Pro-G has "confirmed" with Microsoft that people playing copies of Halo 3 earlier than the official release date will be banned from Xbox Live with great vengeance and furious anger.
However, they have also "confirmed" that this ban only applies to Microsoft employees that have been playing Halo 3 early.
TheFeed hopes it is only MS employees because if a gamer buys the game in a store that's breaking the street date, that is the store's fault. The incredibly lucky gamer should not be at fault.
but now
Gamers rejoice! Earlier we reported that Microsoft was potentially banning players that had gotten their hands on Halo 3 early, but they have now issues a statement on the matter:
"We can confirm that Microsoft is not taking any action (such as banning Xbox Live accounts) against gamers who are playing Halo 3 before the official street date. Any rumours or speculation to the contrary are false."
