[modfilms-general] SANCTUARY NEWSLETTER > DECEMBER 21 > 2005

[Alex Zinzi]

SEASONS GREETINGS TO EVERYONE IN THE TEAM
I'm not too religious myself, and I don't recall ever seeing Michela inside
a church, but we would still like to wish the whole Sanctuary Team (and
anyone else who happens to get this Newsletter) our very best wishes for a
safe and happy Christmas.


A DIFERENT KIND OF MOD
Two Los Angeles owners of the ACME Game Store on Melrose Ave, allegedly sold
Xbox game systems that had been modified by Pei Cai, of Pico Rivera, Calif.
Cai allegedly equipped the Xbox consoles with modification chips and large
hard drives to allow the user to copy rented or borrowed games onto the
device for future playback. http://news.com.com/2061-10805_3-6001848.html
