    There is a pause right after he inserts that disc and it looks as if the monitor/TV switches signals...

    The only difference between a retail and debug is that the BIOS is different and that the Debug comes with a 60gig HDD that emulates the DVD drive, taht hooks up where the 20gig goes.

    All they need to do is BIOS flash and get a hold of that special HDD. I hope

    If you never used XBox Media Center (XBMC), you have no idea what you are missing.

    It brings the 360 Media Center to shame...

    On the piracy talk. You really can't condemn it.

    In Brazil, when most people don't have a sallary of more than 500 Reais (about 218 dollars), do you really expect them to pay 70 dollars or more for a game?

    You can say, don't have money, don't buy games, but that's just stupid. Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo don't have official support here, so if they don't give a f*** about us.
    So most people do the same to them, using piracy products.

    Follow up on the Kiosk Demo disc story:

    We pretty much know all this. I am still wondering how long it takes before they run arbitrary code. People can add datafiles to that disc. I know close to nothing about the 360 architecture, but I would suspect that a buffer overflow vulnerability in one of the file parsing applications would open doors...
