Online reports suggest that as many as 600,000 gamers may have been affected.
Microsoft confirmed that it had banned a "small percentage" of the 20 million Xbox Live users worldwide.
Microsoft said that modifying an Xbox 360 console "violates" the service's "terms of use" and would result in a player being disconnected.
Man, talk about timing... with MW2 out, I bet his pissed off a TON of people. Good news is, you can pick up a modded XBox360 for CHEAP

Good buddy of mine was hit with ye olde ban-hammer. His response:
Honestly I'm not too heartbroken by a Live ban. If I want to hear racists and homophobes scream at one another I'll turn on Fox News

I'm just glad that you can mute people in WM2 and other online games.. I've already come across all the racist, bigoted morons I can handle in my life time, so I would probably stop playing a game that doesn't allow you to mute people.
As for people getting banned... oh well.
