Still seems like a lot more steps between that and a hacked console. Though I'm not a hacker so maybe this could open them up to hacks. Oh well, they'll probably find a way to fix this without getting rid of the "every console is a dev kit" initiative.

What if they can't patch it out and this is the ass-storm?

Too highbrow. I'm just going to randomly punch one of my friends in the groin.
Everything is always the ass-storm. We've been drowning in asses for weeks now.

And take their wallet
What a prick
you kind of expected that would be by maybe enabling certain xbox live accounts with dev rights or something - not by entering a cheat code and boom.

Yeah, that is a REALY sloppy way of handling it.
iOS is all handled through the developer portal, you register your devices there and get apps provisioned to run on approved devices.
Insane this is the way MS is doing it.
What are you going to do with used sock?

*wink wink nudge nudge*
Having access to the dev menu doesn't do shit... you still have to check the "Enable Devkit" checkbox and that's when the console checks the server and then rejects you cause you don't have the proper license.
I love the first response

Way to not understand what's going on at all Mr. Herrera.

Well, the kind of folks that would fall for a ruse like that may not be watching this thread so I wanted to be clear.

Major Nelson quoted me, i have no words...
I will buy an Xbone for sure even though it hasn't been launched in Chile yet!

What a world we live in when we have to pay to unlock stuff and cheat codes brick your console.

Just don't put it back on his foot afterwards. That's just too low.
I also heard that putting the controller in the microwave for 20 seconds will reduce lag. Can you confirm or deny this? I really need this answered.
EDIT:
I went a head and tried it anyway. It worked! I feel sorry for the people that don't know this amazing secret.
Oh, up the butt stuff. Hey, to each their own!

Does it kill a part of your soul to have to actually tell people this is a bad idea?

Yeah, its pretty shocking that such a simple combination gives access to the developer mode on retail units.
I really hope they plan to patch that out or at least make it a much more complicated process.
It works better if you cover it with a wet towel first. THAT'S the real secret.
But I didn't get the update that made it waterproof yet!

I don't think anyone that falls for this will be truly missed. But Glad to see you getting the word out Major.

Will MS help anyone who was silly enough to do this? I mean is there any steps to fix this besides sending your console off to MS?
You could probably just drop the last 3 words.
