...he was chipping the consoles and installing a 200GB hard drive with 80 games pre-loaded, and then re-selling the modded units on the web for a price in excess of USD $650.

Granted, according to the article even the chipping process is illegal under UK law (a law based on the same WTO directive that resulted in the DMCA here, if memory serves), but this guy was really pushing his luck.
