Reports indicate that mod chips for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 may be available within the next few weeks. Additionally, pirated games for the 360 should be available shortly thereafter. This is certainly news Microsoft doesn’t want to hear. After all, the original Xbox was probably one of the easiest consoles to hack, giving rise to a host of emulators as well as Xbox Media Center. All of this should pan out, one way or another, by February or March. Keep your fingers crossed, Microsoft!
