For those of you using multiple Xbox Live accounts, ones registered outside of your native country, you might see said account on the banning block soon.
Why? According to fansite Xboxic, Microsoft is cracking down on folks who have circumvented the Xbox 360 region lockout to take advantage of content available in different locales.
Why now? While licensing deals for demos and Xbox Live Arcade titles might not draw heat, the recent push by MS to sell television programming and films certainly does and enjoying content not specified for your region is a bad, bad thing.
Xboxic does not have confirmation of any accounts being banned, yet, but don't act surprised when your Japanese Live account doesn't work in a few weeks. Let us know if you get banned. And good luck!
