SHOCKING: Guy gets banned for playing illegal Halo 3 copy…

Friday, Sep. 7 2007 | Author: Drew

See, old | Scar | here was just going about his business, updating his Uno game on Live, when suddenly he got the above message. Why would the evil empire of Microsoft do this to a poor, unassuming gamer such as himself?

From his post on the Xbox Support Forum:

I think I know why we got banned now

yep i sure do

Do you think they would ban my console because I played halo 3 epsilon yesterday?

Okay, genius, here’s some free advice. Don’t play games illegally. If you choose to ignore that nugget of wisdom, here’s another one…don’t connect to Live while you play said illegal game.

But don’t sweat, | Scar |. That ban expires on 12/31/9999. Only 7,992 years to go!

i dont know how you got the game b4 its release…and you cant download the game and burn it to a disk and play it on the xbox because it wont play burned games….unless you have the mod from the website i would mention in trade for that info….cuz i want assassins creed b4 it comes out.(or how to find the xbox live keygenerators) because i think its dumb that sony lets you have free net..but xbox makes you pay:-?
