Recently finished the book in the right hand panel (yes I’ll change it to my latest read ASAP) and if you have any interest in games consoles, especially of course the Xbox, it’s worth a gander. If you have no interest in such things then it’ll be a good for your insomnia. It’s a bit of a mixed bag of comments about hacking, in the true sense of the term, security, fair use rights, the issues raised by the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act and lot’s of stuff about how to dismantle the Xbox and change things usually involving a soldering iron. If you want to change the green light to a blue one…look no further. Interested in how to glue extra bits to the motherboard this is the book you’ve been waiting for. OK, so there was about half the book I skipped over as it’s very, very geeky and in many cases breaks the Xbox as a games machine. What it won't tell you is how to copy games and generally pirate stuff, which would under the DMCA would be illegal, but a useful book if you want to know how the Xbox works.
