So,

My copy of GT5 arrived this morning, I am just waiting to get home from work to give it a play.

Problem is, 2 seperate people have told me that if I play it before release day, I will be banned from PSN!

I am pretty sure this is complete BS. But could anyone confirm for me whether or not this is true?

The last thing i want is to try and play my game, and get a ban.

cheers guys

But it has a patch that needs downloading, giving me away instantly

You're fine (i'm really pretty sure) there were games out for sale in Portugal like one or two days ago and this guy even took pictures of himself playing the game.

Nothing will happen, the update 1.01 enables online play so there's literally nothing they can do anyway.

They are talking rubbish, tell that to GS who have already tested it... Many people were handed the game at multiple conferences so how can they possibly ban you? You won't get banned, infact you won't even connect as the servers get switched on midnight tonight... You shouldn't worry and anyone telling you that you'll get banned should themselves be banned.

I actually have most games one or two days before the original release, my online retail store seems to go the safest way by sending them 2-3 days before release so everyone has it at release. Not once have I had any proiblems with that and we^re speaking of probably over 50 games I got before the release

Havn't Microsoft banned for playing games early before? I'm GTA IV (PC Version) has a release date thing you have to do when you start it up.

It's not that i can't wait.

It's that i have the game and would like to play it.

If i couldn't play it, i would carry on playing brotherhood, but seeing as it shouldn't be a problem, I'll chuck it on.

They're just saying that so that you won't play it early and make them jealous.
