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 to play pirated discs 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.

I got some friends that might be in that group. And they're really cool. Ah well, serves them right stealing the games.

Are you telling me you've never downloaded a song or anything from limewire or a similar site? Its all the same, I know the value differs, its still piracy.

And you dont have to feel sorry for them, i wouldnt, if mine got banned, I wouldnt have cared, I would have kept it, bought a new one and use the flashed one to see if I liked the game before paying full whack for it. People who moan if they got banned must be inbreads, that would be like stealing a car, getting arrested and then complaining about it.

As for the vodka, if your that desperate for a drink, go to a club and wait for people to leave their drinks outside the smoking rooms and take them like the scroats do at some clubs lol

Oh yea, what I cant seem to understand is that Sainsburys and Morrisons charge roughly £26 for MW2 and the RRP is £45. Now you cant say they would take a £19 loss of each copy sold, so obviously the consumer is being ripped off.
