Car Mechanic Builds xBot to Play XBox 360

eldavojohn writes: "A simple device that starts and restarts Perfect Dark Zero has been built by a car mechanic apparently annoyed at his inability to unlock in game content. He calculated that 40 hours of gameplay (or 2,000 offline matches) would garner him the last 60 points needed to unlock content on his Xbox 360. Should people that have the knowledge to 'hack' interfaces to games be praised for their engineering innovation or be indited as cheaters? I personally think that game bots are a great way to enter the world of artificial intelligence but am disappointed when the most effective ideas are the simplest unintelligent scripts or mods."
