Illegal Copies Of Halo 3 Will Get Your Console Banned For Life
By William on Thursday, September 6th, 2007 at 1:10 PM PST In Halo, Microsoft
It looks like Microsoft is finally handing out lifetime console bans instead of the usual temporary ban for morons who try to play online with an illegal copy of a game. In this case, the gamer attempted to play an illegal copy of Halo 3 online. When the game didn’t work properly online, he apparently contacted Microsoft’s technical department to help solve the problem. That may not have been the smartest move ever, but certainly not the most moronic one I have heard of in recent days.
The lesson to be learned here is very simple. If you have pirated games, do not attempt to go online with them. I thought that was common sense, but you never know with people these days.
That’s about as stupid as trying to do automatic updates with an illegal copy of Windows (whistling innocently).

I think that is a great idea! one of my “friends” said he was gonna get a copy of Halo 3 for £7.50, now if he uses it, he gets banned
! what a true friend i am…. 
Wait… does that mean theres a pirated copy of Halo 3 already around, while Im waiting for my preorder to arrive.
Excuse me, while I scream into a pillow every single cursing word in the english language.

-times googol) at the googol plus power.
Look at that gamerscore…..kinda sucks for him, but, he had to know that it was wrong.
lol… that does suck for him
but he isn’t banned forever
when the year 10,000 rolls around he will be back on teebagging n00bs!
what a n00b move
ppl that dumb deserve to get banned
Surely the message here should be to not pirate games at all?
Not just offline.
*sigh*
Its why the gaming industry loses millions of pounds/dollars a year and we end up with some quality titles under-selling.
“12/31/9999″…….

Me fear Y10K bug.
Oh well… gotta take out that hard drive big guy… it helps…
God the guy who tried this was a noob!
