Hack or not to hack, that is the question...

I decided to buy an X360 for 2 reasons:
- Because of the exclusive games that it has ( like Halo and Gears of War )
- Because it can be hacked to run backups

As you probably know, there isn't a good and safe way to flash the PS3, yet. But there is a very easy, good and safe way to flash ( or hack ) the Xbox 360 and it's hard to resist not doing it with so many games coming out at very, very high prices and ,of course, the global crisis.

The process consists in changing the cd/dvd driver's flash key ( in my case it's a Lite-On driver ) in a way that it allows you to run game backups and not only originals.
After that's done you have to scan the games that you have before burning them into the dvd to see if they possess a stealth plugin to blind Microsoft eyes :) and there are programs that do that.
There are also another important things but we'll stop here.

I said that the process is easy, and it is, but it involves much patient and you have to be very careful not to ruin your Xbox that's why I'm not going to do it, I'll pay someone to do it ( I look like a mob talking ).

Anyway, this is not a tutorial and if you think that I'm giving away illegal information go ahead and sew me :D
Just Google it, there are lot's of posts about this.

I need to get ideas to make blog posts. Not much time to make them though.
