well softmod does work(the update via usb) .... but only till microsoft includes a new wave update in their next game ... then its LTplus which u guys will have to get .... and when you softmod ... you cant go on live because it will ask for update from 12416 to 12611 ...and if u update ...softmod is gone .... LTplus users arent affected by that ... and as for people waiting for a patch to make malaysians work .. dont hang onto it .. because malaysians will be made without ap2.5 replay sector (unless a method is released and adopted by factories that helps rip the ap2.5 sector off originals) and therefore they wont run no matter what firmware you are on
