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.

Hopefully MS will be unbanning after the release date and this ban is just a precaution, in order to stop people recording game-play and features etc. I would not be very happy after loosing 400 odd pounds and it being the shipping company's fault.

He sounds like a dedicated Xbox. They will defend the most amazing things. Like a lot of what they do MS brought the heat on themselves. If they were going to do this then the Ban noticed should have explained the situation. Now it does not matter how reasonable they may seem the damage is done. People will hear about others getting banned even though they did nothing wrong at all. Just one more nail in the Xbone coffin.

For one of the biggest companies on the planet they certainly act like clueless morons far too often. The rest of the time they are just soulless bastards.

loll guys calm down
he worked everything out with Major Nelson and Microsoft with their negotiations
MS obviously knows its not his fault and offered him an invitation to the launch party

he might also be cleared in the coming days close to release date to show xbox one videos before launch

lucky man tho wish it was me haha

Amp- I'm pretty sure he was banned for leaking content.


I would bet on that. It is still a fair while until the Xbox One is released

It really should be target's fault, not the person that bought the xbox one.

Hope it's only a temporary ban

R2-D2 Serves them right for getting banned. This is so not real....Explain to me how Target managed to shipped 2 consoles by mistake...not hundreds, but just 2 consoles. This is really dumb, the story, that is.


Why is it their fault? What if one came on your doorstep early? You wouldn't just leave it in the box until release date would you?
