Microsoft Targeting Pirates With Xbox 360 Spring Dashboard Update
Piracy has long been a problem on Microsoft’s console, with the company taking a much more proactive approach to the issue by initiating the AP 2.5 protocol into specific games. This AP 2.5 protection alongside the new firmware could strike a death blow to piracy on the console.

This doesn't even affect flashed consoles all you do is reflash. They failed on this one.

TheSuperiorGamerMMXModding Will this affect hotswapers?!
Unless they change the dash so u cant do th hotswapping it wont make a difference i dont think!
Yes it will affect hotswappers, being as they are making it so you cannot play pirated AP2.5 games. You can still hotswap other games that are not AP2.5 protected though.
