HELL YEAH, I'LL GEY TO ENJOY THE GAMES MY NEIGHBOUR ENJOYED WHAT'S THIS HALO THING ABOUT

Reminds me of early 3DS hacking and CFWs. Don't worry, we'll get there eventually. The fact it can do this at all is a major step.
MVG says not likely since the bootloader would need an exploit as well... Which currently doesn't have a soft mod related exploit

If it's been rooted, why can't it just go all the way? There has to be a layer where the read-only hardware has to talk to critical read-write files.

Anything can be hacked if you have physical access to it
Yeah, I was gonna say: Oh, like most laptops then? If the hard drive is not encrypted, you can just boot a different OS to access what's on the hard drive...

This is "hacked" in the console modding parlance. It's not about gaining access to someone else's Xbox to do something nefarious, it's about running software that Microsoft doesn't want you to run on your xbox, including pirated games. "Jailbreak" is a synonym for "hack" or "softmod" in this scene.

Now you reminded me of the 3ds homebrew scene. It was so fun. Its amazing how active it was as well. But now its at the point where you can homebrew one by scanning a qr code, no need to buy a specific game or special cartridge.
Yeah, hacking a 3DS is incredibly easy and painless today. Back when I first hacked my 3DS I had to do it through the browser, after inserting a bunch of code on an SD card, and it only had a 50/50 chance of actually working, with the risk of bricking the thing.

I'm actually aware of the difference, but would also argue that this difference isn't that big. If you have to bypass security mechanisms to be able to use hardware as you please, that doesn't sound to me like you actually own it.

I mean yeah. Game consoles are DRM-riddled computers shackled into being toys. Being able to crack one open and turn it into something that can be used in non-manufacturer-approved ways is a cool scene in its own right.
