A few days ago there had informed of a new wave of banks led by Microsoft to combat those who illegally modified consoles to play pirated titles: in the last hours are coming reports of Italian users banned for the same reason, and therefore believe that it also actively involves our country.

Who is being "pinched" from Microsoft with a modified console, trying to connect to Live receives the following message: "This console has been banned for violation of the conditions for use. To protect the Xbox Live and its subscribers, Microsoft does not provide details on the console banned. for violations of the conditions for use there is no appeal. "

For its part, Microsoft issued a statement yesterday explaining that changing the console will invalidate any warranty or support, and that the company will move more aggressively to protect the brand and the Xbox Live service users from these attempts to "burglary".
