If you think the news of the PS3 USB dongle mod is bad consider this...

Apparently Halo Reach has been leaked, almost a month early.

A buddy of mine who has somesort of a custom homebrew xbox 360 told me that he has it and is playing the campaign as I write this. Also...he has had the full Sonic 4 Xbox live game for weeks now.

I am very interested in playing both of these games and will most likely drive over to his place to check them out. But I have to say this sucks... I don't want people knowing all the weapons/maps months before I get Halo Reach!!!

I guess the good news so far is that neither of these games can be played on a regular modded xbox, but it needs to be somesort of a custom mod on an older xbox which hasn't been updated online...which apparently very few people can get.

Already posted. Two days ago.

Yeah...that it was snatched from Ms server, not leaked to public.

 Yeah technically it was released last night to the public so it's considered "new". Only problem is that your console has to be Jtagged in order to play it (modded firmware on your dvd drive wont cut it)

Yar Har fiddle de dee a pirates life for me!

this may actually help the games. 

to the first sentence...the ps3 dongle hack is going to be far worse terms of money lost imo.

..but either way, i really really really hate pirates and halo doesn't deserve this.

My bad I assumed they were the same.

its always " a friend of mine"

like we don't know you have a  Wii emulator on your PC.

Yeah, and I don't hide it... Dolphin emulator is freekin awesome.

But 360 without online capability is a useless console to me.
