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

Kicka Id bug out if i got banned for that.. Did microsoft really expect him to sit and stare at the console for another what? 2 weeks? Lmao..
He got unbanned when the actual release date hit.
Not a big deal.

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.
It won't be long before fiber optics is available everywhere.

-CP That is infinitely unfair.
How do you figure this?
The consoles were probably either stolen or shouldn't have been there in the first place?
They were only banned until the official launch and then were unbanned.

Gossip Its stupid that he got banned. He got his Xbox legit...what a waste of $500.
He got banned just long enough for the original launch to happen.
It makes sense.

OhmNDSU Dang 10,000$ for a pre-release Version. That's insane what people will pay for stuff.
im sure people were really making offers because it was going to go to charity
No.
The versions are sold by people that got it early and profits are going just to them.
Rich kids are getting their parents to pay thousands for the early consoles.

I can see why MS banned one of the people.
If someone gets something like this early, they are probably going to think it was stolen.

The console will be unbanned closer to the launch of the Xbox One. So it's not really a complete waste
