Hacker-engineer Andrew "Bunnie" Huang says he's already pre-sold between 400 and 500 copies of his self-published tell-all "Hacking the Xbox: an Introduction to Reverse Engineering," weeks before its scheduled May 27th publication date, despite -- or perhaps because of -- looming suspicions by some that the book skirts the edges of legality.

Yet we can swap components, upgrade, etc. Some makers try and make it hard, "securing" their car with extra bolts, locks, force-fit components, etc. Software locks too.
But for decades, it was the understanding that once it left the assembly line, people owned it and could do whatever they pleased.
The fact of the matter is, Microsoft is not approching purchasers of the XBox as owners, but as users. Microsoft still decides it owns every single Xbox on the market. That's the real issue.
