加拿大的玩家注意了：在改主机之前请三思，因为有可能导致你坐牢。
根据加拿大警方的说法：Ps3或Xbox360 改 机 在加拿大属于犯罪，并且可能被判入狱10年。
在3月31号，魁北克附近的***搜查了一个住户，起获了数百份盗版游戏，一名嫌疑人被捕。
除了300份盗版游戏之外，警方还发现了用于破解主机，以及非法复制游戏的工具。
很多玩家都修改自己的主机，安装更大的硬盘，修改操作系统，以及安装各种芯片，当然这些做法将会导致保修协议失效。
在Ps3主机上加装芯片，能够使主机运行ps2游戏。
警方强调：修改主机或电脑，违反了法律的342.1款，最多可被判入狱10年。
警方的这一行动，旨在提高公众反盗版意识。每年因为破解主机，盗版的生产和销售导致游戏公司损失数百万美金。

Attention Canadian gamers: be careful if you decide to modify your video game console.
The decision to do so could land you in prison.
Modifying a video game console such as a PlayStation3 or Xbox 360 is a crime in Canada and could result in a penalty of up to 10 years in prison, according to a recent release from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
On March 31, RCMP officers from the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean Detachment (with assistance of the Surete du Quebec) searched a residence in Roberval, Que., which led to the discovery and seizure of "hundreds of counterfeit video games and the arrest of one suspect," according to an RCMP statement.
In addition to the 300 counterfeit games which were seized as part of the raid, officers also discovered "materials used to modify consoles and illegally reproduce video games."
Some console owners have been known to modify their game systems with larger hard drives or alternate operating systems while others install so-called "mod chips" which allow the system to play counterfeit and unlicensed games. In many cases, such modifications void the manufacturer's warranty on the system.
In the case of Sony's PlayStation3, some mod chips allow gamers to play PlayStation 2 games on the system.
"Modifying a console and computer is considered an illegal act under section 342.1 of the Criminal Code and is punishable by imprisonment for up to ten years," the RCMP said in the statement.
"The RCMP takes this opportunity to promote public awareness of the scourge of counterfeiting. The modification of game consoles and illegal production and sale of counterfeit video games account for losses of several million dollars annually."
First reported by University of Ottawa law professor Michael Geist.
