PS+ / Xbox Live! Gold free games thread
I don't know if this is a gesture to garner goodwill, a mistake, or an attempt to make Live Gold worth something, but Fable 3 is currently free from the XBox Live Marketplace.

Re: (360) Fable 3 free to Gold members
As a note, you have to purchase it with Microsoft Points, not cash. It's still free, but the cash option just gives an error.

Re: (360) Fable 3 free to Gold members
Pretty sure it's not a mistake, it states that it's a Gold exclusive. Guess they're looking at taking on PSN+.

They've announced that it is to 'celebrate E3.'
In other words, to suck up to all the people they've been pissing off.

Microsoft is offering free games until Xbox One is launched. Unlike Sony, no word on them offering free games after it is launched.

Can we get the title amended to reflect an ongoing freebie? MS has said it will give away 2 games a month till XBone releases.

I read something earlier that they would be switching it to Halo 3 and Assassin's Creed 2 in July. I'll likely 'buy' them just to have them on record, although I already own both games.

As a reminder, this is the last day you can download Fable III for free.
They've also confirmed that the games for July are indeed HALO 3 and Assassin's Creed II.
Here is the press release

Re: PS+ / Xbox Live! Gold free games thread
I am altering the thread. Pray I don't alter it any further.
For the sake of completion, I made this inclusive of Playstation Plus, which has basically the same deal as the new free Gold Live giveaways. If we're keeping track of one, we'd might as well do both.

Ahhh, see how they worded that very carefully. It doesn't say you will get halo3 and ac2 in July, it says you "will receive two free Xbox 360 game downloads per month starting July 1 until Dec. 31, 2013, including popular titles “Halo 3” and “Assassin’s Creed II.”Smoove_B wrote:As a reminder, this is the last day you can download Fable III for free.

Yeah, I was wondering what happened there. Nice find -- and pretty crappy on their end.
EDIT: Here's the Micosoft Twitter message from 6/13 indicating HALO 3 and Assassin's Creed II were up first.

No, I checked earlier and it wasn't featured on the Xbox360 dashboard. Finding the game in the store, it was still listed at 800 points.

Shit I signed up for 3 months to try it out and made my money back in like 15 seconds. Gona renew for a year as soon as that expires. FYI there's a bunch of stuff that was supposed to go on sale dirt cheap today.

Capitalism tries for a delicate balance: It attempts to work things out so that everyone gets just enough stuff to keep them from getting violent and trying to take other people’s stuff.
