Hackers have taken the first step towards breaking the anti-piracy system on Microsoft's Xbox 360 game console. A group of crackers called Team PI Coder says it has discovered the basic workings of the console's file system. The information has helped the group dig out the raw data from the console for 13 Xbox 360 games. In response Microsoft said its console had several security systems in place that would prevent pirated games being played on it.
[The] hardware on the system only allows Microsoft certified and signed programs to run on the console. This meant that copied games would not be recognised by the system and would not run.

    I think it's still easy enough to say that nothing is "unhackable". That said, it's a question of whether random person X will have the ability to do so. From the way it sounds...I'd say no at this point.

    I would say that, it really doesn't matter because someone will do it and there will be how to's posted in the next hours.
