>> From Major Nelson's Twitter (via team-xecuter.com):
[QUOTE]
Be careful folks! RT @Stepto Hrm. I spy with my little eye some *illegitimate* ODST players. No early play for you. Commencing permabans.
[/QUOTE]

*Update* Seems like Microsoft claims they can detect illegitimate copies. Xbox Live Chief of Police Stephen Toulouse told kotaku.com:
[QUOTE]
I can be clear however that this applies to illegitimate copies only, the ban covers the Xbox LIVE account and could possibly include their console depending on the results of our investigations (which are ongoing). We do this from time to time with titles to combat piracy.
If a user happens to purchase a legit copy of Halo 3: ODST early, then our problem is not with the user but the retailer who broke the street date. Those individuals will not be punished.

The leak happen in FRANCE so if they see a gamertag from another country (us,canada..) playing the game early they investigate the gamertag further.

If they dont know how it works, then most likely they are just ripping off publishers for their own personal gain and deserve to be banned. Unlike some of us true gamers who still purchse games.

Wasn't the game rip corrupt?

I'm guessing that was the instant flag that was thrown. (That is just my opinion)

Edit - Homesick, congrats on the AfterDawn Addict. :)
