    I agree it's unlikely you get banned but to misrepresent the fact you can get banned is going overboard. Here's proof that a ban is possible(not of me)

      That's for banning Halo 4 pirates that not only played a downloaded (and burnt) game, they played it 2 weeks early!

        Thats for the people who played Halo 4 with pirated copies on 360 I use to have a modded 360 and that has nothing to do with region switching.

          Nevertheless the ban states it was for "prerelease play" this is an obvious precedent to be used for any other bans.

            Like I said, this has been around for years and never has been a problem. If it was a problem, Microsoft would have patched this.
            He just gave you a story.... Actually 2 people in this thread have. They are both lying?

              Simply, yes. Do a google search and educate yourself. Google "xbox one banned region switching" and tell me what you find. I'll even provide the link.

                I dont need to do that. Why? BECAUSE 2 PEOPLE IN THIS THREAD HAVE BEEN BANNED.

                LOL.

                No one here is saying its likely that people will be banned. They are just saying its possible. That it could happen.

                Its a risk. Likely a very small one. Even if the risk is only 1%, I wouldnt be willing to do it just to play a game 12 hrs early. Especially when I will likely be able to buy the game from a Mom and Pop shop on the 24th anyway.

                  They haven't though.... I've even provided proof and told you to get more educated on the topic. Now stop derailing the thread.

                    TBH you could probably find a mom and pop shop that has it now. And that's exactly my point IT CAN HAPPEN. Is it likely, probably not. If you guys wanna take the risk go for it. But don't come complaining here if you get banned for it.

                        You have no evidence that they are lying. Actually, I'm more willing to believe a guy like Redsox who has been a member of this site for a few years over someone who just joined the site this month.

                        I'm not derailing the thread. If anything, its nice that people here are willing to let people know that there is a small chance you will get banned if you download the game using this method.

                          I think at this point he is just trolling.

                            I actually talked to a M&P owner yesterday and he said that when it comes to Madden and 2k, M&P shops are now hesitant to sell those games more than a day before release date if that. EA and 2k pay very close attention to those release and monitor sites like OS to see if shops are selling it early.

                              Well here's your evidence. It's actually a feature on Xbox One that you can go to any marketplace as they specifically made all digital games Region-Free.

                              Now do you want me to link you to the article? Why bother, you probably wouldn't read it anyway.

                                Makes complete sense. And if I owned a M&P shop I wouldn't risk selling the game that early either like you said. Maybe a day early. Because these are the games that makes these shops the most money.
