A warez group got their hands on the unprotected Xbox 360 demo disk and claim that it will selfboot on the console. The reason this is significant is because it's possible it could lead to someone coming up with a bootdisk that would allow gamers to play copied games and go hack crazy on their console without having to screw around with mod chips.

From the NFO:

YES YOU CAN BURN THIS ISO AND PLAY IT IN YOUR XBOX-360 Microsoft left us with this blanket statement: "Xbox 360 retail kiosks have started arriving at retailers. Due to the nature of the distribution process, not all kiosks are hitting simultaneously, but are continuing to pop up in retailers across the country in the coming weeks.

The kiosks are designed for a retail environment and feature game samples, game trailers and product information."

Team Pi leaves you with this Pillow statement: "It seems Microsoft was in such a hurry to get this stuff out that they forgot to set the media protection on this disc. This leaves hackers with the possibility to hack around with this disc that load from a normal DVDR5 backup! - Team Pi also notes that the all datafiles on this disc isn't signed in any way, and will allow for extensive modification for producing exploits to further our efford to hack this box!"

Playable (hackable) games [demos] on this disc: Call of Duty 2, Hexic, Kameo, King Kong.

Also includes lots of game and accessory demos in video format. Nothing ripped, just foreign videos were downsampled to fit onto a normal DVDR5!"
