Jasper has the 4th generation drives as well, they are unhackable thank god - which is good for developers who don't want to see their good work stolen.

 

 Unhackable is impossible. The harder you make t the more determined people will get to prove this point.

The security was breached in the DVD drive not the system, the system security is pretty strong. Once they close the DVD hole which they are doing with Jasper it becomes unhacked again. So the mod chips won't work anymore.

 



Tease.

Unhackable means less hardware sales.
All the 360 owners I know bought it because it was hackable.

SW sales are more important than HW sales.

They are both important, they rely very much on each other.

Lots of hardware sales => Lots of software produced => More hardware sales => More software sales, and so on.

Who knows where the 360 would be if it has been unhackable from the start? Probably doing just as well anyway, but who knows...

Okay as some of you know from reading my posts I have now a 60 gig xbox 360 and a 20 gig launch unit. I ordered the killowatt device posted earlier to tell the power draw they both have. I also ordered a temp gun but its not in yet.

 

No one noticed this?

The PS3 in no way, shape or form draws 380 Watts.
It has a powersupply rated at 380 Watts. There is a massive difference between max draw and actual draw. Same with PC's, they might have a 500+Watt powersupply - but they never draw that much.

Actual figures for the 40GB PS3 can be found here:
http://kernelslacker.livejournal.com/124350.html

The short version: Idle = 132 Watts, in game is up to 175Watts.

(Figures for the 60GB PS3 can be found here: http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/review-356-2.htm )

No evidence about the "No RRoD claim"

At least, we can "guess" it is now strongly reduced, back to a more acceptable level ...
