Xbox 360 Hack-Proof DVD Drive

October 5th 2006 | Games Consoles

For some time now naughty owners of the Xbox 360 have been able to flash the system’s DVD-drive firmware with manipulated code that allowed the successful loading of copied 360 games.

Now hackers and system owners are reporting of a new drive, sourced from Hitachi with the model number GDR-3120L and v0078FK version tag, that makes it much harder for the console to be hacked.

Originally, it seems these drives were appearing in Australasian territories, but others have spotted the same drive model and version in the UK - so expect them worldwide very soon.
