A NeoGaf user who was sent his Xbox One two weeks early by Target was able to go online and get a 500 MB patch file, browse the Xbox One online store and then promptly found his console banned from all online services.
"Last night, social media was ablaze with pictures and video of one user’s early Xbox One. The item was reportedly shipped early from Target by accident.
The user, who goes by “MoonlightSwami” on Twitter shared the following picture as proof that the console is in-hand. He also posted a number of Gamerpic images, a picture of the power brick (which he claims was not warm at all after three hours), and a side-by-side of the controller against the Xbox 360’s.
He also shared the update size (500 MB) and installation sizes for a number of games. Here’s what we know so far:
Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag - 20 GB
Call of Duty: Ghosts - 39 GB
Just Dance 4 - 22 GB
Skylanders Swap Force - 15 GB*
LocoCycle - 13 GB
Dead Rising 3 - 19 GB**
FIFA 14 - 8 GB
NBA 2K14 - 43 GB
NBA Live 14 - 9 GB
Madden NFL 25 - 12 GB
*It’s unclear why Skylanders is in the Games Store, as it requires a Portal of Power to work. We’re following up with Activision.
** Labeled with “Xbox SmartGlass available”
Unfortunately, MoonlightSwami’s Xbox One is now banned."
More pre-ban pictures are available on engaget. Worth noting is that almost 24 hours later Microsoft has still not unbanned the system.
Sony has confirmed that anyone sent a PlayStation 4 early will not find themselves banned from service.
