Xbox 360 Kiosk Demo Spurs Hackers

An anonymous reader writes "Those hackers from team PI have released the Xbox 360 experience kiosk demo disc as an ISO. They say this demo contains no media protection and therefore it will run on the Xbox 360 when burned to a DVD-R disc. The disc contains playable demo's on the disk such as Call of Duty 2, which could also be hackable, as PI speculates."

Quite an achievement...

Quite an achievement making an ISO of an unprotected DVD.

We all bow down to the superiority of the hacking skillz of said release group. I am composing some ASCII art of a very large penis in your honor that you can use in your nfo file.

Re:No DRM == license to copy freely?

Sure! Of course, IANAL.

You still have to hand it to them, they did, after all, commence dumping the discs to ISO's a lil while ago all on their lonesome. Also they had the kindness to let us all know of the slip-up, and publish the ISO for people to play with. That said, this isn't really a flame-war I'm trying to start. I don't even HAVE a penis :D

Does Microsoft fund these guys?

[Animats]

They're redistributing Microsoft marketing materials. Usually, you have to pay a PR firm to do that.

Parent deserves karma points just as a dog requires biscuits to operate. (?!??!)

Perhaps you're thinking of the gamecube. The Xbox spun the normal way (unless maybe you lived in Australia?) and didn't require any custom dvd firmware.

No penis? Well, since there are no girls that read Slashdot, there's only one other possibility... you must be one of those eunuchs I've been hearing so much about.

This is a eunuchs site after all, if you pardon the misspelling... and with the evil proprietary eunuchs systems, it's time someone started developing a free clone.. we could call it Girls Not Eunuchs or something.
