Is Achievement cheating the new gold farming? There are quite a few websites out there offering ways to up your Xbox Live Achievement scores through cheating (I could tell you what they are but that would be unethical), mostly dealing with the uploading and sharing of saved games.
It seems those crafty Microsoft employees have put the kibosh on that business with the newest update of the 360 dashboard. Tank over at 2old2play was able to turn up some details.
The fall Dashboard introduces a hybrid locking system which renders most of these cheating tactics useless. Only some of the 'unlocked' style game saves currently work and to guarantee they work, they need to be re-done on an updated Xbox360 and then re-uploaded to a game sharing site.
Many of the top scorers on the World leaderboards have admitted to cheating and the former World #1 Ranked player, ST The King has stepped down from his throne, although it's not clear whether he actually cheated his way there.
For a more in-depth look at Achievement Cheating check out 2old2play, a favorite site for old geezers like me.
