Xbox One shipped early to two customers one gets banned by MS

4.6
Xbox One is already in the hands of two people, thanks to Target shipping the console out early – and one user has already had the console banned by Microsoft for hooking the machine up early.

One of the Target customers, via Engadget, posted the console on eBay stating the proceeds from the sale would go to “my corporation to create products for Special Ed students.”

The bidding got as high as $10,000 before the listing was taken down. A reason was not provided, but it’s possible Microsoft forced the issue.

On Twitter, the other Target customer, Moonlightswami, linked to a YouTube video he posted, showing his Xbox One being unboxed. It was soon taken down by YouTube due to a copyright claim from Microsoft.

Said user stated the Day One patch for Xbox One was around 500MB and said some of the games already available to download from the Xbox Games Store such as Call of Duty: Ghosts, use up anywhere from 43GB to 31GB and some donwload only titles such as Lococycle take up 13GB of hard drive space.

We’ll have to take his word for this information, because there is no way it can be confirmed at this time. He also said Kinect works rather well, so that is a plus.

While Moonlightswami attained his Xbox One through legitimate means, Microsoft has since banned his console.

Microsoft has not issued comment on either occurrence.

VEVO So basically that 500GB hard drive is extremely measly. Nice. Seeing how big these downloads are, I must say, I feel REALLY bad for you guys still stuck with slow internet. Times are changing big.


Yeah my crappy 5mbps download speed is going to TANK sooo bad for me if I want to do anything.. Better try and get a deal for a decent 25mbps from Comcast or something..

That's so **** unfair to that guy, man... Blame Target not him, if they make a mistake, they should be punished, but not him. All he did was pay for his item and recieved it when they shipped it out. Now what would be amazing is if that guy switched to PS4 like so many other xbox users including myself ;)
