FBI Xbox Raids
Game shops busted for modding consoles
Reuters reports that the FBI has raided three video-game stores, arresting two employees for selling $500 "Super Xbox" consoles. The consoles were modified to hold larger hard-drives, but also contained up to fifteen pirated titles already on the drives. Microsoft recently banned thousands of users from their broadband only gaming network for using modified consoles, some of which are only modified to run Linux or increase storage capacity, not pirate.
