A police raid on the man who sold a Durango test kit on eBay was not instigated by Microsoft, the platform holder has claimed.
Aussie hacker SuperDaE was last week the subject of a police raid following his acquisition and subsequent sale of a genuine Durango (the code name for the Next Xbox) test kit. Microsoft was assumed to be the aggressor. However, the company has issued a statement denying such claims.
"Microsoft did not initiate this FBI investigation with this individual, as has been asserted in some of the articles in the media,” it said. “We take security very seriously and have no evidence of any compromise of our corporate network. We have no further comment on this matter."
The Tech Game is not so certain, however. It says that SuperDaE “was met by a Microsoft intellectual property official in recent months”. It also claims that he obtained the Durango test kit by hacking into the Xbox Developer Program website, creating a fake account and ordering the unit.
Furthermore, the search warrant – which has been verified by Australian police – names Microsoft specifically.

Stephen Totilo at Kotaku has a long article detailing the exploits of an Australian hacker who calls himself SuperDaE. He managed to break into networks at Microsoft, Sony, and Epic Games, from which he retrieved information about the PS4 and next-gen Xbox 'Durango' (which turned out to be correct), and he even secured developer hardware for Durango itself. He uncovered security holes at Epic, but notified the company rather than exploiting them. He claims to have done the same with Microsoft. He hasn't done any damage or facilitated piracy with the access he's had, but simply breaching the security of those companies was enough to get the U.S. FBI to convince Australian authorities to raid his house and confiscate his belongings. In an age where many tech-related 'sources' are just empty claims, a lot of this guy's information has checked out. The article describes both SuperDaE's activities and a journalist's efforts to verify his claims.

It seems that in recent tests, Microsoft is able to detect some users XKEY. concerns Menu Iso It's XKEY, when you open the tray to load the iso Microsoft is able to compare the hash names given to you. "ISO" and photos to a database P2P, Usenet, etc ... When in doubt, the wisest precautions that we can give you is to disable your menu iso. MenuIso To deactivate your , edit your file and go line xkey.cfg MENUISO MENUISO = Y = N. At the onset of XKEY, the team was informed that the dashboard Microsoft was able to pull up all information (doubt, error, crash, etc. ..) via the Xbox Live network, so only the remote control independent of the Xbox could make XKEY 100% safe on Live. They are independent developers to the team XKEY who proposed the Menu Iso as well as the DVD Menu to meet user demand that compared methods of loading the Wasabi XKEY. A Team XKEY time by publishing the first firmware incorporating the work of developers authorizing MenuIso had announced "Take for it works. " DVD Menu meanwhile, works differently iso menu, as you exit the interface to enter the mode DVD-Video and a priori no comparison between securities + photos with the database is not possible. There remain the two official methods XKEY for loading games (Remote and Wireless Dongle) are the safest and completely undetectable because beyond the console. Which means that the Wasabi using only the iso menu Xbox Live is vulnerable. The funniest part of the story is that it seems that this discovery comes from Microsoft tmbinc the person behind the Jtag Hack and since this discovery was a model employee at Microsoft "radius" Xbox360 .

XBMC4XBOX by exobuzz & Arnova, is a SVN compile of XBox Media Center (XBMC) for the 1st generation XBOX.
Here's the full info and changelog:
Development of the 3.3 release is still ongoing, but in the meantime, here is a small update to 3.2 that includes a few fixes and improvements, including: Thumbnail scaling calculations are improved to correct the low-res issue with wide icons. Included a modern new default web interface from Sander (called XBMC Reloaded). The SVN Repo installer has been replaced with the Addons4Xbox installer, that is able to install addons designed for XBMC.
The SVN Repo installer has become little use as most of the scripts and plugins it references are no longer maintained. To fix this Temhil created an Addons4Xbox installer that allowed installation of addons from XBMC addon repositories. This doesn’t completely solve the problem though, as due to our old python version, and differences in XBMC4Xbox from XBMC many of them don’t work out of the box. To remedy this, we have our own repository that contains fixed up versions of many of the most popular addons. You can see details of which have been changed and the current working status at http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/addons/.
The Addons4Xbox installer still has some issues, and could be improved, but it’s works well as a temporary solution.

 There may be a few clouds hanging over your Xbox Live experience today. Microsoft reports that users are experiencing troubles accessing cloud saves and other remotely stored information on Windows 7 and Xbox 360. We've also received reports of trouble with the Halo 4 servers.
The (crackpot) theory going around the Joystiq think tank is that Sony's testing PS4 cloud services and taking up all the bandwidth in the imaginary "cloud." Xbox Live isn't working right, because Kaz Hirai is streaming some Cool Boarders 2 to QA.

EA Sports recently announced a number of updates for Country Clubs in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14. Not only will clubs see the 25-player limit raised to 100, but club members now earn a coin payout called the "Country Club Loyalty Bonus" for playing consecutive days in a row.
Stats populated from club games will now be weaved into the whole game, so players enjoying a standard game online will be updated on their club's progress between holes. Other added features include a pervasive club chat option, for players that wish to talk with their club friends regardless of where they are in the game, and club versus club leaderboards for Connected Tournaments. Tiger Woods 14 will launch March 26 on PS3 and Xbox 360, and will be available March 22 for Season Ticket holders.

Growing number of developers suggest unveiling post-GDC
Microsoft will reveal the next Xbox at a special press event in early April, according to a report.
Speaking to CVG, a “growing number of developers and other industry professionals” such as Sony staff said that Microsoft would unveil its next-gen plans in early April.
A senior Sony official also remarked that the console giant had “caught Microsoft off-guard” with its reveal, and that it had “ruffled some feathers”.
An April reveal for the next Xbox could be seen as a surprise given that Sony has already fired the first shot in the next-gen race and revealed the PS4, with GDC also taking place during the interim in March.
Microsoft has yet to officially announce when it will unveil its next-gen console, refusing to recognised it has even been working on a new Xbox.

Whether or not you're an owner of Microsoft's Xbox 360, chances are you find the Kinect accessory intriguing, since you don't even need the company's console to use it. That's why there's so much excitement surrounding the console's successor, codenamed Durango: it will feature Kinect 2.0, the specifications for which allegedly leaked today. The new device will reportedly be able to track players with a height of one meter, feature a mode for both seated and standing players, detect hand states (such as open or closed), as well as extra and rotated joints. As for improved features, it will be able to supposedly track six rather than two active players, occluded joints, and sideways poses. This will all be possible thanks to an increased field of vision, 1920×1080 color stream, 512×424 depth stream, an added infrared stream, USB 3.0, and 60ms latency.

Battlefield 4 is already being shown off to partners of publisher EA.
We know this because GameStop CEP Paul Raines said the following yesterday via his chain’s Twitter account:
“Got to see Battlefield 4 today and all I can say is WOW! Thanks @EA for the sneak peek. Can’t wait for you all to see it. #BF4”
VG247 notes that the message was retweeted by EA’s own official account.
THAT’S BECAUSE IT WILL BE SHOWN OFF AT THE PS4 REVEAL TONIGHT, RIGHT?
Sorry. We’re having trouble getting the PS4 reveal out of our minds. Did we mention that it’s happening tonight?

The game is set for release this autumn, reports ESPN.WWE’s executive vice president of consumer products Casey Collins said of the deal: “With Yukes, we have a lot of history, and we’ve been very happy with what Yukes has done in the past,” said Collins. “What we’re going to do moving forward is meld Yukes with the team at Visual Concepts, so we can have the best of both worlds. Having Yukes’ experience and then getting the Visual Concepts guys on board with them, we think this is going to be a dynamic duo.”“Now that we have the deal done, we have a lot of internal meetings with Take-Two, Yukes and Visual Concepts,” added Collins. “Everyone is going to come to the table and talk about how we can really ratchet this game up for this year.”

Increased field of view and higher depth range to allow up to six users playing at once, claims report
The specs for the new Kinect on Microsoft's next Xbox have been leaked, according to a report.
VGleaks has claimed that Kinect 2 will feature higher depth accuracy and an increased field of view to allow play in larger spaces and differing room sizes.
The motion sensing peripheral now possesses a 70-degree horizontal and 60-degree vertical field of view, compared to 57.6 and 43.5 on the current iteration.
Kinect 2 can also see at a depth range of 0.8m to 4m, similar to the original hardware.
This increased vision backs up previous reports that suggested up to six players could now use Kinect at once.

Bungie’s first post-Halo project, Destiny, will not be released in 2013.
That’s according to publisher Activision, which issued the clarification after 48 hours of very successful marketing activity was instigated across media outlets online.
"Activision reiterated that although Bungie's amazing new world was revealed today, Activision has not included the launch in its 2013 outlook and there should be no speculation or expectation of a different result,” a press release read.
The immediate question that presents itself is what this might mean for a current-gen release.
Destiny is currently scheduled for a release on Xbox 360, PS3 and “future console platforms”. But with the PS4 and Xbox 720 likely to both be on the market before the end of the year, will the appetite remain for our current machines into the New Year?
