Thousands of gamers have been barred from playing Xbox Live by Microsoft in an attempt to clamp down on piracy.

The US computing giant said it had banned the consoles because owners had modified the equipment to play games without paying for them.

People whose Xboxes have been blocked will have to buy new machines if they want to connect to Xbox Live.
