A look a the newest Xbox 360 software only Hypervisor Hack known as BadUpdate. It requires a Xbox 360 - any model including the later Winchester revisions - on the latest system version (17559), a USB flash drive, Rock Band Blitz Trial and some patience. This latest hack is a very exciting update for the Xbox 360 community. In today's episode we take a closer look at the BadUpdate exploit.

While this is cool, it won't be able to replace RGH fully, unless it can be more consistent and quick

Here's hoping that this will lead to some more progress on a soft mod. I've been buying up hardware and want to mod 3-4 systems for possible LAN parties in the future.

Oooh that's cool. I'm holding out hope they manage to do more work on Xenia so we can get even more games with netplay compatability
