Xbox One shipped early to two customers one gets banned by MS
One of the Target customers, via Engadget, posted the console on eBay stating the proceeds from the sale would go to “my corporation to create products for Special Ed students.”
The bidding got as high as $10,000 before the listing was taken down. A reason was not provided, but it’s possible Microsoft forced the issue.
On Twitter, the other Target customer, Moonlightswami, linked to a YouTube video he posted, showing his Xbox One being unboxed. It was soon taken down by YouTube due to a copyright claim from Microsoft.
Said user stated the Day One patch for Xbox One was around 500MB and said some of the games already available to download from the Xbox Games Store such as Call of Duty: Ghosts, use up anywhere from 43GB to 31GB and some donwload only titles such as Lococycle take up 13GB of hard drive space.
We’ll have to take his word for this information, because there is no way it can be confirmed at this time. He also said Kinect works rather well, so that is a plus.
While Moonlightswami attained his Xbox One through legitimate means, Microsoft has since banned his console.
Microsoft has not issued comment on either occurrence.

I don't quite understand why Target shipped out two consoles before the release date. Whatever their reasons, I think Microsoft should have directed their claims against Target and not the customers because the manufacturer has more control about the supply of Xbox One's than a customer walking into the store and asking for one early.

It's Targets fault not theirs. Fair enough they probably shouldn't have leak info, that didn't help.

I understand in banning the console because of all the info he can leak out before the release, but the fact that it wasnt his fault that he had it in the first place means the company that shipped it to him should get him another one

I've read this article on several different sites now and I believe it's completely unfair to ban his console the way they did. MS should of just banned the console until the 21st, that way the guy is still getting his console legit rather than making him lose not only his console but possibly having to buy a new one.
