Next day they get blocked, and then they turn to the Xbox forums (links included to the thread) to complain, until suddenly they realize what happened...LMFAO so funny. The gamertag is | SCAR | and now he's banned until 12/31/9999 LOL

    Oh and btw I love Xboxic, read it since it started pretty much, first time posting tho!

    = appearing offline wouldnt have done anything, the whole time i was playing there was debug text running in the right corner and also the text in the bottom middle saying when i logged in and what my GT was. even if i appeared offline they would have still seen that.

I think he'll have a lot more trouble (using his mom maybe lol) getting back -oh the shame! Playing Halo 3 under your mom's name!

    its only a ban on the console/gamertag you played it on, i personally have 4 360s and my dad has one of his own, all of which work fine online, and yes, i can easily sign up for a new tag under the same address and name and IP.

    The Halo 3 Epsilon test is not unsigned... im sure you read the story where a woman that works at MS got he son the epsilon then a couple guys stole his account and did the second profile glitch to get the beta off him, well they let some people do it then it blossomed into a good 100 people glitching into it, and i was one of them.

          If you buy the game from a retailer, I doubt they ban you. Now for those people who get it from inside the company prior to release, it would be a different ball game.

            Getting your hands on an unreleased Epsilon version of a game three weeks before its release is a little different from walking into Walmart on the Friday before the release of a game and finding a boxed copy on their shelf. No worries.

              I would assume so, otherwise he could pay $20 and change his gamertag and buy a new console.

                is this a shock?

                They've been swinging the banhammer for years on live for this kind of stuff. Only a true moron would sign onto live this early with a pirated game yet to be released.

                  So if these jackasses were to trade these consoles in to Gamestop, would they be useless to the next poor chump who bought it?

                    If he had a warranty, could he act like the console is broken and switch it?

                        I am sure when he called in and they asked for the serial number he'd be screwed.

                              not much different than the people who traded in failed mod chipped xboxes that still powered on or whatever.
