		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t think the bios version really effects the usefulness of this hack. What&#039;s that saying? necessity is the mother of invention, or something along those lines. If only older bioses can run the hack then it will cause the hackers to start devising ways to downgrade your bios, or hack the newer bioses, or better yet find alternate methods that aren&#039;t bios specific. Heck it could be like  the Xbox 1 where we&#039;d have split bioses or chips that can store multiple bioses, need to run your game discs and play on Xbox Live, load the latest bios, want to run some homebrew, reboot in an older hacked bios.

If anything this works to the scene&#039;s benefit because if we&#039;re running older bioses then we can&#039;t use Xbox Live at the same time, and that means any measures taken by MS or other groups to thwart the hack will lose quite a bit of clout, not to mention they wont worry about them as much as other hacks like the firmware hack because the only threat homebrew poses is letting piracy sneak in through the same open door. Remove that threat and you remove their desire to quash the homebrew scene.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is too bad that the security hole is based on a two older versions of the BIOS and anyone that has upgraded will not be able to take advantage of this exploit. The popularity of xbox live is partly to blame here, many people automatically update their consoles. In addition new consoles will eventually ship with the newer firmware already preinstalled, this really limits the number of people that can take advantage of this exploit.]]></description>
