Xbox 360 - a tough nut to hack

Microsoft's Xbox 360 system security is proving a real challenge for the hacking community as the most promising potential exploit is revealed as "useless to the public". An exploited loophole in the DVD drive firmware had raised interest by letting one hacker run a copied version of Project Gotham Racing 3.

However, the hack itself is too impractical, and potentially lethal for the 360, to ever be risked by the average console owner. So it looks like Microsft's "core security system" is resisting most hackers' best efforts and could updated very easily, thanks to Xbox Live, if Microsoft feels it is necessary.
