Sure. PM me and we can make this happen.

Together.

Okay, I'll check to make sure I still have it, and that I put it back in the original HDD enclosure (I had it in my Slim for a while)

Careful, Gohan, maybe Mech just wants your credit card number.

The report comes from an ongoing study at Drexel University. Researcher Ashley Podhradsky told Kotaku that Microsoft does a good job protecting its own proprietary information on the console, but doesn't take any steps to protect user data. As part of the study, the group purchased one used Xbox 360 console, installed some hacking tools and started to root around. Soon enough they were able to retrieve some files and folders, eventually extracting the original owner's credit card information.

I kid about Mech of course, but add this to the massive pile of reasons to not buy an Xbucket next year.

Oh noes!

Our govt purchased ps3 and 360 consoles from overseas to try to do this very thing and couldn't. Lulz.

I am really trying to find the link.

[Chux]

I read that. I think it was on Kotaku or Gizmodo.

Microsoft finally got me my original Gamertag back after six months with a ton of free months of Live and more MS points than what I had when I was hacked. Gears 3 is back on!

[YellerDog]

So, I turned on my Xbox after having it off for three months in a drawer (no tv), and I go to turn it on to play Mass Effect 3....



...and it fucking works perfectly. So that's nice.

YELLER IS BACK!

So how close were you to selling it??

Also, add my evilmog tag back to your friends list. I thought for sure you were done with Live so yours got deleted.
