people already have it, so can someone open it and put up some pics? if u cant figure it out at least tell us u tried, and what it seems like.

i just got my 360 today, and didn't see any screws so i just got the 25lb sledge and went to town.....


seriously dude just chill out.

I bet the way to hack this will be a soft mod.. We may not even need to open it up.

Buffer over-what? no that never happens with MS products.

did i really seem that overexcited, well probably cuz i am, i just cant wait to see the inside.

Give me the $300 for a core system and I will!

If I wasn't worried about screwing mine up, and if I had the money to buy two, I would. I'm interested in seeing what's inside of this thing.

same here to scard to open it when i get it

its only a week away. if i got the 360 early i wouldnt take the time to open it i would be playing it.

Well howdy-ho...


Open the thing up?

Does anyone know what people are expecting to find that we don't already know about?

Alright, so this is the first time that we will be able to actually disassemble and decompile one of these units, but seriously, I've had mine for a day, and there's no way I'm going to break this open, at least until the teams of drooling madmen we all respect as the 'top-dawg's of the modding and chipping world have a chance to break one of these open and give it a go.

Rule of thumb:

1. Anti-Piracy Check
2. Find Exploit (Watch them leave another Buff.Underrun)
3. Softmod (Mabey this would let us in, combined with an external SATA hd mod?)
4. Hardmod (of sorts.)


I personally believe that when this is cracked, and we find a way to get inside, there will be the lighting mods, of course, and hopefully we can make some sort of fan mod (these things are friggin annoying, bzzzzzzBZZZZZZbzzzzz... I thought my projector was loud!

We'll see though, all in due time...

PATIENCE.

You can always look at Smartxx 360devkit pics for a teaser

I'm surprised someone hasnt already but I plan on opening mine up the moment I get home, taking pics and then uploading the process here. If nobody wants to risk it (i know there have been discussions about an intrusion detection system) then check back in this forum on the 22nd and I will have something uploaded for everyone.

Damn cool dude, i look forward to seeing the pics.

Take some good'ns

The first thing I'm going to do when I get my 360 is open that bastard up. I've learned too much here without contributing something new.
