Microsoft is handing out Permanent Bans to players who obtained illegal copies of Forza 3 and Badlands, playing them online.
Here is a screenshot of the email that is being sent out to notify you that you will never be an Xbox Live member.. Again.

Microsoft said in an email that these bans are for people who obtained there copy illegally. If you bought yours from a retailer who broke the release date you are ok.
Beginning in August, Xbox Live users will be able to download full Xbox 360 games to their consoles via the service. Microsoft made the announcement during a luncheon following its pre-E3 press conference.
Similar to XBLA titles, new releases will be made available weekly for a price comparable to what the boxed version is selling for at retail. Once the service — which is integrated into the Games Marketplace — launches, 360 game download purchases can be made using Microsoft Points or using a credit card.
Mass Effect, Assassin’s Creed and Civilization Revolution were used as examples of titles that will be available via the service. The possibility to downloading games on a rental basis was brought up but not confirmed, with MS stating that it is always looking to evolve its services.
So it seems that Amazon.com is now selling XBLA games. “How and why are they doing this?” you may be asking yourself.
Apparently they’re selling download codes. You buy them, then input them in in the proper field on the dashboard and there you go.
“Why should I care? Why not just use my points?” you may also be asking yourself. Now slap yourself in the face and yell “Lamont, you big dummy!” in a Red Fox voice. Here’s why. First off you can tell how much shit is. Sure 400 points is 5 bucks, but at 3 a.m. when I’m drunk and downloading new games (pretty much the main time I do this ritual) I can’t be bothered to remember that crap. Secondly, they discount titles that don’t seem to be discounted on XBL. Take a look at Pac Man CE. DISCOUNT. And thirdly, if you have Amazon credit, you can use it to purchase XBLA titles now.
See, I gave you three reasons as to why it’s a good thing. Now go gift me some amazon.com XBLA titles.
Oh, shit. That’s four good reasons.
OK so yes you can already play it on live, but today 1vs1 or 2vs2 for 5 bucks more. What a bad joke if it was 5 vs 5 then hell ya. But this is like having a dinner with out a drink, hell yes woman I need a tasty beverage. 1vs1 is like just having water but 5vs5 or more is like a good glass of Mountain Dew. So give me more to shoot at Capcom. What the hell to have a game thats good online and off is hard to come by….
NOOOOOOO
Why why why now I’m sad
maybe they will use my site next
SHITTER.com
you can shit on people that’s like tweeting and the followers would be called dingleberrys
now that would rock
Way to go fellow WAW’ers! Since the DLC’s release, over 150 million multiplayer sessions have been played. The exact number for downloads has yet to be release but at least you know it’s more then any other piece of DLC has been downloaded in the 1st week.
This just goes to prove that people want more scenarios and maps to kill people on! For those who don’t already have the map pack then to hell with you. Just kiddin. Call of Duty: World at War, Map Pack 1 is now available on Xbox LIVE for 800 Microsoft points.
Happy Fraggin!
