Xbox 360 Hacked to run linux at 23c3

Sorry about the encoding; I wanted to get it out before the video got dugg. This is a demonstration of a hacked Xbox 360 running Linux at 23c3, Chaos Computer Club lightning talks in Germany. Some anonymous hooded guy comes along and shows it to the applauding crowd.

pretty cool, i gotta say, i congratulate the person who figured the king kong glitch out, and for people who think linux on the xbox 360 is useless, getting a computer with some pretty good specs isnt half bad, especially if you actually use linux (like me). its putting it on there that counts, and its a big accomplishment.

who cares about cheap, sure the payments on my quadcore alienware are more than my rent payments but does YOUR pc have a 3TB HDD

Why has this video turned into an argument over the validity of owning a 360? You are all diseased.

The 360 was hacked to do something it wasn't designed to do.You can't expect it to perfrom brilliantly and i'm not saying that you should buy one either.
