Microsoft has confirmed that users who have modified the firmware of the DVD-ROM in their Xbox 360 to allow non-genuine game disks to be played will no longer be able to access Xbox Live but will not have their accounts banned.

In its Gamerscore Blog Microsoft states that the crackdown is to “maintain a fair gaming environment” but the ban is widely seen as move against pirated disks, particularly of the game Crackdown which allows access to the Halo 3 beta.

“We have stated in the past that customers can only enjoy access to the Xbox LIVE community through the use of a genuine, unmodified, Xbox console and we will continue to enforce this rule to ensure the integrity of our service…” continued the blog.
