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.

They must have connections with Target or hundreds of people wouldve gotten the system already. SO i doubt getting banned will effect him.

yes a better move from M$ would have been to somehow try to come to an agreement with the customer through games, money or what ever means to keep it off line and under wraps.
Its no fault of his own that he got it early, but yes jumping the gun and hooking it up kind of crazy.
Its all to common for large companies to just use a sledge hammer on their customers with a knee jerk reaction if things don't go as planned.

Alot of you guys seem to be mad a t Microsoft for doing this.
You have to remember that posting information about the console before launch is still not allowed by Microsoft.
It doesn't matter how they got the console early. Microsoft just sees it as someone who could potentially harm sales by leaking something that may not be ready yet.
