i have been hearing this 'french guy' story sense the first day nme 2.0 came out, it mgiht have even been during the pre-order stage. but i do not believe this is a true story, all u ever hear is that it was a french guy with no name, who didnt have a copy in the drive, well i thought that u would only get banned when they do system updates, they wouldnt just ban him right away, isnt that true? i could be wrong there, but i think the french guy story is BS. not saying ur a lier but i just dont believe it. i have an nme 2.0 and i pre-ordered it and got it installed when it arrived and played many ours online with copys and originals and no problems at all. my friend is also playing online with a ixtreme firmware update and has had no problems yet playing online with copys or originals. i will end with saying that the french guy story is the only story i have heard about peple getting banned with nme 2.0 and it was when it frist came out and havnt heard anything else about it. anyone hear different?
