Morbido Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 On the dashboard there is/was a deal that if you buy a new 12 month gold subscription you get a free game. I signed up and have my gold membership, but for the life of me have no idea about how to get my game. Any ideas? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfamousVuk Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 As far as I know, they should email you a code within a month for the free game. If I'm wrong here, then sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i NatrlKilla i Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) As far as I know, they should email you a code within a month for the free game. If I'm wrong here, then sorry. It says a free game disc though, so my guess is that you enter you're name, address, and game you want after ordering, but im not 100% at that. Edit: After rereading the OP, that might not be the case. When you ordered, did you get to select the game you wanted? If not, it may be that they email you asking to choose one, and then send you it through the post.

Morbido Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 I didn't choose my game. As its sunday perhaps ill get an e-mail tomo with further details. Fingers crossed. But if anyone else has done this and knows for sure what the next step is, do tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowin Smurff Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 it takes a while for them to send out the promo item (ie a download token for your game) 4-8 weeks or something like that, perhaps longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i NatrlKilla i Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 That's right but they are silly games I wouldn't mind Fable 3, especially after playing Fable 2 recently. And even if there isn't a game you like, just choose any, and trade it in at a shop for a game you do want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foladar Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 That's right but they are silly games I wouldn't call Kinect Sports, Kinectimals, Halo Reach or Fable 3 "silly" games - but that's just me. I think the small print said you'd receive an email 1-2 weeks after subbing for your mailing address, and then the game in 8-10 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V1oL3NT Sn1PEzZ Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 i did this deal today too and didnt get to chose a game- hoping to get an email in the next couple of days With not having kinect and already haing Halo:Reach im getting Fable 3 which is good as i was thinking of buying it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branishere Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 DAMN!im just buying a spare 12 month if theres a free game at stake!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V1oL3NT Sn1PEzZ Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Do u choose between 1 extra month or a free game? because i have just recieved an email and under items bought it said 12 months+1 month free and nothing about a free game although underneath it thanked me for buying from games on demand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hug9000 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I'm an not sure, but I believe that they will send you a promotional code on your e-mail so you can redeem one of those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starstrukk X360A Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 It takes about 6-8 weeks for promo codes to be sent out to people who earned them. Just be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarcastro Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I bought a year of live that was supposed to give me The Maw with it. That was back in November, and I haven't received anything. I called MS back in December and they said they would email a code in 4 to 8 weeks. I just gave up hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnSig Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I had to wait 3 months just for some stupid avatar helmet when I bought 12 months of cheap live from the dashboard. A lot of other people on the xbox.com forums still didn't get theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starstrukk X360A Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 This is the stupidest idea EVER!. Microsoft will lose a fuckton of money, all for their unwanted clientele. Buy a year's worth of Gold and get a game that's worth about 1/4th of what you paid? If anything, they're profiting, because the idea of "buy x and get a free x" sounds appealing to consumers, regardless of what the free gift is (even if it's worth about a dollar, people will flock.) I bought my 12 months from a store. Will I still get a free game? No. It has to be done through Microsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i NatrlKilla i Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 This is one of the things that make me so fucking jealous! DAMN YOU AMERICANS AND YOUR INSANE FUCKING DEALS! It's not just American. I'm in the UK and can see the deal. I can see it on my gold account, but only because I'm about to go silver unless I renew. If you cant see it, make a silver account, and check again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanH Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I'm an not sure, but I believe that they will send you a promotional code on your e-mail so you can redeem one of those games. It's a disc game, not a code to download the game. Fable 3 and Kinectimals are too recent to even go Games On Demand. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Ignatowski Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Not sure if anyone else seen this, but I was going to go for that Free Game deal and accidentally let my Gold membership expire. Logged in tonight, and it had an offer for the free game disc and 20% off the gold membership. So I jumped on it for $47.99. Doesn't come with the extra month though. Wonder if its only for folks whose gold expires.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanilla Coke Zero Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 This is one of the things that make me so fucking jealous! DAMN YOU AMERICANS AND YOUR INSANE FUCKING DEALS! yeah, paying $60 for online sure is a "deal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillTIPPIN187 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Its dumb how accounts that have gold can't see the deal.. But i do understand why they can't as well. But my girls accounts i expiring in less than a month, and ofcourse she would love to get a year for 47 bucks and get a free game.. ofcourse, we have Reach and Kinectimals and Kinect sports already. So i guess Fable 3 would be her choice.. and if not we can sell it and make out her 1 year even cheaper. anyone know when this deal ends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
