When contacted by Pro-G a Microsoft rep confirmed rumours that gamers who play Halo 3 early will have their LIVE accounts banned. Simply not connecting to the internet doesn't appear to be a solution either. The rep also confirmed that Microsoft is able to ban accounts based on information collected by the console which shows when the game was played. This news is sure to come as a shock to some gamers who have already started playing the final chapter in the blockbuster Halo trilogy.

Note: Let's wait for an official answer from MS about this ... would be really strange that MS assumes all their end-users must be aware of the official release date of their games and would punish them because some shops sell games early. If true ... MS will get some real bad PR again in the next few days.
