Gamers who have altered consoles not permitted to use gaming service

Anywhere between an estimated 600,000 and 1 million players who use Microsoft's Xbox Live gaming service will be cut off from the service because they have modified their game consoles or played games that were illegally downloaded from file-sharing sites, according to the company.

"All consumers should know that piracy is illegal and that modifying their Xbox 360 console violates the Xbox Live terms of use, will void their warranty and result in a ban from Xbox Live," Microsoft said in a statement Wednesday.

to spread the faith? I can personally agree with him, at least for the twats who never buy a game they like.

I've had my 360 for ever a year and have yet to attempt to mod it. If I plan on playing a console game, it has to be pretty damn good to be worth my time, and it's if that's good, I'd have bought it, so...modding is pointless for me.

Somehow, being on a site whose sole purpose is to talk about scene released media - games or otherwise - seems a bit self-defeating when all you're going to do is to call pirates "thieves" and profess gladness at them getting banned.

Jus' sayin' is all..

Yeah, same here. I can't rent games here in Holland which is why I download them. I will buy the games that I really enjoy though. Like MW2, which I ordered earlier for the PC even though I've already beat the SP on veteran on the 360.
