My account was banned for playing the Ghostbusters SOS from getting it the free way a lot of you did.
How do you know this for sure?
I mean since they aren't releasing public statements.....
I'm not saying you didn't get banned for it, but I know of others who did the same thing and were not banned.

The only other thing it could be is me transferring my DLC and account from my other 360 and couldn't transfer the licenses and that was all Mass Effect 2 DLC. I spent hours on the phone with EA and they have all the records of me buying them. Because they could get it to work on my new system so they sent me codes and also for my time wasted Crysis 2 Limited edition.
I bet it's that. Because A LOT of people worldwide did the Ghostbusters SOS and Plants Vs Zombies glitch to get them for free. That was MS' mistake, people shouldn't get penalized for it.
One of my friends that lives down the street from me got the permanent suspension for transferring all his games/DLC to a different xbox and not transferring his licenses. They said he stole everything and won't rescind the ban even though he legally owned everything.
So for everyone getting the Gears console, transfer all your licenses BEFORE you play anything.

Yea. You can do it from xbox.com or call them. I called them when I got my old xbox, that way there's a record of it.

Whatever. I have licenses on 4 different consoles. My tag has been registered to 5 of them. I only ever did one license transfer and the console that has the bulk of my licenses isn't even in our house anymore. Melissa has never done a license transfer, and she's on her 3rd or 4th console.
You can only do 1 license transfer per user, per year. Too many people have owned too many Xboxes for Microsoft to do this. It would be terrible business practice because it would deter people from buying multiple consoles.
This thread is just full of absolute speculation.

I heard anyone named Ashley gets permabanned just 'cause.
But that's good to hear though, hopefully you get your profile back.
