Re: 360 with a dead laser

I may be wrong but I thought all the 360's were reset glitch hackable now? yip all except the ones on the latest two kernels beyond 15xxx. the non hdmi xennon console is hackable but it can take hours to get it to glitch. the corona 4 gig unit is non hackable for the mean time but it is in the works.
