You are 100% safe to play the game early! As long as the means of getting the game were legal. Its not illegal to buy the game early, its illegal to sell it early.

I wouldn't place too much faith in this if I were you.  Admittedly microsoft won't care unless you're playng a pirate copy on a flashed xbox but EA/Bioware might.  Genuine but early releases of Borderland have recently resulted in banning of player profiles. 

In short pirated games = chance of banned live access for xbox
Genuine early release games = chance of banned gamer profile.  - it's still illegal before release date as the only way you could have a copy is if someone broke the T&C's of the sales contract... or if it was just stolen from a warehouse. 

You could just unplug your internet and reconnnect when it's out.

MS have stated several times that they wont ban legitimate players who get a game early. Most likely those that got banned where pirates.

[Phil119]

maybe, but as far as I know that relates to console bans. Borderlands was the first time I'm aware of that they actually banned gamer profiles. I think the safe answer would just be to play it offiline for now. At the end of the day I guess no one but MS and the Devs really know what the rules are or how you distinguish between legit gamers and those who aren't legit. Anyway, seems like people have been playing a while with no bans so I guess it;s a mute point. Just hope my copy comes soon too!

My computer is going to burst into flames after I finish installing the game on the third. That will be my luck, I just know it.

LOL. That almost happened to me with ARMA2.  Right after moving a couple months ago I noticed that all of a sudden ARMA2 had developed some graphical glitches, and my FPS had deteriorated.  I thought of everything that could possibly have gone wrong in a move, and I was thinking maybe something had just loosened up or my HDD had gotten bounced too hard maybe.  So I opened up my case and low-and-behold somehow the power cable on my CPU fan had gotten caught on one of the fan blades  I sorted it out and luckily everything went back to normal.  No permanant damage... Very lucky

So a long story short, and a lesson learned... I highly recommend a "walk around" inspection of your PC from time to time or just may very well catch on fire!

Those players banned were playing a pirated version of Borderlands. He can put all the faith in the world in what i have said. Has he been banned yet? No. Will he? No. They will not, and i mean absolutely will not ban you for buying/playing the game early. Did player X sign anything saying they wont play it early? No.

If you were correct, why wouldnt they have banned all the people who had Halo ODST early? There was about 5,000 people who had early copppies. Yet, they repeatedly say " We will not ban people who played it early, only pirated versions". As you said, thats Microsoft.

What can Bioware do to a person who gets the game early? Not alot legally. Since Person X has never signed or agree'd to any legal terms.. There's not much they can do. If there was no contract for "Do not sell before X day", Then even the store is in its rights. That little sticker that says Do not sell before X day is more of a recommendation. It would be a waste of time and money for Bioware and/or EA to even go after anyone for doing this, Unless they signed a contract with stores for the release date. In which case only the stores would be in trouble. What I said about buying things early is 100%  accurate.

Forgot to say. Bioware and/or EA probably doesn't even care if 10-50 people get the game early(No, im not talking for Bioware, just speculating). If the game was bought legally, Aren't they still getting their money? Lets say Wal-Mart sells it early, Well everyone will that area will rush into that store and buy it up. Poor little Game-Stop loses all its business. My point is, the Street date is more or less for fairness among game sellers.

Plus, They guy posted on their website asking if it was ok to play early. Have any of the Devs said no? Could Xbox ban him? Sure, they would if he they felt it obtained it unlawfully.

I wish there was a small time videogame retailer nearby. The Gamestops and Best Buys of the world never let me have any fun.

i got little big planet from gamestop 3 days before and did not have to wait an extra week because they recalled it.

Yes you get a dog.  Plus you can name it whatever you want.  Definitely a damage dealer, however, it does have special attacks like growl for debuff and dread howl for debuff/stun.

I love the dog!

[Scopitone]

I got it Friday night and got around to playing it Saturday morning (for about a ten hour long stretch).



Anyone telling you you're going to get in trouble is a damned fool. Steady on.

[kazic284]

Some character interactions are better than others. So far the one I like is the dog. Very loyal and very useful in combat.

 Thanks sadromeo1. I decided to be good and not take my game home early from work lol. Are you doing the romance option and if so, how is it so far (I know you probably aren't that far in).
