Microsoft suck, Sony would never make such statements and retract them afterwards.

Has anyone other than this one website actually been told this?

As someone said earlier it sounds like something that was either made up, a mistake, or not from an official MS source (an uncredited/unofficial "MS source" could be anyone from the guy employed at the call center to assist in returns, up).

Hi
 
"A MS source has just told me that Halo 3 will not have any downloadable content because of a bug in the game which cannot be rectified with a update."


See how easy it is? Wait I can go one better...

"Update
Another MS source has just told me this is not true and that this only effected review copies of the game. Retail copies will be fine."

Now imagine if I owned a gaming website that was dipping in traffic and put this on there. lol
 
On another note I've just recieved a Halo 3 specific e-mail to say that the retailer I placed my order at is now going to charge my card because they are ready to ship it out!

Wouldnt happen to be the same one I got just now?

To make sure that we get this title to everyone who ordered it for release day we have had to start our picking and packing process a little earlier than we would for our normal pre-orders. As a result, we may look to authorise your credit/debit card from today – we still won't take the funds from your account until we despatch your order next week.

MS have backtracked on the banning statement now:

Microsoft has backtracked on its original threat to ban the LIVE accounts of gamers who have purchased Halo 3 early following high street retailer ***** admin error.
Earlier today, a Microsoft rep told Pro-G that gamers who played Halo 3 early would have their LIVE accounts banned. The rep also confirmed that Microsoft was able to ban accounts based on information collected by the console which showed when the game was played.
However, Pro-G has since been contacted by another MS rep, who said the ban only applies to Microsoft employees.
What this means for those of you lucky enough to have taken advantage of the ***** error is that you can start playing the game, if you already weren't, free from retribution.
A full statement from Microsoft on the Halo 3 banning scandal is expected soon.

Infact the official press release from MS:

"We can confirm that Microsoft is not taking any action (such as banning Xbox Live accounts) against gamers who are playing Halo 3 before the official street date. Any rumours or speculation to the contrary are false,"

To me that sounds like MS is saying they never told anyone about banning. Maybe a loan MS employee wanted some attention :p
 
Exactly, MS never said anything. Some crappy website claimed MS had announced people would be banned, said website then backtracked because MS probably kicked them in the arse.

As far as I know the whole story originated at pro-g? I'd never heard of that site till yesterday.
