Hey guys,
I was wondering what would happen if I got the game early and played it on xbox live? I got an e-mail from the online store that I am buying it from that they would be shipping the game to me on the 31st of October, and it gets delivered usually two days after it has been shipped.
The real question is, will I get in trouble playing it early online?
Probably not if it’s a legitimate copy. I’ve hear Newegg sends out games prior to release date. Doubt they would if you got banned for it.
You might get banned by playing it online.
Just call Microsft to tell them that you got it early then tell them your gt so they know not to ban you.
Microsoft can tell if a game is legit. You’re in no danger. If you want to be sure, you can call Microsoft, as Dragonslayer suggested, and/or play offline (no point in going online since the multiplayer servers won’t be online).
You will be fine.
Wow really? Who’d you buy it from (if I am allowed to ask?)? The only reason I ask is because that’s really early. Usually it’s only like a day or 2.
But like all others said in this thread. You’re good.
I am also wondering too. Because I am living Russia, I will get the game on ~12 hours early (when I will have nothember 6, you will have 5).
Hmm not so sure. A pirated copy would get you banned but a legitimate copy? Play this one safe man and hit Microsoft up about it and/or just stay offline till the 6th.
Pro tip: Look at your legitimate Xbox 360 disc for a game. Notice in the outside of the inner ring, on the data side, there is an easy to miss barcode. This is on retail copies of games like Halo 4 but not on your CD-Rs you bought at walmart. Now you know why you won’t get banned for playing it early.
It will defiantly be a legit copy because this website is legit, they have very good customer service and great delivery.
By the way, the website is called mightyape.com.au (Australian website)

No idea man sorry.
You will be fine. You can’t control when a retailer sends you a copy, and it isn’t your fault for receiving a product early through a retailer. The blame will fall on the retailer, not you.
Thanks for all your help guys!
