So if i get DOA5 early tomorrow? Can you get banned from Xbox live for playing a game early? If so, do you just not log into xbox live to prevent it?

I've been playing the game ever since 10 am while logged online and so far so good. I haven't been banned yet.

I thought the story was a bit boring except for specific cutscenes. It's basically 1-2 minutes of cutscenes and 1 round of fighting back and forth for about 3 hours. However, it was the only way to unlock all the other characters except alpha 152 and pai and get specific titles.
I had a great time with Training mode so far. Lots of settings you can mess around with.
Tried to find someone playing online mode to test out the latency, but no luck after waiting about 30 min.

You should call them just to make sure before taking the trip there. It's a nice and safe area while I was driving around.

I finally was able to play my first match against under x000. Every game but the 2nd was good. I say it was about 4 bars with 5 bars being the max in the game. I didn't know that during training mode you could get random invites from players. An icon on the corner right will appear and you must press the "select" button to play your match before it disappears.

From early impressions, it's a more balanced game so far and spamming counters is not effective and deadly as it was in DOA 4, so yes. It's also very risky and can be easily baited out.

I do however want to say that I just played my 2nd online match and it was very laggy and unplayable. I tried spamming PPPK, PPPP and other combinations to test out how bad the connection was and only two button inputs came out during the process. Looking at the player's profile, hes from the US.

I remember a couple of years back before Forza 3 came out (sorry for the digression) a LOT of people were console banned because they played the game before it came out.

They were playing pirated copies. MS has said multiple times that playing a game early will not get you banned. There is nothing against the TOS about playing a game early.

When I was there at 10:00 in the morning, there were about 6 copies for the xbox 360 left and 3 copies for the ps3. They said though that they will getting more shipments on friday.

On rank mode you start as an F, I got to F+ by winning all 3 of my matches however they were against F players as well. Not sure yet if you advance faster if you play players with better grades.

Ahh thanks for the clarification. I wasn't sure because of how people bend their stories.
