heard about this at the start of the week, they can make it scan up and down, give colour levels and also depth as well! Looking forward to see if this will work with the pc

All thats happened is a guy has developed an "open source" driver. But if you look into it even he admitts there is LOTS of work to be done cleaning it up and making it functional.

Although if he releases his driver others will progress his work. Its not hacked in the sense of its oriiginal purpose as a xbox360 addon.

what makes me laugh is that microsoft is a PC related developer - you would have anticipated that they would develop and release their own variant - rather than waiting for someone to hack and do it to them

as mentioned above, its not really been hacked just a very basic and limited driver for LINUX has been written for it.
