Not the Xbox One. The 360 had some wild mod chips back in the day, which actually required drilling into the CPU at a specific spot to cut some internal contacts. Basically, the 360 used a physical connection between two pins on the CPU for security. So the modchip required drilling into the CPU, to sever that connection and allow the modchip to inject its own code instead. That’s when MS (mostly) realized that relying on physical connections for security was a bad idea, because an end user has physical access to the device.
Don’t know anything about that scene, has it ever been cracked?

Nope. Never. It’s pretty impressive.

IIRC AMD is inplementing it in their Ryzen 6000 CPUs.
