Man convicted for hacking Xbox console
A 22-year-old man has become the first person in the UK to be convicted for modifying a video games console.
The Cambridge graduate was sentenced at Caerphilly Magistrates Court in Wales to 140 hours of community service.
The man had been selling modified Xbox consoles which he fitted with a big hard drive containing 80 games.
"This case sets a major precedent which marks a milestone in the fight against piracy," said games industry spokesman Michael Rawlinson.
