Microsoft Considers Unlocking Xbox 360 Once Support Ends

4.6
Microsoft could consider the idea of unlocking Xbox 360 once its lifecycle and developers support officially ends, according to Xbox Head Phil Spencer. The news comes as Spencer himself answered a question by a fan, hinting this could be a proper option for the future of the platform.

Even though Spencer didn't offer an "official answer", he said Microsoft will have to think about it in the future "to state our plan", as you can see in the tweet below.

Unlocking Xbox 360 would allow people to turn their consoles in emulators and put them into custom cabinets, for example, but this is just one example from the many things you could do with an unlocked system.

That's cool man! You completely copied this articles shit answer, and didn't even attempt to answer his question either! Your a genius, man. Nicely done!


Bud he put quotes to highlight a specific quote. Chill, he was being helpful


Actually you are wrong, he was NOT being helpful. And F.Y.I. Telling someone to "chill" only aggravates them further. You probably already know that by now, since all you do is annoy people on the Internet all day.

It would be awesome if one day they unlocked it.

I don't see Microsoft actually going through with that unless they made the unlocking process prevent you from ever going on Xbox Live again with that system. Be interesting to see though.

I don't really care either way to be honest

This isn't really them saying they're considering it. Its kind of just him avoiding the question.
