Walmart will not get in trouble.Couldn't they get in big trouble for this by breaking the street date on such a big release? A purchaser should definitely worry about a ban from MS as well.
you are not going to get banned for playing this game early because you can't. You can't servers don't go live until the game goes live in AU (10am Monday). From that point you can't get in trouble.Couldn't they get in big trouble for this by breaking the street date on such a big release? A purchaser should definitely worry about a ban from MS as well.
People who played Halo 3 early got banned iirc. Not worth the riskYou might get banned playing it earlier. The bans for Gow3 sucked and since it is online only don't bother.
Even if the servers were up people wouldn't be banned. Read the article. They were banning people because they assumed you pirated a copy. I remember listening to Major Nelson's podcast at the time and he said if you bought the game from a store that sold it early 'enjoy the game' because they won't ban you for legally buying the product. Would be the same situation here. They will give Sam's a ton of grief for selling them early but would not ban people who bought the game from them.People who played Halo 3 early got banned iirc.

But this is isn't a Microsoft game so who knows.
Bungie straight up said its ok...Gotta love all of the people saying, 'You won't get in trouble.', even with the amount of times people have in the past. That said, it's pretty pointless to get it early. The servers aren't up.
I've always questioned when and why society started using "Sale" and "Discounted" synonymously."For Sale" vs. "On Sale"
Keeps you up nights, does it?I've always questioned when and why society started using "Sale" and "Discounted" synonymously.
When is he not mad? He's so mad, he scowls in his sleep. He's so mad, he has 3 emotions: angry, pissed, and nuclear.Mr Hat is going to be mad.
They wont ban you. Only people who get banned are people playing downloaded copies of games.I dont see how ms could ban you if you go into a retailer and they sell it to you. not t1o say they they wouldn't

Sadly, no. It just means FedEx will dump it off at my post office, and I hopefully get it Tuesday.so does that mean you are getting it before tuesday?
Those people getting banned were playing pirated copies on a modded xbox. You will not be banned for playing a game "early" when it is a legit purchase.People who played Halo 3 early got banned iirc. Not worth the risk

At least a little.So they do care?
Huh?Even if the servers were up, the Digital Xbox One freebie kills this anyhow.
Someone's bitter.Watch it be crushed
