RE: Microsoft's Xbox 360 RRoD 'stress test' disc leaked
As always.. MaxSlut stealing news off other webpages.

This is not a burn-in test it's a simple system stress test.
Basicly this disc will stress the xbox AFTER they fix the RRoD.
This insures that it doesn't fail after a few hours gaming when the user gets it back.

The copy of this disc is basicly useless. It needs a special patch/file replacements
to get it to work on iXtreme firmwares. The original disc won't work on patched drives either
so this is needed. (also known for 1 other game with the same prob)

Quote:its runs 1 level of PGR race all NSX cars going very fast, infact it makes the system lag seems to push it beyond its capabilites.

most of the time the test hangs the machine ive tried it on 3 seperate systems
the only one it did 4 laps on was a system connected to a lan cable must be doing some sort of network test.

Wee also know now that this network test phones home to Microsoft. Sending IP, logs, data dumps ect used for quality control and so on.

Quote:In any case, for some real information that isn't just surmised from the disc's title, this particular Ping disc contains a special build of PGR,
similar to that which appears on the XStress retail media disc. This one, however, uploads minidumps to an internal Microsoft ticket tracking system,
which not only records service and diagnostic information, but also obviously timestamp and IP address. As such, anyone that may come across such a disc would be well advised to disable internet connectivity to the 360 prior to launching the disc.

I would suggest not playing with this. It can fry your xbox and/or get your mac address/account eXx1l3d from ms live.
Definitly a USE-AT-OWN-RISK! disc ;)
