Microsoft accepts Xbox banning system blip, offers up freebies
Due to an internal software error Microsoft has had to admit that some Xbox Live users have been banned unfairly within the last few weeks, with users being banned just like those who intentionally modify their gaming consoles for Xbox Live. The users, who have now had their accounts re-instated or are in the process of, will be reimbursed by Microsoft with a hearty 1600 Microsoft points and free access to Xbox Live Gold Membership for the next 3 months. On the software error Stephen Toulouse, the head of the Policy and Enforcement team of XBox Live said; “It was brought to our attention that a number of customers had concerns about the validity of a recent ban of their individual consoles” and further added “After an initial investigation we have confirmed that a handful of banned consoles did in-fact appear to not have been modified or tampered with”.
Now I don’t know about everybody else who has an Xbox, but i’d love for MS to come down and ban me for a free Xbox live membership. Of course, the 1600 points aren’t a bad bonus either.
