As the title suggests I think I've gone and shoot myself in the foot.
I've downloaded the Batman: Arkham Asylum rip from the interwebs. Now normally as a rule I run it though abgx and I don't play it until it's released however it passed abgx and I REALLY wanted to play it (I've actually got it on pre-order for the PS3 but I NEEDED IT NOW DAMN IT!)
Normally in these circumstances I unplug the ethernet unplug the power lead wait 5 mins then pug the power lead back in and play the game. By unplugging the power lead I reset the clock so that any saved itmes would be dated with completely the wrong date then when I plug the ethernet back in and the data goes to M$ I'm covered. However.....
in my haste to play it I forgot to unplug the powerlead AND i've found out that the dude that's ripped the game is somewhat of a tit and apparently he's an uploader at abgx and it's verifying against itself which is crap.
So now I'm screwed. The next time I connect to XBL, M$ may well find either a bad rip or if he actually did a good job at ripping a retail copy they are going to know I've been playing it WAYYYY before the street realease date.
Anybody any suggestions for what I can try to limit the danger? I'm well aware that nobody knows exactly how M$ work out who they drop the ban hammer on but the more I can limit the buckload of crap I've exposed myself to the better. I'm thinking of either: 1) connecting the 360drive up to my computer and wiping the whole thing or 2) connecting the drive up to my computer and deleting any files pertaining to Batman AA.
