Gears of War has been pirated and uploaded to an Xbox 360 binaries group on Usenet. The file clocks in at around 7.2 gigs in 157 parts, and will require someone with patience, bandwidth and no sense of morals to download.

Is it real? Nobody knows. While it is hard to imagine this being legit, it definitely represents a problem to the developers. We're surprised the feed didn't get the smackdown immediately, but trying to rollout a significant next-gen title might occupy most of your free time.

360 modchips are already out , may be ppl will be abble to play it on modded consoles. can be many ways that i am not aware of as i don't own a 360 and never going to buy it in future. consoles suck and console exclusive games suck more.

Actually fully functional mod-chips are not yet available for X360. You can only flash your firmware to play backup copies of original games.

So this means the Tweaked Firmwares are already available for *enthusiasts* ??

and also if the optical media available for X360 have a different format than PC, how can those pirated files be transferred to any blank media such that X360 is able to recognize them ??
