everyone's advertising, no ones answering his question. theres a firmware hack for the dvd drive. it allows you to play backups, but not run homebrew such as xbmc. it's very easy to do, you can do it yourself, takes 15 minutes. there are tutorials all over the place. The hardest part was opening the case.
does that mean there is no softmod available presently....my biggest concern is being able to install another dashboard like XBMC.
I alreay now about the dvd hack, but like you said this is for game backups.
thanks guys...i will hold off until some homebrew surface
