"Public key is stored on cpu die"
Wait, what? What do you want to do with public keys? Private keys is what is interesting, not public keys... That's why they are called "public". And stored on the die? In which way? Printed?
Sorry, but I am really doubtful and smell a little bit... eh... bullshit

XOne saved ;)

Honestly, much of the success of PS2 came from how widespread modded PS2 consoles were.



Nice. Now I just want to see Super Mario War 1.8 run on the X1! Make it happen, hackers!

They mean the way Sony needed to roll out new hardware? All it takes is a firmware update that locks you out of LIVE if you don't update. Pretty bloody useless if you want online play.



Get ready to see a lot of people complaining about being banned "unfairly" for hacking their consoles on the Xbox One ban board in the future.

Most people who mod don't really care about online. It's all about playing as many single player games as possible for the cost of a blank DVD.

That's why the best solution this gen is not DRM, but producing must have online-reliant games (Titanfall, Destiny, Division....) This way modding XOne makes absolutely no sense.

Wow, this was quick if its true! I am gonna keep an eye on this one. Might get an x1 instead of a ps4 after all but we will see

Previous consoles/handhelds took years to get hacked, x1 took only months? Jeez


I dont want to advice you. But please try to get legit games for xbox one. Things like these effect legit gamers and gaming industry in general.


That's a hoax. There is no loss for the industry, only a potential gain. People don't pirate games they want to buy. And the biggest pirates are usually the ones with the biggest collection of retail titles (Sometimes even legit digital titles, even if doesn't make sense to me).

That's a "potential gain" because publishers believe that with more DRMs, pirates will buy their games. What really happens is that pirates wouldn't pay for these games anyway, so won't buy it, and part of the legit audience will not buy the game because of extensive DRM preventing them from playing how they want.

Edit : And there is a world between homebrews and commercial games. It took months for the psp to get homebrews, way more for commercial games if i remember correctly. Homebrews are cool.



If this would actually make sense to me and it'd be possible to run homebrew on the bone, I really would consider buying it just because of emulators

So because of pirates, we get to deal with more crappy DRM, it does effect legit gamers. Glad you agree.

I've been on both sides, pirate among pirates as a teenager. Sorry none of us had a big collection of retail games. Lots of blank floppies though to copy more and more games.
As a developer I had to deal with our software appearing for free on the internet and having to work with annoying drm and data encryption because of that. Worst was the cheap chinese knock off though, couldn't do anything about that.



Some people just want to see the world burn...
