I had vampire Rain before release date, i unhook my hard-drive (i wanted to see if the game worked)I played the game for 30 sec, soon after i looked over at played games Vampire Rain was there with 0 achievements. I'm not ban yet but maybe in the future i will be, i will post info once i get ban
what he is sayin is that when you play a game it is your played games history, if they see he has played it before release they will think something is fishy, you smell me?? haha
I don't think merely playing a game before it's release equals a ban. I think it just puts you on their radar and you go on a scan list. If they catch you slippin' then you are banned. It's obvious they aren't scanning and banning everyone, because there are quite a few Hitachi owners and people who played non stealth games who aren't banned.
if i get ban i will let you'll know, but i thought if i unhook the hd and didn't save anything they wouldnt know but they do. im using xxtreme 1.0 on a sammy let me know something guys
