Q: Est-ce qu’il y a des avantages à utiliser les jeux Xbox sur ma Xbox360?
R: Absolument. L’une des grandes satisfactions concernant le jeu sur Xbox360, c’est de savoir que chaque jeu sera jouable en haute définition. Nous sommes fiers d’annoncer que cette possibilité s’étend aussi aux jeux Xbox d’origine. Chaque jeu Xbox d’origine verra sa résolution passer à 720p et 1080i et profitera des capacités d’anti-aliasing de la Xbox360 qui fournit une image plus claire et plus nette que tout ce qui existe sur Xbox.

Dangerous Xbox 360 Update Killing Homebrew
On Tuesday, Microsoft has released an Xbox 360 software update that overwrites the first stage bootloader of the system. Although there have been numerous software updates for Microsoft's gaming console in the past, this is the first one to overwrite the vital boot block. Any failure while updating this will break the Xbox 360 beyond repair. Statistics from other systems have shown that about one in a thousand bootloader updates goes wrong, and unless Microsoft has a novel solution to this problem, this puts tens of thousands of Xboxes at risk.
It seems that this update is being done to fix a vulnerability already known to the Free60 Project. This vulnerability has been successfully exploited to run arbitrary code, and a complete end user compatible hack has been in development for some time and is planned to be released on free60.org shortly. It will allow users to take back control of their Xboxes and run arbitrary code like homebrew applications or Linux right after turning on the console and without the need of a modchip, finally opening up the Xbox 360 to a level of hacking as the original Xbox.
Because of the dangerousness of the update and the homebrew lockout, the Free60 Project advises all Xbox 360 users to not update their systems to the latest software version. The Project website at http://free60.org/ will provide the latest information on this ongoing topic, including the final hack software.
Free60 (www.free60.org) is a project that aims to enable Xbox 360 users to run homebrew applications and operating systems like Linux on their consoles. The effort is headed by Felix Domke and Michael Steil, who have a background in dbox2, Xbox and GameCube hacking, and who have spoken at various conferences about their findings. Two years ago, Free60 released a hack that allowed arbitrary code execution using a game ("King Kong Hack") as well as an adapted version of Linux, but this possibility has been disabled by Microsoft in subsequent updates of the Xbox 360 software.
Felix and Michael have repeatedly argued that game console manufacturers should open up their platforms to Linux and homebrew, similar to what Sony has done with the PlayStation 3.
Nhut (./499) :Ah la bonne blague ! Sony "n'autorise" le homebrew sur PS3 que dans un environnement très limité, notamment avec quasiment aucun accès au hardware graphique. Autant vendre une voiture en disant aux gens "vous pouvez transporter qui vous voulez avec, par contre la boîte de vitesse sera bloquée en première".

Hé ben voilà, Sony aussi a fini d'être hypocrite: la nouvelle PS3 ne supportera plus Linux
