Signing into my Xbox live when I get the game early?

just to clear a few things up, no you won't get banned for playing it 2 or 3 days early and if you was to go online with it there would actually be thousands of players playing it due to flashed xbox's and the game being leaked on the net 2 or 3 days before release.

 

People got banned for playing halo 4 early because it was leaked 4 weeks early and people actually went on matchmaking 4 weeks before release thinking they'd get away with it.

 

thirdly it doesn't matter if you get it early anyway as gta online is 2 weeks after release, so really all you would be doing is showing off to your friends list that you have the game.

I got Madden pretty damn early, no biggie but I couldn't go online on Madden. Would be smart as a precaution since GTA doesn't have online yet.

Considering GTA Online won't be available at launch, there isn't much reason to be online anyways, my friend said that people CAN be banned for it, so be offline just to be safe. When the game comes out, your achievements should transfer over.

I'm assuming all the people saying don't do it have never played a game early. I've been playing games early for 2 years in october. No ban #win

They won't do anything as long as it's not pirated dude, not to mention I don't see why you would sign in unless you just wanna "show off" to your list that you got the game earlier.

I think if you get an early legal copy the issue lies with the retailer and not yourself.

This. Rockstar isnt dumb, and they know early copies are going to get to people. They are trying to minimize it, but I doubt they will have your account banned from XBLive because a retailer gave you a copy early.

If you have an original copy I think you should be fine. Rockstar cant go "oh you bought an original copy but didnt wait till 17th! It's your fault!" on you. So yeah sign in. Plus if something bad happens you can sue them which is fun, watch judge judy.
