Microsoft doesn’t like thieves. When Xbox Live user “Scar” came into possession of Halo 3 through less-than-legal means, MS served him with the gamer equivalent of 114 life sentences – He’s banned from Xbox Live until December 31, 9999.

Gamespot had the details of this young man’s tale of woe:

“A friend said he got the [Halo 3] Epsilon from a friend and offered me to glitch it onto my account with what you call the two-controller exploit. I downloaded it from Marketplace and played it for maybe six hours or so all alone, in custom games and campaign. [Then] it would kick me offline every time I tried to play Epsilon. It wasn’t until the next day when I signed on that I found out I got banned.”

Scar is a 17-year-old who calls himself an “achievement whore” and boasts (ahem, boasted) a Gamerscore higher than 61,000. According to him, there are “at least 10 others that downloaded it and got banned till 9999”

So what have we learned today, class? That Microsoft overreacts in the most hilarious ways. Better luck in a few millenniums, Scar.
