It is so much fun to be able to play with homebrew again and as a thank you to the Xbox 360 Scene we have decided to launch a competition where, thanks to our very popular vendor www.modtraders.co.uk, you can win a $1000 cash prize by coming up with the name for our new 360 USB Nand Programmer / JTAG Hack product.

Not only will you have the chance to win $1000 cash but you will get to have the bragging rights to naming an Xecuter product that will have global distribution and will be used by tens of thousands of modders

The programmer is fully compatible with NandPro (Thanks to Tiros) and works on all compatible 360 motherboards including Xenon, Falcon, Zephyr, Opus & Jasper. The complete kit includes everything you need to read/write your NAND Flash and also to implement the complete JTAG hack with minimal installation time. It's a very simple install (much like the X2 / X3 Xbox mods). The image shows a very early prototype - the final version is MUCH nicer

The rules are simple. Make a post in this forum topic with your entry and the winner will be chosen by March 31st 2010 and paid via PayPal. That's it

Note: Only 1 entry per post. You can enter as many times as you like.

Thanks again to www.modtraders.co.uk - Fast Worldwide Shipping of All Xecuter products - also VERY CHEAP Dual Layer DVD Suppliers !

For anyone wanting to transfer large files over a short distance without a local area network, having to do the USB stick shuffle is a huge pain. Load, unload, delete, repeat. Sure you could buy a higher capacity stick, but they're expensive and still have limitations. Infinitec is looking to bust through the memory barrier with its new USB streaming technology.

Rather than storing a handful of gigabytes on each stick, the Infinite USB Memory device (IUM) stores zero gigabytes. Instead, it creates an ad hoc wireless network between your laptop and whatever other USB enabled device you want to connect to. You can stream movies to your PS3 or Xbox 360, send images to your once non-wireless printer, or even transfer files between computers by making your whole hard-drive available on the network. Best of all, there are no drivers to install - aside from a one-time "pairing" process that installs the awesomely titled "Infinite Portal" onto your computer - and it works with all operating systems.



Of course, the fact that it's wireless means you can only transfer files within the IUM's range, so there will still be a use for regular old flash memory sticks. There's still no word on pricing or technical specs, but we'll keep an eye out.

Adding a USB hard drive to your PS3 or Xbox 360 isn't as simple as plugging it in (and on the 360 especially, it's pretty much a hack). But Datel's new Space Docks make the process simple.

Their Space Dock, available in PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, accepts 2.5" or 3.5" SATA HDDs (up to 1TB) just like cartridges before what we can only assume is an automatic formatting and file install process that allows stock drives to be instantly compatible.

Once installed, the drive mounts in your system to backup saved games, play movies, etc, plus you can always plug the drive back into your PC to transfer more files since the formatting structure is really just FAT32.

Ah, PS4. Talk has been raging on for years now, actually many thought Sony would abandon PS3 because of what they perceived to be its many failings and rush unto the next. Well that’s not the case, but that doesn’t mean the hardware giant isn’t already thinking of its next-gen system. Surely you’ve heard of the many rumors claiming that Sony has already settled on the specs of PS4?
Well we don’t have nothing concrete yet, but speaking to PlayStation: The Official Magazine, Sony fan and freelance designer Tai Chiem, who’s drawn some awesome looking prototypes of what PS4 could look like, including some of the specs, divulged his reasons for doing so.

“[I wanted] to challenge myself to design something based on a current company while keeping their design language,” he told the mag, “but also taking it further.”

“I wanted it to look like something Sony would design.”

His prototype design is far reaching and extremely technical, so can these lofty visions be realized? Chiem thinks it’s not even a question of if, but rather when.

“Flexible touchscreen technology is currently being developed, so it’s definitely a possibility,” he continued. “I have seen companies such as Samsung developing transparent screens. While it’s costs prohibitive to have these features at the moment, I think it would be feasible in the next five to ten years.”

The pics are below and I’m sure you’ve seen them before, so what ya think?

We'd already heard that the PS3 wouldn't need anything more than a simple firmware update to make the jump to 3D, and it looks like we now have the first evidence of that very firmware update. It's obviously not ready for public consumption just yet, but a debug build of the 3.20 firmware is apparently now making the rounds among developers, and it quite clearly includes a "3D Video Output" option in the settings -- as evidenced by this image courtesy of VG247. Still no word of an exact release date for the firmware, unfortunately, although it should be out sometime this summer.

Earlier today at Mobile World Congress, Steve Ballmer announced that when Windows Phone 7 series ships later this year, it will come with Xbox LIVE support. Specifically, the Windows Phone 7 Games hub will allow you to:
•   Collect Achievements and build your Gamerscore
•   View Xbox LIVE leaderboards
•   See your Xbox LIVE Avatar
•   Access Spotlight feeds, including the latest tips and tricks, game news, updates and more
•   Add Xbox LIVE friends to your friends list while out on the go
•   Turn-based (asynchronous) multiplayer gaming
I’ll have more details of this over the next few months and I’ll get some folks on from the mobile team to come on my show to answer some of your questions.

Until then, keep an eye on this site where later today we’ll post the video of Steve Ballmer’s press announcement. Here is the official press release.
