Don't worry, they will look into it. They should be unbanned no problem.
Pending on scan or photo of receipt.
You obviously have no clue who I am.
It's harder to find a bigger Anti-Microsoft Gaffer than I.
I simply have no love and feel no pity for "schemers".

His receipt is from Launch Day.
As long as you send in an altered copy containing no confirmable information, you're good to go.Pending on scan or photo of receipt.
The guy pulled some shady shit to get the game early.There's no evidence of him being a "schemer", and the fact that MS banned someone playing a legitimate copy of the game is not something I can support as consumer.
I'm picturing a bunch of monkeys playing with switches. I don't know why. Random bannings for everyone!
By shady, you mean he asked for it? Yeah realllllly shady.The guy pulled some shady shit to get the game early.
He got caught.
He's paying the price.
I don't understand the tears.
Edit:
Sorry for the DP.

"Hey man can you sell me that game you can't sell yet?"By shady, you mean he asked for it? Yeah realllllly shady.

Yeah..
Shady...
I respect him for that.Basically, MS is punishing him for not selling out the place that sold it to him.
Everyone who plays online requires gold, so isn't that a 100%?
I respect him for that.
What I don't respect is the tears.

While I'm neutral on that whole situation, I do enjoy how people seem to think protecting that store is some sort of noble thing, when that store seemingly didn't offer their customer a replacement 360 for their mishap, or care about that guy at all.
I believe Skelington has a sweetheart arrangement with the store, he probably gets discounts and early releases all the time, and doesn't want to give up a good thing.
Sounds like a one way relationship.
I got the DLC but haven't really played Halo since. So I'm good as long as I don't play Halo???

Everything your going to say, and what I'm going to answer back with has already been said.
Get lost, the deal was still SHADY. Guy buys a game, the store owner doesn't give him a receipt and says he will put the money in the cash register once the game is released?
That's fucking Shady. Maybe you don't understand the word.
Should MS be banning people for playing legit copies of their game just coz a store fucked up?
Nope, of course not.
Doesn't stop that guys story from being SHADY though.

You have NO clue where he bought it or under what circumstances.
I read it, your post is shit.you guys should think a few times before popping in your disc and giving the population and xblive charts your vote, the population numbers are sinking lower and lower, if they were to continue to sink we might actually be able to get a halo game we want to play instead of one designed to have a F-tier movie packaged in, a half a page manual, dorito/dew xp bullshit, preorder dlc skin graphics, pretty much every petty childish piece of garbage marketing ploy in the book, NO RANKED MM, and shitty shitty short campaigns which are just push buttons to get to next COOL DUDEBRO scene all so IGN can give it a 9.8/10. Seriously!?
we can and will have a halo that is ran at a decent framerate, a game with dedicated servers. believe.
do it for halo ce and halo 2. the #'s are low enough where each individual can make a difference.
that is my plea. thanks to anyone who read this.

WTFSHIT
I logged into Halo 4 & went to the DLC option & when I clicked the crimson pack, it showed it as free!
I had no idea it was a glitch.
I played the DLC maps for one day, is there a way to still play them online without getting banned?

Poor 343. Losing so much money on problems that aren't their fault.
I really expect some kind of compensation for those who are getting banned with no reason.

This image increasingly sums up what one imagines both Sony and Microsoft's digital services headquarters look like inside.
Consumers should not be punished for buying a product at retail.
Microsoft said:As an additional reward to those customers that participated in our "14 Day, Play and Ban" program, we are providing complimentary bans via the Crimson Map Pack for a limited time, through Tuesday, December 18 at 9am UTC/GMT.There were some initial complications with the distribution of the "14 day, Play and Ban" reward tokens, and so we decided to provide the additional bans for Limited Edition buyers for a limited time, as a "fuck you" to our customers that contributed to the success of the "Halo 4" launch.
is this what we'll see on monday ?
I just got done watching season three of The Wire.. Fuckin Hamsterdam is what they've pulled off here lolMS provide early specialisation code as per promotion that ran until Nov 20
Code has a glitch which allows users to download Crimson Map Pack for free
MS embrace the glitch and tells users to download, allowing them to play for a limited time
MS begins banning said users who who were encouraged to download their "glitch" DLC
That's fucking entrapment :lol
OP, probably chuck this in the OP for those who aren't aware
Yes, and they received shit for doing that, rightfully so. But the Origin debacle was more recent, and they chose to swallow the losses instead.
