More details concerning Microsoft's updating of their disc format will give 1 GB extra of disc space for developers to use but the added protection might not be as strong as expected.
The extra GB in space appears to be coming from the video partition of the restricted part of the disc. The extra space ends up giving developers about 15% more space to work with in their games.
Not even a day after the announcement, a hacker managed to get info on the tools and setup Microsoft will be using for the new protection. The new protection uses a lot more checks and loops but on a modified setup of the current protection system.
