Personally I think it's a dumb move to ban the best PR MS has had for the Xbone until launch. Par for the course I guess.

I'll try to get him on a bit early, but the service, store and UI are still getting some finishing touches on it so we're not completely ready yet.
I hope Mark Cerny sucks this dudes dick and swallows his cum load. Even better feel good story.
Most copyright infringement claims relating to gaming are over videos that the copyright owner did not make so I'm not sure you think that is a valid point even for a person not well-versed in the topic. The second point doesn't even have anything to do with what I was saying. It is a fact that until product or work is published/made publicly available, the copyright owner (or IP owner) retains more rights and control over it. Just because there is a third party involved who made a mistake does not mean those rights have necessarily been forfeited. I'm not an IP lawyer and I do not know the basis of their claim, so I've no idea whether this claim could succeed in a court, but rather I am suggesting that these issues are much more complicated than you seem to believe.1) Making a DMCA claim on Youtube is making a copyright claim. Making a copyright ownership claim over a video they didn't make is FRAUD.
2) No just because there's a street date (an agreement between a manufacturer and retailer, not a law) on a product does not give them "more rights and control over it." The consequences of breaking the street date fall entirely upon the shoulders of Target, who made the agreement with Microsoft. Once Target gave the product to the user, that user owns it, period. The user can take pictures of it, record video of it, or go all office space on it. It's theirs. It already passed from Microsoft's hands when they sold it to Target, and from Target's hands to the user. If they want it back so badly they will have to strike an agreement with the user (i.e. buy it from them).
Do you guys remember this?
I wonder if retailers were told to expect a November 8th launch, put it into their system, and Target forgot to update that specific SKU after the 22nd announcement so it got sent out?
Larry, can I call you Larry? You are missing the big picture here, you know for a fact that you could get his console un-banned immediately. Microsoft's policy of shoot first ask questions later needs to stop. This is the perfect opportunity for the company to reverse course, since we are going into a new generation. Banning people for playing a game early when they received the game legally is beyond ridiculous.
I can sympathize with the fact that everything may not be ready currently, but that is honestly a moot point is it not?

Except he wasn't only just playing a game, he was leaking a shit ton of features that have not been shown to the public yet.
This is a good spot, they probably forgot to change the date of the standard edition so when they took the shipment on Monday it automatically went in stock on the site and started shipping.
Sounds reasonable.
Is this target though? Target doesn't do midnight launches as far as I am aware.

This isn't about leaking anything, it's about wanting to control the messages the consumer communicates - and that is messed up.
This topic is full of the worst apologist nonsense I have seen since the original DRM meltdowns. Just that numbered "summary" above trying to paint the dude and all negativity in the most bitchy manner possible is frankly amazing alone.
Tweaked it a bit, one thing was out of order (his unboxing video came before the twitter details), but otherwise great summary.

God damn that thing is huge.
He got permed?
MS are super dickish punishing a law abiding consumer instead of punisher the retailer that did the mistake.
The individual consumer did nothing wrong

They haven't really punished him. They have removed access to XBL until launch because it isn't finished yet.

I rather wait and see post-launch if this is true. We will have to wait 'till then
A Microsoft spokesperson tells Engadget that the Xbox One consoles some consumers received by accident well ahead of launch on November 22nd cannot access Xbox Live until closer to launch. The statement says: "Due to a retail partner's system issue, a very small number of Xbox One consoles were shipped to consumers before the November 22 street date. We're pleased to see the initial response to Xbox One has been so positive, but given we are still putting the finishing touches on our games, UI and online services, as well as confidential partner and media agreements, these consoles units will be restricted from connecting to Xbox Live until closer to our launch date."
he was banned from live until the 22nd. Unfortunately the message he saw did not say it.
not being able to access live until the 22nd is totally understandable. The messaging is what really sucks.

Well according to engadget:

Yup it's smaller in person. Kinect too,Seen it in person, completely disagree.

Does that mean it is not possible anymore or that it is forbidden to connect your console with Live, even if you don't leak a thing?
Nice to hear, thanks.Sure, you can call me Larry. As I noted, things are not ready. Also, he was not banned (his gamertag and Xbox 360 are not impacted) his console was just blocked from signing in. When things are ready, he'll get on early - that is what I am working on.
Yes. The only difference between them is the form of distribution.
FYI, it has also been stated that if a friend comes to your house and plays a disc game on your console that you'll be able to buy that game via the marketplace without having to install again.
Yup and if you didn't delete the installed game, it will just unlock - no need to redownload.
