Microsoft is fixing a mod-chip vulnerability in the DVD firmware on the XBOX 360, making it nearly impossible for a mod-chip to be installed. I can just see the ad campaign now, "Epoxy for firmware chips, it is hacker-deterrent in a tube. Buy some today." Apparently, Microsoft just glued the edges of the chip under a layer of epoxy, that makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible to mod-chip the DVD firmware in the XBOX 360. While I am amazed at how non-complicated and innovative this idea is, and how seemingly effective it will be, I have to say that I doubt the modding is over. With such a hot product, this will only make more "hackers" more determined to crack it again. So you could say Microsoft 1, hackers 1, and we have more periods left to play folks. Bill, back to you.Microsoft glues hackers
