What kind of "kit"? (Score: 1)

Additionally, Microsoft has taken matters in to its own hands, removing access to their consoles entirely. Microsoft permanently disabled their Xbox LIVE accounts (as well as other suspected accounts present on their Xbox One kits) and temporarily blocked all of their Xbox One privileges - meaning that for a period of time which Microsoft decides on depending on the severity of the offense, their Xbox One is entirely unusable.
If this was a retail unit then it is an overreach. But if "kit" refers to a dev/debug kit, then I can see how an NDA violation would get their access cut.

I don't know. If its a retail unit, its both awesome, hilarious, and perfectly within Microsoft's reach to do that. They broke a Microsoft rule, well, then Microsoft revoked their access to their software. Go ahead and sue. You're both at fault. Microsoft might wave the cost of purchasing a xbox one, but hold you accountable for their professional attourney infated losses.
