  • Gears Of War 3 Leaked Early By Pirates, Playable On Hacked Xbox 360

    It seems like Gears of War 3 was leaked about 2 months prior to its official release date. This leak doesn’t seem to be of the final version, instead it looks like to be some sort of incomplete version since the Multiplayer mode is still unfinished. It is only playable on a specially hacked Xbox 360 called “JTAG” or Devkits(Which we know aren’t available to common folks)

    Moments after this leak, videos are popping up everywhere over the internet of the game’s main story and campaign mode and right now the internet is filled with spoilers regarding this game. While any “JTAG” Xbox 360 owner can enjoy this release, the normal Xbox 360 users still have to wait approx 2 months to get their hands on the final build of the game.

    This version seems to lack some certain texture and animation but it is not really the Beta build. Their are bound to be a lot of bugs and glitches since it isn’t properly tested yet. Right now, this version is floating everywhere around the internet(Don’t ask us where, we don’t support piracy). There is no update yet from EPIC games regarding this leak. Earlier rumors suggest that this leak might be of a early version of the game. Just like Crysis 2 Beta was leaked early which had the whole single player mode playable, Gears of War 3 suffered the similar fate.

    We will keep you updated once an official announcement is made from EPIC games. Stay tuned to us to find out more about this news.

  • Mandatory Xbox 360 System Update Will Be Released Today

    Major Nelson has tweeted this news yesterday which talked about a new live update for the Xbox 360. Microsoft released the last major update in May which was a huge step to combat piracy as it disabled the ability to play pirates games on flashed consoles.

    There is nothing new added in this update. According to Major Nelson “This update is preparation for additional system enhancements coming to Xbox 360 later this year.” This could mean that it is in preparation for the upcoming fall 2011 dashboard update.

    We don’t know if this update will repeat the same thing as done by previous update and reflash the console to strip away pirating capabilities. Since after the spring 2011 dashboard update hit live in May, Pirates were successfully able to counter it by releasing a new firmware which allowed a console to retain its ability to play pirated games. People could easily flash their consoles with this firmware and could even go on Live without any fear of ban as this firmware worked stealthy.

    If this update is as a counter measure for this new firmware then Microsoft is finally acknowledging the importance of piracy. This update will be released today on July 19th so better get ready for it.

    Update: It seems like this update has introduced new AP checks on certain games which includes Call of Duty: Black Ops as well. This means that pirates won’t be able to play the games which were given additional security in this update.

    Update 2: It seems to have different results on different drive. The most recent DVD drives which are Lite-On cannot play all the old AP 2.5 games due to new checks. The list of games that are not working due to new AP checks are:

    • Black Ops
    • AC Brotherhood
    • Halo Reach
    • Need for Speed Hot Pursuit
    • Fable 3
