    It appears today is banning day in the video game world. In addition to Blizzard's recent exploits, Microsoft has also gotten in on the action. The company has banned a number of users with modified Xbox 360 consoles from Xbox Live, though specific numbers and the length of the bans were not revealed.

    "In our our continued effort to keep game play safe and secure for our community of more than 14 million members, Microsoft has taken action against a small percentage of Xbox 360 consoles that have been illegally modified in order to play pirated games," Larry Hyrb, also known as Major Nelson, wrote on his blog. He then added that into addition to the ban, modifying a 360 in any way will result in a voided warranty.

    No harm there i suppose. Sucks to some tho. They might have bought a modded console without knowing and then get whacked with the hammer.
