Gamers who have altered their consoles cannot  use  Microsoft’s gaming service anymore

“It’s oh-so enticing: You find a copy of a brand-new game like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on a pirate site and the temptation to download it is too strong.”

Report: Microsoft bans 1 million Xbox Live players

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 — but also sales of pirated copies, which are illegal.

Microsoft said Wednesday

“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,”

Again has Microsoft banned a big huge amount of 600,000 – 1,000,000 XBox-Live user.

Is the XBox Live ban justifiable?

Conclusions Modern Warfare 2 PRESTIGE – CNet review

Jeff Bakalar

“While it can be overwhelming at times, the online multiplayer experience in Modern Warfare 2 is simply in a class by itself. The $60 price tag would be well spent on this mode alone, but there also happens to be a thrilling triple-A single player campaign packed in as well.”

Dan Ackerman

“Thanks to Hollywood-level production values, breakneck pacing, and great controls that just “feel” right, even in the very crowded first-person shooter genre, Modern Warfare 2 stands out as a best-of-breed.”

“Already have the PS3 or 360 version of Street Fighter IV? Wondering what possible reason you could have to pick up the recently released PC edition? Well, you could always map Sakura’s moves to Zangief’s character model. And somehow make Sakura look really, really disturbing in the process.”
