[QUOTE="biggest_loser"]I'd love to know you can get a "legitimate" copy early lol. Pffrbt
Buy it from a store selling it early, obviously.
They are not allowed to do this "OBVIOUSLY"[QUOTE="Cheleman"]You should wait. Like the rest of us. Or ar the very least play it offline. As a sign of consideration to those of us that do have to wait.Pffrbt
Why would you even care if other people play it early. Do you vicariously live through other people's enjoyment of a game? Why should they care if you cant play it?
First of all, stop making up words.
Second, whats the point in keeping everyone else waiting when the streetdate's already been broken?
And third, they should because if MS or Sony found out they've been playing the game early, then its bye bye console for them :(
Wow MS is really the most anti-consumer company in the gaming industry. In America it is normal for companies to treat people like shit, but everywhere else people expect better treatment.
53% complete after 2 days of play about 30 ish hours total gameplay playing on PS3 I have not been banned yet maybe just Microsoft doing it. Legit copys of the game have been out for about 4 days now, Mine is legit and I got it from a small computer shop in Cambridge run by a guy that would diss out a copy for 100 quid.Â
you don't get it do you. getting teh game before the release date is not legit. its not meant to happen.53% complete after 2 days of play about 30 ish hours total gameplay playing on PS3 I have not been banned yet maybe just Microsoft doing it.

I think this is disgusting. Banning people because they are playing on a legit console with a legit copy of the game. If they got it early don't blame them and then ban them it's not their fault they got it in the post early...What are they ment to do have it sitting by their TV until tuesday.
I am getting the 360 version of the game but microsoft latley has been annoying me with all of their choices they have made and hey silly actions they have taken.Â

Probably mistake them with pirated copies since those always leak,legaly they can't ban some one who play a game early if the game is legal,so i think they will unban the poor souls after it is confirmed that the game are legit.

It hapen all the time and more with games that you get by mail,they tend to send a few days early so that you get your copy on time,and many times it arrives 1 or 2 days before streeet date and there is nothing ilegal about that you bought that game legaly,it was the store fault not yours.

Watch out reviewers, your console just might be accidentally banned. Kjranunegative, they get dispsation on the situation and connect to the developer version of XBL or on a list of gamertags that are allowed to use it.Pretty sure Jim Sterling posted on twitter the other night that a load of settings got changed so he can review it im under the assumption this means he's on the dev version and would make sense in this case. The moral of the story is, you have it before its officialy released its illegal and breaking the agreement between you and the company providing the product AND the distributor and the manufacturer.Release dates are kinda there for a reason and in this case rockstar dont wany any stram to be let out of the hype train before tuesday.

Theres a simple solution, dont buy anythin xbox. Speak with yo wallet and MS will listen, moaning on an internet forum MS doesnt give a dam about will make no difference at all.

There is no moral to this story a store give you a game early which you legaly pay for it,there is no reason why MS should ban you or can even ban your console for it legaly,in fact it is the store the one that should face problems for giving you the game early,is the store the one that has to respect the launch agreement.
I think MS will unban them once they get to confirm the game is legal.
[QUOTE="delta3074"]we don't care about people playing it early, it's the inevitible spoilers that usually come with something like thisfoxhound_foxGet off the internet if you want to avoid spoilers.why should i, it's up to other people to show consideration and not post spoilers, thats why there are rules on here about getting banned if you reveal spoilers about a game, why should i have to leave to avoid the inconsiderate attitudes of others, thats like saying it's my fault i got attacked in my own home because i was there and didn't leave.

MS has no way to tell if the game is a legitimate copy or a pirated copy so they would have to assume it's pirated, you also obviously didn't read the article, it's rockstar pulling the strings on this one, Not MS, MS are just sticking to Rockstars policy, which they Legally have too.

'Rockstar Games has a specific policy that mentions leaking content of a game before the release, and one of the videos leaked contained the individuals gamertag. As you can imagine, their system was banned by Microsoft which means theyll need to purchase a new one to play on Xbox Live again.' What do you think would have happened if MS had not Enforced rockstars policys? I get what you are saying but you are levelling the Blame at the wrong company. MS can do some shitty things sometimes, like banning peoples consoles for using third party HDD's but they are not at fault this time, you should Rant at Rockstar for having such Draconian policies. And i completely agree with your policy on innocent until proven Guilty:) It's been a shit situation all round since release dates where set in stone.
