Unless you want to see this then don't. You will be banned.
How can they ban for it? Nobody will.
It happened with AC2, Fifa 10 and GoW3. Besides, even if they don't ban, it's microsoft. They WILL find someway to make people who took advantage of this mishap regret it.

Yeah!!! Stealing!!!! I'm gonna laugh when you get banned from XBL.

Is it really stealing when it's priced at free?


Yes. Considering you're exploiting something that obviously wasn't supposed to happen.
Define obvious.

This isn't theft, not in the least. Think about it: this is THE official channel from which to buy these maps from MS/343i, and it is telling you -- without any kind of abuse, trickery, or other shady behavior on your part -- that the product can be had for no cost. Assuming that's an error, how can anyone be to blame but those who maintain the XBL Marketplace? You've quite literally done nothing wrong in obtaining the opportunity to get the maps free, they were offered to you that way.

How anyone can chalk this up as wrongdoing on the part of users is beyond me. As MS' Twitter rep clearly states, this is squarely on them.

In that case, it's safe to assume microsoft is going to pay back the LE and season pass owners somehow.

No it isn't, that business is done. Why would they? Those people got what they paid for. Now, what they paid for may have been over-priced, and/or may have subsequently dropped in price, but that doesn't mean they'll get a refund.

Think about the flip-side. How would they handle this?

Dear XBL Users:

The other day, well, we dun goof'd. We put up a product that we meant to charge $10 for, for free. Lots of you "bought" it.

Well, tough cookies! Despite the fact that you bought OUR product from OUR marketplace at the price that WE put up in OUR marketplace, we've decided that price was wrong. So we're retroactively changing it, and we're taking away what you bought from us at our price. You shouldn't have done that. Bad user.

Feel free to buy it again from the same marketplace at our new, higher price.

Love,

XBL


Can you imagine the headlines?
