stop piracy after this online patch or hackers will find another way to hack again ?
