what they mean is

They don't have a clue so why not create a buzz word like : "illegally modified video game console" ??

At some point when consoles stop focusing on next gen GFX and get back to gameplay mods mean that one day we'll be able to develope software for a videogame system just like any PC developer (that don't make use of windows apis) by starting with more time and talent than cash for buying the license and devkits first.

Is it just imagination or did HLoader gain alot of attention ever since it started running online games with certain mods earlier this year?

Ya know sometimes I just feel the need to kick some one in the frickin nipple. I'm an american citizen born and raised and I hate the politics and laws of this country. I mean, come on why the hell does Divineo have to pay this money? California isn't a world court and Divineo isn't an American company. This goes along the lines of America trying to control the internet all over again. It's the U.S. trying to be world police. I think that if companys imbraced homebrew that things like HD Loader and the such might slow down. I love my homebrew. My Xbox is like a Demi-God thanks to homebrew. I can watch dvds with out that stupid dvd kit and watch all kinds of videos besides. Lets face it Sony dropped a whole lotta cash updateing its firmware to stop homebrew and it's served to only slow it down a little. I only bought a PSP and an Xbox because you could do homebrew. Which lead to well I have the system mite as well buy some games. A few hundred bucks later Sony and Xbox should be glad that homebrew caused me to buy the system.

Hey guys, I once Froze a banana, made a wicked sweet dagger out of it, then stabbed some guy in the face.

OMFG! BLANKET BANANA BAN!

SUE CHIQUITA!

Unfortunately, some people use those same hombrew capabilities to load "backups" which ruins it for the rest of us. Personally, many of the user created games are some of the best.

I also hate the way America is trying to run the world. I think only reason America can get away with some of the things that it does is because it is basically a huge, corrupt empire, corrupting other countries to march with them into the sea. Starting to sound like efficient communism.

If you hate it so much here, you can leave.

Yeah well leaving may be the only choice.Lord knows voting doesn't count,doesn't matter who you vote for in america they're all rich aristocrats.
Our government does need to keep it's hands out of other peoples business.

I don't like it here either! I don't like how we are trying to run the world.
