Modern Warfare 2 Early Sales

[Backslash]

I went to GameStop tonight to reserve MW2 because my console was banned and I had bought a new 1. Anyway, the guy and I started talking about Game Craze in my area, North East USA and that most were selling them early. He said anyone who played it online before Tuesday November 10th, 2009, will be banned from Live (Console Ban) because they will find them playing before the release date. People who bought it would need proof of purchase from the receipt saying they bought that game. However the receipts issued at Game Craze stated "New Release: $59.99" instead of saying the game name. This will inhibit users from unbanning their consoles if indeed they bought it. ~ Words from GameStop Manager in Syracuse, New York. Also stated this information he obtained came directly from his corporate office.

They were banned early, as happens for playing any game early.

 

The xbox live team is not a democracy. You get banned, then you get banned. I doubt trying to prove your innocence will help.

well the 5 people i know aren't banned yet so we will see.

Plain and simple, don't play the game before it's released. The Xbox team doesn't give a shit if you bought it fair and square.

They will probably be banned in the near future.

You won't get banned for playing early. Quote from Fourzerotwo's twitter:

 

@WePlayCoD @madmarzo Any players who purchased a legit retail copy will not be reset or banned. Only modded / pirate versions will be.
