USB Loader v.01
>> Yelrac released a new program for homebrew (freeBOOT/XBReboot) Xbox 360s:
[QUOTE]
This tool will let you run a .XEX in the root of an USB device without having to launch XeXLoader first.
For example, with it you can launch an alternative dash like the one based on the OXM Disc directly.
To use it, you must rename the default.xex to usb.xex in the root of USB device. Renaming the default.xex avoids having to disconnect the USB device when you restart the Xbox since there is no more default.xex in the root.
There are 2 ways to install the USB Loader:
1) Burn the ISO image on a CD. Launch it from your Xbox360 and USB Loader will be install automatically.
2) If you already have XeXLoader, copy the 00000001 directory in the genuine HDD to Content/0000000000000000/
Once the installation is done, USB Loader will be displayed in your Games Library.

NAND Compare and Reconstruction Tool v1.2
>> Rab released a nice tool to check/verify your Xbox 360 NAND dumps and potentially even repair them if you have at least 3 'bad' dumps:
[QUOTE]
the tool has two functions:
- compare 2 nand images
better than simply using md5 as it tells you which blocks are mismatched, which allows you to reread only those that are in error rather than the entire chip (speeding up the process)
one use of this is when verifying a write by reading back the nand and comparing it against the original you wrote, if you get a bad block just reread that individual block, patch it into the full read and compare again (files are reread each time you click compare, no need to reselect the same files in the gui)
- reconstruct image from 3 bad reads
assumes that read errors don't occur in same place each time, which is true for some read errors (e.g. lpt timing problems), if there is a good reason why you can't read something then this may not be true
this tool cannot recreate a nand out of nothing, if you give it 3 files full of zeros you'll get a recreated nand full of zeros, always look at a dump to make sure it looks correct (e.g. has a microsoft copyright at the top, once you've reconstructed a nand open it in 360 flash tool and make sure it reads ok there)
the tool works by comparing blocks between the 3 files, any block found matching in 2 (or 3) of the files will be considered good, you will be warned if not all blocks can be recovered, in which case you'll need to get more reads or look for a good reason why your reads are so bad
1.2 (2009/12/15)
- support for 256mb nand
- use correct block size for 256/512mb nand (0x20000 + ecc)
- added progress bar
1.1 (2009/12/13)
- support for 512mb nand (assumes same block size as 16mb)
1.0 (2009/12/12)
- first release

Pachter on 2010: No Next-gen Announcements
>> From kokugamer.com:
[QUOTE]
'We think that it is likely that sales will begin to grow in February, hit high single digits in March, and hit double-digit growth from April through October.'
'Once sales begin to grow sustainably, chatter of an end to the current console cycle will likely be stifled, and we expect investors to again grow interested in the video game publisher stocks.'
