Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One User Does Emergency Offline Update as Instructed due to Freezing Screen, Gets Banned

Looks like the funny but not so funny blues of a new hardware launch are now moving to the Xbox One, and one of the first problems seem to come from the infamous console bans by Microsoft, that happened quite often on Xbox 360 as well, and not always rightfully. 

Apparently the brand new console of YouTube user Nicholas Colzie kept freezing on loading screen, so he was instructed by a Microsoft rep to do the Emergency Offline Update via USB. The result? His console got remotely banned.

weird.. maybe it has some kind of built in auto ban feature if it somehow detects "illegal" sotware. and its somehow going haywire

wake me up if he's still banned after launch.



This can be fixed very easily. There will likely be problems, but I'm not including this in them.

Yeah it's not like he has to ship the console back. Can be fixed easily.
