Xbox 360 Pirates: Were you banned from Xbox Live?

Following on from our report yesterday, which informed you about the number of Xbox 360 owners being banned for using modded consoles to play online, it is now thought that the figure has risen to 1 million Xbox 360 owners.

As you might know by now, the figure was previously thought to be at 600,000 - but the new 1m figure means that it equates to roughly 5% of the total Xbox Live subscriber base.

While we defintely don’t support Xbox 360 modding, speculation has begun on whether Microsoft are banning the wrong people. Over at Burn360, they have stated that Microsoft are banning people with modded Xbox 360 consoles - regardless if you have been online with it or not.

Our first question is: Have you been banned from Xbox Live? Our second question is: Are Microsoft over-reacting with the whole situation? Leave us a comment below with your thoughts.
