CoD: Black Ops Rezurrection Pack to blame for XBL bans? |
Listed in: News, Xbox Live Tags: Activision, cod: black ops, Microsoft
So, remember when Microsoft went on a banning spree over at the Xbox Live last week? They were pretty much secretive about the whole "Marketplace Theft" issue.
Apparently, though, it appears that one particular DLC is the root cause of all this drama. As reports would have it, a glitch present in the Rezurrection DLC Pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops is the one causing all the trouble for the gamers. What happens is that the glitch flags their Xbox 360 units as being stolen. The consequence for this is that the XBL account attached to the unit thereby gets banned.
The glitch seems to be pretty random, and so it doesn't really matter whether or not your unit is indeed stolen. Those banned were only so unfortunate as to download the game's add-on, and thereby is burdened with the banning consequence.
To make things more frustrating, Microsoft apparently wants to keep things under wraps until they are able to figure out a way to deal with the issue. This is rather surprising considering how swiftly and transparently they dealt with the previous security issue on their system.
I just hope that this media blackout won't be for too long because really, the consumers are obviously on the losing end of this whole brouhaha. Meanwhile, if this be true, Activision should say something about the matter as well.
The CoD: Black Ops Rezurrection Pack came out for both the XBL and PSN back in late August. The bannings commenced shortly after that, just last week, for XBL subscribers.

if this happen to one dlc pack item than it might had happen to others as well.
and for anybody who got banned all the stuff that you guys paid money for well kiss it all good bye microsoft will tell you that once your banned you will never be unbanned meaning that all the money you wasted on the dlc stuff and more if you want it back they will tell you to make a new account and paid all your hard earned money again.
so all the people who paid hundreds of hundreds of dollars on xbla stuff you have to buy it again.
they don't care if you did nothing wrong and is a honest buyer once you are banned all the stuff you paid for will be for nothing and it will be like giving microsoft free hard earned money from the bottom of your heart.
that is why the next xbox 360 i get will be pre-jtag so i don't have to worry about trowing away my hard earned money for a company who takes the stuff you paid for even if you did nothing wrong to begin with.
