It apparently works. Not sure about the risk of the ban hammer though so obviously go ahead at your own risk.

Got about 17+ for 'free' the last few weeks!
Nice
I've only got a little 20gb HDD so i can only get a couple, but at least that couple is Dragon's Lair, Flashback and Injustice.
If any more pop up then i'll have to get a bigger boat .. err .. i mean hard drive
The main problem with doing this is you have to keep the fake account on the Xbox in case you need to redownload the game again which I can't be bothered with doing things like that.
I doubt i'll last long with Injustice either - I'm rubbish with beat-em-ups.
I did read that a few months ago, you could have got Assassin's Creed 3 and the Angry Birds Trilogy with the same glitch - would have been nice!
Console AND Account bans.
Hope you enjoy your free games - because you wont be able to play the games you paid for. haha.
True, but i don't see how it's wrong what they are doing, if Microsoft have a problem with this then why don't they just make the same deals available for everyone ?
No need to be a prick about it.
Unlucky for those that were banned, console ban too.
Just reading some more, seemingly it was posted nearly everywhere, I missed it luckily. I wonder how many people will jump to Sony now so close to the next console.
I have no idea why people are so insistent on breaking rules.
They didn't have much of a choice, the games once downloaded free were on that tag and console forever with no way whatsoever for MS to remove them. So MS decided it was best to ban both. Seeing the amount of forums this has been on surely the bans ran into the tens of thousands. That is an awful lot of pissed off customers you are hoping join you in the next gen.
Microsoft offer free accounts, people signed up to a free account and then download content that was offered for free on those accounts.
I think there were glitches in some regions and games ended up being free if you had an account for that region. So people set up accounts for that region and got the free glitch. Quite a few games too.
EDIT: just reading back on this thread some are saying it was a deal for that region, surely Injustice wasn't being given away for free was it?
What really gets me is that he doesn't think that he stole the games. He created accounts from other regions, stating that he was living in these countries, so he could help himself to the freebies offered in these regions. If he was entitled to them then they would be available to him via his uk account and if he feels hard done by he should move to aman or morocco etc
They have no option as the free game is on that console forever so its the only punishment they can give out. Although its very harsh. But banning somebody's Gamertag (not the one used to download) is poor from MS. That tag wasn't used to download the game, and it isn't in any way tied to the game. So if your family shared the xbox all tags would be banned.
I do agree that the ban is too much, plus it harms them for future custom. Maybe giving the person the option to -
a) Delete the game if you have not played it yet
b) Just delete the game of the suspected accounts
c) If they have played the game then offer them the chance to pay for it or ban there gamertag but not there console. Let them buy a new xbox live account if they want.
But how would this stop them playing the game on the console they downloaded it on as they have already downloaded and unlocked it.
Glad i forgot now, looks like i dodged a bullet.
I do think this punishment is a little bit harsh.
