    Xbox "modders" face 30 years in prison

    Two owners of a Hollywood video game store, as well as a third man, were indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday for modifying Xbox xrated video game consoles to disable copy protection, and preloading copyrighted games onto the machines for sale.

    The case stems from an investigation by the Entertainment Software Association, whose investigators reported that they had bought a modified Xbox from the store in May 2005.

    If convicted, the store owners could face up to 30 years in federal prison.

                  They were busted for selling modded xboxes that were filled with 80+ pirated and copyrighted games.

                  Spend you some brain.

                                      modding your own xbox to pirate games... and pirating tons of xboxes to sell to the public filled with 80+ pirated games to make a hefty profit...

                                                  amen! got mine modded, and won't buy a 360 until it can actually hold a candle to mine (functionality-wise). as far as people selling chipped boxes loaded with games and facing consequences for their greed... they asked for it.

                                                      "preloading copyrighted games onto the machines for sale"

                                                      That's the key reason
