Xecuter X360 USB - Authorized Stockist Information

Xecuter X360 USB - Authorized Stockist Information
Published by: forahobby on Sunday, August 27, 2006
Tagged: Homebrew, Xbox 360,

TeamXecuter have noticed a few sites have started to take pre-orders for the X360 USB - this is not authorized and they do not have any stock so please dont make an order if the product is not in stock.

The only places currently that will take first delivery of stock is http://www.divineo.com and customers that they supply for the US & Europe & http://www.mrmodchips.com for the UK market - the date of this will be in the next 2 weeks and the price will vary from $44.95 - $49.95 (depending on location of the store due to shipping/taxes). We can also confirm again that the kit exclusively includes the 360 Connectivity Kit v2 - this will not be on sale seperatley.

Once supply has shipped you will be informed - but for now no store has any stock. Also all stores that are authorized resellers of the new line of X360 products will be listed soon on http://www.team-xecuter.com/x360usb/.

Xbox Reservoir Dogs Recalled from UK Stores

Xbox Reservoir Dogs Recalled from UK Stores
Published by: forahobby on Sunday, August 27, 2006
Tagged: Homebrew, Xbox 360,

A visit to the local Gamestation this afternoon turned up a bit of trouble for Eidos Interactive's ultra-violent Reservoir Dogs game. We like the staff at the aforementioned shop; they’re always helpful, they know their stuff. Dagnabbit, some of them we'd even refer to as our friends. But had we been in the mood to suggest an exchange of monies for said game, we'd have been disappointed.

It turns out that the Xbox version of the game has been recalled. A quick call to one of the other local game shops turned up a similar response; the Xbox version is not available. Thankfully the staff at Gamestation made it completely clear why the Xbox game is not on sale; somebody somewhere forgot to put the BBFC 18 age rating logo on the disk. The packaging carries the rating logo, but without the logo on the disc the game cannot legally be sold by UK retailers. Our man was told that the PS2 version was perfectly legal, and has been available since this morning.

O.P.A.: Warning - Don't Use the 'birdy' Flasher on a Non-v46

O.P.A.: Warning - Don't Use the 'birdy' Flasher on a Non-v46
Published by: patto on Saturday, August 26, 2006
Tagged: Homebrew, Xbox 360,

Been so busy working on Media Stealth, I was not watching other people's work, as my packages are good enough for me.
But I also run a repair business on the side, and after getting a ton of Hitachi's in the mail, all due to flashing with the "Birdy" flashing program, as people were in a rush to get the new Media Detect and were getting trigger-happy waiting for my next release.
I decided to look into the problem with the "Birdy Flasher" and "Bricked" drives.

Here is the problem:
In the script file there is labels to point to the various sections of flashing code. Remember each firmware build has different offsets and ram address for the hacks.
The Birdy script works great for v46 drives (as that is his model on his x360 system). But users with v59 and other drives were reporting "bricked" drives.

Microsoft's Tokyo Xbox Lounge became Parking Lot

Microsoft's Tokyo Xbox Lounge became Parking Lot
Published by: patto on Saturday, August 26, 2006
Tagged: Homebrew, Xbox 360,

After perusing our giant PSP dismantling post yesterday, reader Steve dropped word on the current condition of the Xbox Lounge in Tokyo's Aoyama. During the 360 launch in Japan, a giant green-cake dispensing hub was erected. During the World Cup, it was converted into a soccer cafe. And today? It's a parking lot. Writes Steve:

MS Denies EA Employee Claim of High Failure Rates Among X360s

MS Denies EA Employee Claim of High Failure Rates Among X360s
Published by: patto on Saturday, August 26, 2006
Tagged: Homebrew, Xbox 360,

Yesterday we were tipped off by an employee of a major publisher who claimed that the Xbox 360 failure rate—at least within his studio—has been much higher than Microsoft has stated failure rates to be (around 3-5%). The employee suggested that the failure rates were actually as high as 30-50% among the 300 or so consoles they received. He also noted that Capcom's Dead Rising seemed to be making the problem worse, with many of the consoles getting much hotter than usual.

Although our source wished to keep his company name out of it, the bigwigs at Microsoft apparently sniffed it out as an Electronic Arts employee. Responding to this employee's letter, a Microsoft representative told GameDaily BIZ, "We can confirm that the letter was neither endorsed nor approved by Electronic Arts. At this point we have no reason to believe that the claims made in the letter are based on factual data as opposed to being just an individual opinion."
