It works: SATA optical drive on Xbox 360 |
Ó
Team modfreakz used a Philips DVD drive, a product available for PC users, and utilized the actual firmware from a retail Xbox 360 DVD drive - the BenQ VAD6038. So it's basically a Philips drive running on retail Xbox 360 firmware. Take note that this feat requires no actual modification to the game console, allowing the machine to log in to Xbox Live. Need to see to believe? Watch the video below.

Finally a solid solution (detectable fw mods suck).
damn thats awesome! so now if a ban does happen, just swap it to this...sweet s***
So backups work, Good. Warranty on your console is now zero as the seals are broken and the console has been tampered with, Bad.
As stated earlier in another thread the use of pirated games is a choice that the individual makes. However when a game costs 60 USD I would appreciate the ability to make a backup so that my original stays free of any damage risks.
My personal choice would be to save to a hard drive as was possible with the original xbox. The rights an wrongs of the above hack are an issue people could discuss forever but as a consumer if my 60 buck game gets scratched during use I have no rights. I am expected to purchase another copy. Until this issue is solved I can only comment, Hats off in respect to the modders.
This may not be what MS or Sony wants to hear from a consumer but if we pay for a game and it ceases to function correctly then there should be a policy of return the game with your receipt and receive a replacement without charge.
And I would go so far as to say that this policy should be valid for the life cycle of the console.
