The official word on the glossy Xbox 360
>> From majornelson.com:
[QUOTE]
You may have heard last week that Microsoft is changing the outer finish of the Xbox 360 250GB consoles from a glossy black to a matte black finish, similar to the current Xbox 360 4GB model.
Some of the news outlets that covered it mentioned having a choice between matte and glossy Xbox 360s this holiday.
I wanted to set the record straight and let everyone know that that is not the case.
We are actively transitioning all our Xbox 360 S consoles to a matte finish. The consoles will start to arrive in stores over the coming weeks, so if you really love the idea of a glossy console don’t wait much longer.
Of course, we still may offer a gloss finish on Limited Edition consoles like the upcoming Gears of War 3 Console or the Star Wars Console, but if you have your eye on a glossy black console you don’t have much time left.

ABGX360 about new iXtreme v1.91 FW and AP2.6
>> From abgx360.net:

"Due to the new AP26 random challenges the safety freeze for unknown or bad AP25 data is no longer supported. Please ensure your AP25 data is correct for the dashboard version you are using."
This means that (for consoles which do AP25 checks [see the AP25 FAQ for info]):
* AP25 backups (see the list of AP25 games) that are not patched with AP25 replay data will fail the normal AP25 challenges outright. (The normal AP25 challenges from the DAE table are still being performed along with the new random "AP26" challenges.)
* AP25 backups that are patched with old/incomplete/bogus AP25 replay data will fail the normal AP25 challenges outright.
* AP25 backups that are patched with current AP25 replay data will fail the normal AP25 challenges outright when the DAE table is updated again. So far the DAE table has only been updated through system (dashboard) updates but it could possibly be updated by other means.
Any of these failures will probably flag your console for a ban in the next banwave.

Swizzy's CMD Freebooter v1.2.2
>> From the NFO/ReadMe:
[QUOTE]
* Requirements - What you need to do have in order for this to work!
- Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or later
- Your CPUKey
- A dump of your nand
* Overview - What it does
- It will create a Freeboot image with your given options, it uses ibuild and fbbuild to do this, so it doesn't really have the functions itself, it's more like a script then an actual program.
- You can set presets of various options within the program, this way if you do alot of machines that are similar you don't have to choose everything over and over, however you still need to restart the program after it completes building your nand.
- You may enable or disable logging if you like, you can choose output filename yourself or use the preset one (freeBOOT.bin)
- It'll if you want it to download the appropiate systemupdate for your version of rebooter (the downloads come from logic-sunrise)
- It'll read the file "cpukey.txt" and if it contains a cpukey this will be checked for typo's and if it passed it'll be used as your cpukey ;)
* TODO LIST
- Make sure your USB drive is not in use, and if so wait for process to finnish, if it takes to long forcibly kill it
- Add possibility to automaticly copy all files to use Flash360 to upgrade your previously hacked console ;) or xellous (move needed files to usb drive)
- Add CB/CD check to auto choose recomended mobo for you, if unable ask user!
- Add ability to check what SMC hack you currently have if doing an upgrade
