If you pirate games on your Xbox 360, prepare to face the might of the banhammer. Although there are probably people who will still get around this, the risk has just gone up.
Microsoft has begun its next round of bannings by detecting burned discs that are not perfect copies of retail games.
As always, the bans are not linked to a user's gamertag, but to the actual Xbox 360. This means if you get caught, you'll have to get yourself a new console to play on Live.
This is also the time where we remind our readers NOT to buy used Xbox 360's on eBay because you could end up with a banned console.
