imo i think that ms has leaked forza 3 as a wave 3 game,,, and the actual version is going to be a wave 4... because that is really the only way i could see them distinguishing the pirates from the legit.... because all games should be wave 4 by this time... and why wouldnt they be... its just another thorn in a modders side

I heard on a recent podcast, that MS head Live policing dude, can tell a pirate copy from a legit one, once its connected to Live. How they do it, I don't know.

Be careful with that ban hammer, MS. A receipt is nice, but few of us ever keep them for games we buy, especially import games.

they check the verication file's witin the imiagine, there not all the same also rumor has ms leaked copy's of game's to catch people last year. the an ini file on the disk whichhold verifaction data besure to check that your back up are verified as a 141 of the retail version... there loads that are not... put agbx360 in google free tools and checker for download if youwant to be safe.

1) MS can tell the copy difference if the copy is messed up only. There are ways for them not to see the difference.

MS HAS BANNED LEGIT COPIES for playing early!!!! They claim to know who breaks street release dates but have no way to know all of them. If you get a legal game early, do NOT play it online until atleast waiting 1 day before release or you run the chance of being banned.

All I got to say is catch me if you can. Having an account reset cost about $60. If I play 2 burnt early release games, not only have I saved money but I also play a lot of games a week before they come out. Until they make games more reasonably priced, they can expect a large group of pirates to keep on doing what they are doing.
