Poll: Remember the Netpliance Linux hack.........

[Zebo]

They started to sell like hotcakes once someone hacked it to a $99 linux box (www.linux-hacker.net/iopener/)... I wonder if the XBOX will also be hacked. This would be cool to have a GF3, nforce etc for $300. Just wondering if you think it will come to pass. I will definently buy one as they are cheap (300) and look really cool if a hack comes.

As a side not I heard M$ will lose $200 per unit sold. OUCH!
