Bad News, Good News Looks like Microsoft shut down The Neo Project's attempt at brute forcing the Xbox's private key. Oh well, it probably would have taken forever with a 2048-bit key and the slow-arse Visual Basic Neo client. In good gamer news, Nintendo today announced a new Gameboy Advance design -- the "Gameboy Advance SP." It will debut in the States and Europe in March. The price with be ~$100. The device will be thinner than the current design and (finally) backlit! 10:39:12 AM
