David Hoang, 43, of Essex in south east England has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for being in possession of modified games console chips. While banned in Britain and the United States, several countries, including Australia, Italy and Spain, permit the use of mod chips for importing region-coded games that may be delayed or never released in a country. Mod chips often, but not always, also permit the play of pirated games.
