Rumour warning! Rumour warning!

As reported last week, Microsoft is looking for a few good testers for some form of new disc-format for the Xbox 360. There's no official word on what that means exactly, but now Examiner is reporting that a "hacker" has spilled the beans and that the new format is XGD3 - a new DVD format which allows more disc space and new copy protection features for the console.

The "hacker" is quoted as saying that "MS will introduce xgd3 - this will add more ap checks, cvi (content integrity) checks, increase the disc size and adds a new layer for protection issues."

In case you missed the sub-header for this news piece, I will say it again: rumour warning!
