15 Gamers Who Were Banned For Absolutely Ridiculous Reasons

Buying a banned 360? That’s a paddling. – Microsoft

Part of their proactive involvement in maintaining the Xbox Live community, Microsoft occasionally sweeps their system for bad factors like cheaters and pirates, and would go as far as to lock out that hardware for access to Xbox Live at all. But should little Timmy save up his allowance and go grab that same Xbox 360 the big bad pirate dumped off at GameStop for $10, Timmy will quickly find that though he did nothing wrong, he’s not going to be allowed to play online with the other children. Sad pandas for Timmy, according to official Microsoft policy.
