How-To: Run Flash games on your Xbox 360 - Engadget

At the end of 2005 a hacking group known as PI released a copy of the demo disk found inside of the Xbox 360 kiosks. PI has been cranking out a lot of these game ISO files even though there isn’t a way to play them yet. The thing that makes the kiosk disc special is that Microsoft didn’t enable many of the security features found on regular game discs. Granted, the actual executable files are still cryptographically signed, but you can manipulate many of the other unsigned files on the disc. The disc doesn’t have a strict media flag either, so you can burn it to a CD/DVD and it will play in any Xbox 360. The Xbox-Scene community has been investigating booting your own Flash files using the disc which is what we’ll be showing you today. The final result will be a disc that is playable on any Xbox 360.

Now that’s pretty awesome stuff, and talk about a process to get it working. Although we all know you can’t put a price on watching your friends faces when you show them the “flash intro” you built for your 360 ;)
