That Bill Gates has put a million pound offer out to anyone who can chip his ever so "lovely" Xbox????
He has deemed it unchippable

Apparently they are losing £500 for each XBox sold, but that figure may not be 100% correct.

Yeah, that's what I thought too, but I wasn't sure either.

I agree there, strongly. You could quite easily get inside without breaking the motherboard, and I'm sure that some third party company will sell replacement covers anyway, if you have to break the cover off to get inside.

Bit surely people would want to be able to use it after it had been chipped.
If you sawed it open you'd have to blu-tak it back together and it wouldn't look nice.
What's 1 million to a man who has 28 BILLION of his own money, not including assets etc. I think he can afford it.

Fish-e, I think what I said about the mainboard breaking is true, but as I haven't tried it myself, I'm not 100% on that.

That's one way of getting in, surely.

Mad??
whats 1 million to a multibillionaire

Yeah, suppose, but apparently he is still losing money, because it is costing more to produce X-Box and games than he is getting from sales, but that is improving.
My point there is, he'll be trying to get a little more money, but I agree he doesn't need it.
