Definitely i used these offers before i sold my 360 several times and nothing occurred.They would not out of the blue punish these new people doing it without giving some sort of leniency or mention on the offer that doing such things is a violation.

My friend just got his 360 banned, presumably for downloading Rayman Legends.

My friend that works at Nickelodeon gets IMed by him all the time. Apparently he's super religious now.

The logical answer is that of course MS cherry-picked this one account from the many who downloaded free stuff from other regions. Nothing else going on here.
In 100% of cases like this so far, there is more to the story. There were thousands of forum-dwellers (NG, CAG, SD) that took advantage of these region-specific free games. If there were thousands of bannings, we'd know in an instant. If a specific person is banned, they were isolated. It's probably for a different reason. It's just common sense.
This again! Oh boy.
I will believe they're actually banning for this when a bunch of gaffers and cag get hit, because this exploit was widespread. Also agree that it makes no sense for them to ban people for it this close to next gen(though IMO this shouldn't be ban worthy at all anyway).

Sony doesn't ban pirates, didn't you hear? It's pretty sad that people on here push their fanboy agendas over someone most likely getting legitimately banned from Xbox Live. But hey, let's blame 'M$', right?

Nope.
MS is just being sneaky. They're going to ban 1 Oman exploiter a day until they've got them all, so nobody ever believes that's the reason! These threads are a warning! Make your next gen purchases carefully!*

Do not actually allow these threads to influence your next-gen buying decisions unless sufficient evidence of their actual meaning is available. Next-gen buying decisions should always be made carefully, but not by cheap points scored in GAF threads with little actual concrete data. Only buy next-gen consoles when prescribed by a Doctor. May cause nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, or diarrhea. Purchase Pepto Bismol with all next-gen consoles.
lmao perfect

Oman, I also read the first three pages of the other thread. 24h later I came back... we know what happened.

He has 8 other working 360's. If his account was banned then that would be a different story.

That's what I'm thinking too. We don't know what exactly happened but they just seem really aggressive.

8? Sheesh. And I thought having two Sega CDs was overkill.
Why is getting content bannable? That really irks me.
Circumventing pricing I can kind of understand, but what if I want Japanese only content or games?

um why? and thats probably it right there. and how many non-working 360 does he have?

I think his message is "MS banned you for being a pirate? Buy Playstation instead, they welcome pirates".
I mean, that's how it reads anyway.
That's not even a tiny bit fishy!
Da fuck? I bet 1 of them is modded.

What would on POSSIBLY need EIGHT different 360's for?
