As I remember xbots are never anger at M$ no matter what, aren't you bunch xtards infinitly loyal and self-sacraficing to always please M$. It's okay if they slam the hammer on ya with penalties thounsands of times longer that any death penalty I've ever heard of. Don't worry about it you're a loyal fan just be a good boy and bend down so they can stick it anywhere they want it. But you must put a smile on your face at all times so show your dedication. M$ loves you so much Bill is willing to punish you for just 7,992 years...ah isn't that sweet he is such a nice and Sony is bad they won't punish you. So don't forget to express your love for M$ because we all know xbots like to be punish like naughty full grown women on their back. So xbot show your appreciation and M$ and repeat after me. I love M$ because I love to be hammer in the ass for 7992 years and please keep the unethically outrageous punishments come....I llove you M$.

 » where

are these people getting this? I'm usually able to find this stuff when i hear about it but it doesn't seem to be making the 'normal' rounds...

 » @pete best

They more than likely work at a gaming store and once they got their shipment in they decided to take one home. I work at The Game Shop here in Liverpool, we sometimes get games in a week before the release date, sometimes even longer. The only game Ive taken home and played before it went on sale was Guitar Hero 2 for 360. Meh, oh well...

So they were just playing by themselves.... worthless.

It wasn't a hard copy of Halo 3, it was the Halo 3 Epsilon which is an internal Halo 3 test given only to MS and Bungie employees and a few select friends of Bungie. It is downloaded from Xbox Live.

What they did is the whole they know a guy who knows a guy etc etc thing, at the start of this is a guy who somehow got the Epsilon (legally), and two people told him they had a Project Gotham Racing 4 beta. They agreed to swap accounts, the guy with Epsilon would get to dl PGR4 beta and the guys with PGR4 beta would get Epsilon. Well, the guy with Epsilon gave is account info first, since I guess he was very eager to play a PGR4 beta that doesn't exist, and as soon as the guys got his info they just left him hanging and went to download the beta. They then proceeded to pass this guy's info out to a lot of people who were all banned for playing it (like someone below me said, more than two people got the OVER 9000 year ban), these guys mentioned in the story got it from someone who had the info and they say they didn't know it was stolen. That's pretty much it, and the two mentioned here say MS is thinking about lifting the ban.

nothing personal to you, but why is it that people say 'pwnage'? It's Such a nerd/geek insult. Just like 'Noob' and 'Fanboy' and the phrase 'Owned'. Its just a bunch of crap. In fact, you are all a bunch of nerds and i am never coming on this website again. Good Bye!

 » @?

No one gives a flying S.H.I.T If you don't the words or not coming back here, your an idiot plain as day.

 » duh!

Well ofcourse, 1 in 3 360s die from the RROD. Why would they make their system able to live that long? :)

 » exactly!

thats exactly what I was thinking, only I would have used punctuation, proof-reading and general outlining before I put that dribble down for the world to see.

I doubt they need a new xbox, just a new account and IP address.

 » .

It bans your xbox, not your XBL account.
Which is smart, because then you can't just make a new account, and yet it sucks because now that Xbox 360 can never play online again :)

 » ma address

not if you change the NIC

 » What Good games does the PS3 offer

that the 360 does not?

 » Um

Warhawk.

While I would agree the 9999 is more than likely an arbitrary number and will be manually pulled at a given date in the near future, I would disagree with you when you say this ban wouldn't hold up under a civil tort challenge.

The individuals in question agreed to Microsoft's terms of conduct when they joined xbox live, or if they were company representatives as some have suggested, they signed a more comprehensive and indepth contract. Either way, they were clearly in violation in regards to their xbox live subscription, and Microsoft is legally entitled to void their contract and is not legally bound to provide them with service.
