I've been saying that the consoles should do this for awhile. I don't agree with pirating games. If you like the game, buy it, support it so we get more games like it. Even worse when pirates on Wii steal the "core" games. Then we loose the chance to get additional core games because they don't sell.
I agree with bricking the console because of stolen software. THAT IS ILLEGAL. Seeing as they have a way to detect it you're lucky that they're only bricking your console, not suing you.
I don't think that I agree with bricking because of upgrading the HDD though. However, I have the 250GB so I am not worried about space.
