they were en route from HongKong, stolen by (most likely) airpersonnel in a hangar in Germany.
Police have retrieved three of them using searchwarrants.

fun stuff

What exactly can they do with it? I dunno if dev kits come with games preloaded into them, but it seems to me all they'd be able to do is fiddle with the console's main menu?

run the games from harddisk, for one
no regioncodes or other restrictions, either.

sure, right now theres nothing much they can do, but once the games hit the shelves, they can be ripped, cracked & downloaded in notime thanks to reverse engineering

Playing games off the hard drive; what a waist. If your going to steal a developer kit, better make a game.

are you an idiot? the whole Modding Xbox Scene Started simply because someone got there hands on a Devolperkit and reverse engeneered it to learn how it works and what would be needed to make a standard mod have a "Developer" bios.

edit: this is the first step to getting the Xbox360 Modding scene Started... a little early, but thems german's... got to love em
