I know for a fact that this is a complete fake. I am running OSX on my intel (windows) machine through x86 hacks, and I get the same exact thing at boot. And besides, the only way you get that last second of code (white text on black) on the booting screen is when you're running it off an IDE hard drive. Since the Xbox 360 doesn't have IDE and uses SATA, it's not true. Also, even on my wintel machine, I had to download special drivers and hacks for my video card and cpu, and still didn't get absolutely perfect performance like this guy. Therefore, he is a hoax and should burn.

Um, if you run OS X in single-user or verbose mode at the bootloader, regardless of PPC or Intel Macintosh, you can get the console on boot.
Just hold V (or is it command-V?) on any OS X Macintosh and you should get something similar, or provide -v to the mac-boot command in Open Firmware on PPC machines.
Not that it's not necessarily a hoax.

Akbar, you don't really know much with x86 hacks do you? the white text on black doesn't mean you have IDE, its verbose mode (-v) on boot. i have sata on my laptop with x86 hackingtosh and i get that as default after the install of a hacked osx.

Sorry about that guys you're right. However, I still doubt the guy booted osx off a 360. Wouldn't they do Windows first?
