    Can I get banned for playing Japanese games?

    You shouldn't be banned for playing an international game. As long as your console isn't modded in any way shape or form to play that game, you should be fine.

    The warning on the game means that it is not for sale anywhere but Japan. Several games are released exclusively for certain regional locations.

  3. Can I get banned for playing Japanese games?

    I was playing Black Label on my Japanese console and while it was loading,it says 'only to be played in Japan not for export ect,,if played outside of Japan you will be prosicuted for copyright infringement.

    Can i get banned for playing this even though it's a legit game?

    No you will not get banned as long as it's a legit copy of the game.

    Technically you can :

    Don’t pirate or use another's content without permission. For example, don't:

    • Share content more broadly than you're allowed to share
    • Use another's intellectual property without permission (e.g., copyrights, trade secrets)
    • Play any illegitimately obtained software or pirated games
    • Play a game before it has been authorized for play on the service
    That being said I've never known anyone to be banned for playing a legit copy of a game early.

    games are given out early for reviewers and such, all the time. if the store has a copy of the game, i would think that is considered already "authorized for play on this service". the only times i have heard of people being banned for playing something
    early was when some people got pirated copies of a Halo game, about two and a half months before release. many game stores get games early on Friday or Saturday, when the game is officially released for sale on Tuesday. i have heard of people that work at
    the stores playing online early, when the only other people playing are mostly developers and reviewers. so in most cases, if you have a real copy of a game that you paid for, and just happened to have it ship to you early, then there should be no problems
    with that.

    Review copies are slightly different & are given out by developers to game reviewers.

    " Authorised to play on this service" means the release date,not when a store get's their copies in.
