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.

(Msnbc.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBC Universal.)

The timing of the statement coincides with the release this week of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," a highly anticipated Xbox 360 game. The game's release means big sales

I laughed hard.

How much do you want to bet most of those banned players bounce to PS3? I'm thinking game retailers will start either doing an XBL test before trade in or request the blacklist from M$. As far as I know Sony doesn't have anything against people upgrading hard drives using third party companies. I do know swapping hard drives does void your warranty, you have to remove the warranty sticker to switch them.

so if i cut a hole in my xbox and put a plexiglass window in it and put blue l.e.d.s in it they can ban me? lmfao wow...

no, Daytona, they will ban you if you mod your firmware to be able to run pirated disks.
still, it's not the whole part of the truth... you can still mod and be ban free...
