Reporting Mod Chip fitter's shop.

Random_23 · 5 Nov 2009 at 15:54

Hello all, How do I go about this? a local shop I noticed is advertising Mod Chip fits to play non regional and copied games. I cannot find anywhere to report this too!?

Many Thanks in advance.

Not sure if fitting is illegal? Are they actually selling pirated software?

I don't tihnk it's illegal. Just invalidates any warranty on the product

Damn beaten.

As said, I don't think I don't think the shop is doing anything illegal, just against the T&C of that particular console. Voiding warranty / on-line capabilities removed etc.

I'd imagine the main way they would get in trouble is if they actually sold MS Consoles, if MS knew they were doing that, they would no doubt stop supplying them.

It's not illegal, why would you want to report them anyway?

It might be a good idea to warn the shop not to MOD any 360's as they get banned right away as soon as you connect them online.

You do know that loads of people are playing MW2 right now, right?

Yeah, ban hammer always seems to come when the new wave of games arrives. (Wave 4 games are here now)

banhammer is an annual christmas event, i love watching the kids cry over their ban when theyve had a year or more playing free games lol

Modding is legal, my company mods consoles and i have cleared it with my solicitor, he says that under current law modification of a console is up to the owner. In the states however the law was changed recently to include that modding for the pure result of being able to play backups/copies was deemed ILLEGAL as it was "facilitating the use of pirate material" it wont be long till this comes over here.

Lol, grow up, you wanna report it? i saw somebody the other day throw a tap end on the floor, anybody know the number to report this? :rolleyes:
