Just make a dummy account, Play on that offline to see how the game is. IF you are that scared and don't want to get banned.

I'm 100% sure you won't get banned, and anyways if you do, just contact micrsoft about it saying that it was sold to you legally.

Unless you want to give it to me for a test run:D

Thats funny. You have it but don't know if you should play. The Game of the year is in your grasp yet you can't play it!! That must be annoying. Well if you do try it out tell us how great it is.

Reviewers are currently playing the retail disc and I'm pretty sure none of them had to have their accounts added to some "please don't ban me" filter. Ours definitely didn't. So I wouldn't worry about it.

Wow, they released it 10 days early. Makes me wish I hadn't preordered.

Just don't sign into your gamertag when you turn on your 360 and you can't get banned.

You won't get banned, MS can't ban you because of Kmart's mistakes (which are apparently many)

I don't think you'll get banned. Is there multiplayer online or something?

There right, you wont get banned. Although Mass Effect is the only game this month with an actual street date. They can't do anything about another companies mistake. You bought it fair and square... It's not like your money didnt go to the devs and microsoft anyhow.

As for people getting banned on Halo 3, they werent. It was the people hacking in the Beta that got the ban. Microsoft couldnt do anything about retailers selling the game early.

You won't get banned. Only reason the Halo guy got banned is because NO ONE was supposed to have the game at all. And, he had an illegal copy or something if I remember correctly. It was something to that effect. Anyway, you're good to go. Have fun playing it.

Nah, you wont get banned.

There's a topic about this at the bioware mass effect forums. The devs say it was sold early, even though there was a DONT SELL BEFORE 11/20 sticker. But it was a legal sale, so no ban hammer is coming.

It wasnt by chance in Springfield, VA was it?

Oh, and lucky bum!
