Those having acquired slippery, early code for games like and 3 are seemingly in trouble, those caught playing pirated copies facing Live bans from Microsoft.

"You know, when you play a pre-release title on Live when I know you shouldn't have it, it's not hard for me to figure out," Director of Policy and Enforcement Stephen Toulouse told Twitter, with bans confirmed.

On the subject of games bought early at retail, the director adds: "Don't worry folks, anyone who bought a copy early is okay. In general, if you got a receipt, play away. These are illegit copies were hitting."

No Xbox Live for you, naughty pirates.

    I would personally love to talk to the xbox live director of Policy and Enforcement Mr. Stephan Toulous because Yes, I do have a modded xbox but NOT once have I played or even downloaded a game before the release date.
    Why do I get banned for MW2 leak? Not my problem.... Your are completely banned from live. ive paid 4 years running countless games 65 a piece year subscribions. This is BS and I am not spending another 400 on a xbox 360

    Frobo, and what would you tell the director of Policy and Enforcement if you talked with him? Its like saying I robbed an empty house and I think I did it right and no one saw me do it, but they got me on video and I got caught. What B.S.! Lol, not to break your balls or anything cause i got banned too, but come on, bottom line, you're pirating games. It is your problem. Playing backups after the release date doesnt mean you shouldn't get banned, your still playing burned games. Stop crying, it happened to almost everyone with a modded 360.
