This thread is making my head hurt. ;) If you've "freed/hacked" your xbox - - - then using the xbox live service is no longer possible. This applies even with the (very neat) dashboard/mechassault hack. The guys working on it are trying to fix this problem - - - the goal would be, naturally, full-backwards-compatability. If they're dealing with a non-liberated xbox, then I'm missing the point. Unless, I guess, if this is the first microsoft OS piece of hardware someone owns. Maybe he's never seen windows decide to go right ahead and perform some crucial upgrades. . . Quien Sabes? j. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
