But what are you trying to secure on an Xbox really? Your saved games?
I have two answers to this.
1) Sure. Would you want some script kiddie to delete a saved game you've spent many hours working on? While it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, it would be frustrating.
2) Microsoft intends the XBox to be the first of a larger presence in the family home. Imagine when everything in your house runs through the XBox (or similiar device) as MS ultimately envisions. Would you want B1FF to be able to get control over your home security system? Your climate control? Banking info? I wouldn't.
