Round 1 ends in Microsoft the victor. Yes, apparently that latest Live Dashboard Patch today has completely disabled the Kiosk Demo from playing. This has been verified. When you insert your copy of the Kiosk Demo after the patch, this error appears:
Unrecognized Disc This disc is unreadable. 1. Clean the disc with a soft cloth. 2. Restart the console. For more help, go to www.xbox.com/support.
It seems that Microsoft is taking a proactive approach to shutting out all holes in the system, including that of the Kiosk Demo. Hackers everywhere now breathe a collective sigh of frustration. Of course, the patch is not applied unless you try to sign on to Xbox Live, and only after you accept the patch. It remains to be seen if Microsoft will incorporate the patch into new games like the PSP has done — refusing to let you play at all until you upgrade. Of course, everyone knows how that war is turning out for Sony. (In case you didn’t know: Hackers are putting up a damn good fight.)
