A chap on this forum thread’s been banned by Sony from playing on PSN after he was caught playing GTA IV before release.
He won’t be able to play online for a week, apparently.
He wasn’t playing a pirated version, he reckons, and instead bought the game from a shop.
“I got it from a store called Futurzone in Rotterdam, the Netherlands,” he said. “If I turn my PS3 on it wont let me log in. They send a email to me with the ban crap.”
This does appear to be an isolated incident, and many have been spotted playing the game online before the title hits at midnight tonight.

It’s not always good to be first.

It’s a little strange for them to do it at all though. As far as I’m aware it’s currently impossible to play pirated games on a PS3, so that couldn’t have been an issue.

So on what grounds could they actually enforce the ban if true? What has the guy done wrong? Nothing - the retailer yes maybe, but the punter? Feck All.
