I'd like to learn more about this xbox homebrew stuff. Does it support the ability to burn homebrews to a CD and boot without box moddification? (Don't think I just didn't read what you said about arce buying a modded xbox, maybe the moddification was only needed to work with the BBA. I don't know so that's why I'm asking.)

Hell no. Xbox homebrew is highly illegal and is nothing compared to the DC Scene. Nobody is gonna play your stuff unless they have modded Xboxes as well. I'm not sure about it even booting CDRs. Well, it probably would, but it is based on DVD media after all...

Xbox devving would be pointless. Only, what, about 3 or 4 people on the forum actually have one?

And then who has one modded?
And then who is interested in homebrew for it?
Not enough target audience to be worth the effort imo...
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.

People on the forum is irrlevent, imo. Half of the people that surf these boards aren't even smart enough to post even once in the "development" forums.

Yeah, I will too, and I will be interested in it.

I can't mention that there will be an Xbox port (if there will be) during the judging... Xbox homebrew is illegal and I don't want any shadiness in this project...
