Following last weeks update on Bungie,
 
 
It seems they've allowed 343 to produce the next mappack known as the Defiant Mappack. This allows them to "test drive" the engine and what not before they really flesh out their next Halo game.
 
Much like Bungie released "Vidoc's" of their products. 343 has done the same. Take a look at the new team of Halo.

Now, I don't know who started what or who decided to release this exploit to the public, but I saw it first on Dark Slipstream's post on TTG. (I thought Dark retired, but guess not )
 
Proof of concepts of the exploit are available here (page_1 , and page_2 ) If you missed the exploit. What scares me about this is how fast information travels in the gaming communities.

Alexander "graf_chokolo" Egorenkov has his home raided by German police this past week, after Sony demanded the seizure of his PS3 hacking equipment. It has been subsequently revealed that Sony plans to sue Egorenkov for 1,000,000 euros ... and Egorenkov doesn't care.
 
"The SONY’s laywer asked me why I’m doing what I’m doing, because of my hatred for SONY?" writes the hacker. "He cannot understand why I’m doing it, because he is paid for what he does. I’m not. I don’t hold a grudge against SONY even now Hatred clouds your mind, keeps you from more important things. I have a better use for my mind and knowledge.
 
"So, SONY you failed again, you took my equipment but my mind is still free and you cannot (sic) control it. You failed again. They are just tools, I can get new ones and will continue my HV reversing and bringing back PS3 Linux which you took from us. If you want me to stop then you should just kill me because I cannot live without programming, HV and Linux kernel hacking You know who am I and where I live, so come and get me!!!"
 
In spite of police raids and legal threats, he has continued to post his PS3 reverse-engineering research and other juicy information. Say what you will about Alexander Egorenkov ... he has some significantly sizable testicles.

Sony war rages on

By iBotPeaches, in Gaming News,

Little do individuals know is that this case will set a precedence for all future modding on every console. This case is coming down to weather you really own that console you purchased. Companies like Sony are just abusing it. I'm not asking you to boycott Sony or do anything extreme. I'm asking you to read up on this case and learn what is going on, to formulate your own opinions.

2) Here is a link to Operation Boycott Sony : http://i53.tinypic.com/bgsaih.jpg
 
3) The point of this message. You (the consumer) have rights. Don't let corporations like Sony step on them.

The device codenamed Next Generation Portable was announced by Sony today. It is said to include dual analogue sticks, 5 inch OLED capacitive Touchscreen, 3G, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support. Our friendly neighborhood cash cowGameStop had accidentally listed the device as $999, when no official pricing has even been announced. The device has since been removed from their website. Although the price of $999 is not likely, Sony has expressed that they think consumers would be willing to pay more money for a good device, citing the Kinect as a source. Sony has also stated the NGP will be priced more expensive than the Nintendo 3DS.In other news, Sony Ericsson will be releasing a full-fledged gaming smartphone called the Xperia Play, as well. The Xperia Play is an Android smartphone expected to run Android 2.3 (Gingerbread).
