I'm all for mods that don't ruin matchmaking. Good to hear that progress is being made to unlock the One!

Pro Racer4423d ago

All the disagrees clearly don't remember or haven't experienced the good old days of Xbox modding. Shame.

By 'modding' you mean insane CoD stats, players playing in God mode and jumping to high heavens, and achievement/Trophy inflation? Not to mention piracy, and it's not a slippery slope hypothetical arguments; it's how it's always been.

If they want to hack a console without the above mentioned they can wait and get Steam box. They're even openly allowing hacking in their FAQs.

But you know, modding consoles for anything except piracy is as common as my winning an Oscar.

Pro Racer4422d ago

Watch my linked videos - that's what I mean by modding. Like I said, I do not support cheating and matchmaking mods.

Wasn't MS going to make every console a dev kit? Wont something like this - if true - kill that idea?

stuna14423d ago

This is not good! If anything it would give Microsoft the firepower they needed as to why DRM was a good solution, and possibly give the incentive to go back to their original vision! Not only that game sales would go into the proverbial toilet.

MasterCornholio4423d ago (Edited 4423d ago )

@Stuna1

This is going to sound crazy and I dont believe it will happen.

But what if Microsoft left a hole in the system on purpose? That way when people pirate games on the Xbox One Microsoft will have a valid reason to bring back their old DRM policies.

I personally don't believe that they will do this because they would be fooling their consumers into buying a console because they believe it doesn't have DRM. Which is so evil that I refuse to believe that any corporation would do something like this.

iamnsuperman4423d ago

That is dumb. That would be a loose loose situation for Microsoft. They would loose out from pirated games and they would loose out from people hating their DRM strategy.

If, huge if, they were going to do this it would make more sense just to lie about how many games got pirated. It is a lot hardier to prove they were lying and there is no loose loose situation.

Though I think the idea of Microsoft bringing back the DRM policies as just absurd. They had the opportunity to get DRM to work on a console but their method now means there will never bee DRM on consoles in that form (obviously digital downloads have DRM) in the near future. Too much public backlash

MasterCornholio4423d ago (Edited 4423d ago )

I dont think Microsoft will ever go back to their DRM policies because that would infuriate consumers and destroy the Xbox brand.

@MasterCornholio
I see where you're coming from with the conspiracy but do you really think the brains behind the xbone could be that clever? Given the total balls-ups they have made from first announcing the console.

MegaRay4423d ago

Xbtwo and ps5 will NOT be like PCs (easy to dev for) *sigh*

I hope someone puts a virus inside the data of one of the bootlegs so that it melts the coding inside of your Switch, making it literally unusable.
It would serve you right for stealing games.

Kaiou3018d ago

Wow that was too fast , Nintendo must be shitting themselves, literally.

Neonridr3017d ago

doubt it. The 3DS was hacked pretty easily too. Didn't stop them from continuing to be successful.

Kaiou3017d ago

The 3DS took much longer to get hacked , also it killed and deleted the PSP at least in the west.

stefd753018d ago

Shame I'm on lastest firmware :(

wonderfulmonkeyman3018d ago

Nintendo put out a bounty on exploits a while back, and to my knowledge that's still in effect.
If someone makes a homebrew for the latest firmware, then whoever hunts that exploit/loophole down and sends it in to Nintendo could make a tidy sum from it.

vergilxx33018d ago

And that saved 3ds from piracy.
oh wait....

Segata3018d ago

3DS asks you to update. Switch doesn't.

DarkHeroZX3018d ago

Lmao with luma 3ds updater, it always patches itself to make sure custom firmware is compatible with the latest update. Nintendo's security is just trash.

wonderfulmonkeyman3017d ago

And that matters to you, how?
Oh wait...

The point is that someone could make some quick cash while also making lives harder for bootlegging scumbags.
That's a win-win whether it completely stops piracy or not.

vergilxx33017d ago

There is no such thing as stopping piracy it will always happen no matter what

Neonridr3017d ago

didn't stop the 3DS from selling, this won't stop the Switch from selling.

hmm I remember saying the Switch should cost no more than 150 bucks because of what it really offers(dozens of average games), but with this I can say it should now cost 170 bucks at least, it adds some real value to that thing. :D

The fact that you'd agree with that, proves beyond the shadow of any previous doubt that you aren't the Nintendo fan you've always tried to claim you are.
It's worth the current price tag, and you know it.

_-EDMIX-_3042d ago

@wonder- everybody has different games they like and different reasons for why they purchase a system.

My reasons for wanting a Nintendo switch just happen to be for a game that's not even been announced yet so it makes more sense for me to just wait as opposed to purchase something that won't even be used.

Sooooo for me personally that threshold is about at $200 or slightly at less.

It might be worth full price to you and that's completely fine but to me personally I'm not willing to pay that price and I'm not entirely sure why you have a problem with that.

Uken123042d ago

@_-EDMIX-_

I can agree with you on that. But a system shouldn't be based on how much one person wants certain games. By this logic when PS4 first launched it was highly overpriced. The system launched with no games and its first real game was Bloodborne. Same goes for Xb1.

Saying Switch is only worth the price only if it has games is a fair statement. One I would agree with no matter the system. But Switch has had more high quality games release in it's first year than any other system in a long time. About 15 years.

Saying the Switch is worth $200 or less is stupid. It is a normal price for the hardware.
Shit Xb1X should be $200, it doesn't offer any games or exclusives so it should be $200 or less. See how this works?

neutralgamer19923041d ago

Let's be honest Nintendo consoles tend to be more expensive yet way under powered

and the accessories are more expensive compared to other consoles

Switch is way over priced but I know from part Nintendo will never sell consoles at loss

Trolling and flame-baiting fans of the console. Shame on you.

Old McGroin3042d ago

PS4 AND Xbox fanboys started off by encouraging the success of the Switch as a secondary console to their console of choice but as the Switches popularity has grown at record breaking speed those encouraging comments have turned in to baseless, childish and vomit inducing put downs. It only shows that they see the threat to their consoles dominance is real and how insecure they are about how it's all playing out.

ZombieKiller3042d ago

Sorry but you shouldn't have to hack something to add real value to it. It has real value as it is being a Nintendo console and having the games on it that it has. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea with hacking but that statement is not true in any way. The Nintendo switch is f-----g amazing without hacking

Smokingunz3041d ago

See all those dislikes u got for making an ignorant opinion? More than your likes. I probably enjoy the switch than your favorite console.

MadLad3041d ago

As a PC gamer, the Switch offers a lot of value in what it is, but the PS4, and even more so the Xbox One, are almost irrelevant.

NIntendo/PC master race.

I will double check if this does really work, then I am gonna buy this again, now the great value has come don't get me wrong, but playing FFVI, Pokemons, Retro Mario, DB games and couple of other legendry games is another level of enjoyment along with the new titles, I mean this should be an official release by Nintendo games by selling SNES, GC, N64, GBA and even Wii games on the store, that would hardly beats Ps Now and Xbox Game Pass which will give huge boost in sales as never. I know there is licenses issues but there is alot of firsr party game fans would really love to give it try again officially.
