Xbox 360 hack changes DVD key, game region

A clever gent who goes by the name SeventhSon (we hope in reference to the totally ripping Iron Maiden record Seventh Son of a Seventh Son) has discovered a method to alter both the DVD key and game region code on Microsoft’s Xbox 360, at least for the Hypervisor exploitable 4532 and 4548 kernels. If you’re not sure what that all means don’t feel bad, part of this hack involves desoldering your Xbox flash chip — something most of us aren’t getting around to anytime soon. However, for the tenacious and technologically handy, this opens up all kinds of diabolical possibilities like, um… playing UK games on your US Xbox.
