It's getting closer: the latest Blaster 360 FAQ

Blaster 360 goodnessTeam Xecuter's really gotten everyone intrigued. As the end of the year draws ever closer, mod fans are probably wondering what the status of that nifty new device called the Blaster 360 is. The building process seems to be finished already, so all it needs is an official release date.

Now, while the fellows of Team Xecuter haven't given a final release date, they have opted to answer many of the questions people have about it. You might be surprised at some of the little details in this latest installment of their FAQ.

For those who still don't know what this is or are new to modding, the Blaster 360 is a switching tool, allowing you to flash update your 360's firmware without the need to tinker with the case after installation. It doesn't actually do the flashing for you (You'll still need the requisite SATA or X360 USB for that) but it does make the process a lot cleaner.

For specific concerns, they've also added some clarifications. For one thing, the Blaster 360 has an MS28 on/off switch for flashing the Samsung MS278 drives. Better still are some incoming developments for Hitachi 078 models. While they do mention that their new device can't flash update Hitachi 078 types, they already have a prototype modchip in development that you could buy separately once it's good to go.

Here's the best part: you can dump game data to your PCs with this thing! If that isn't a sweet deal, then we don't know what is.

Keep checking QJ for more updates, as the team will also post detailed instructions for the Blaster 360 very soon.

The only way I could get my hitachi into mode b was with the 2 wires trick as my sata chipset isn't supported. Wonder if this will eliminate that or not. If not it will be useless to a lot of people......
