Microsoft Hiring Hacker For Next Xbox Experience?
In a job listing on Microsoft's site for a Service Engineer, the company describes their ideal candidate as someone who tends to "void the warranty on every device" they own, and make "devices do things never intended by the manufacturer."
"We are looking for a Senior Service Engineer to help define the next generation of entertainment devices and services, and to help ensure our customers have the best possible experience, even when things go wrong. Well-qualified candidates have extensive experience in running web-based services, deconstructing interaction between client and servers (via a combination of logging, network traces, and so on); have a good understanding of C# and/or PowerShell, and excellent ability to communicate verbally and on paper."
They do make references to the "next generation of entertainment," so it is probably safe to say that this is related Xbox 720 in some form.
Or, this could just be a move by Microsoft to enhance its security for the Xbox 720. Piracy and hacks have become almost too easy to do on the Xbox 360, so it's easy to think Microsoft would want to recruit some fresh knowledge in this area.

MazuryayMazur Microsoft will pay top dollar for the best hacker around which will probably make an xbox system unhackable...
There's always a better hacker out there...
well i guarantee Microsoft will find the best of the best, so highly doubt anyone will be able to bypass anything after that...
Microsoft will 'try' to find the best, I doubt the best would put in their best work though. Depends on the $.

Maybe... unless someone makes a completely different hacking machine, that actually works for a long time.. I sure hope not.

ZyphrMTVNaughtyNuts a hacker making a console = unhackable
Could backfire on Microsoft.
Microsoft wouldn't let that happen.
Says who? What if the hacker got upset and just released everything?
