I got this too, haven't bothered redeeming it. Oh shit if they give us this instead of a free game I'm going to be pissed! As much as I love Forza, I'd rather have a free game.

bryehn · Nov 6, 2013

I didn't get the pre-order cheevo because I ordered from MS Store a day before the promo started :/

Couldn't redeem mine either -- very odd.

Good on Microsoft for this! Gamers benefit when the competition is tight.

No.

Don't make sweeping statements like that. Maybe only the people you know.

SEGAvangelist · Nov 6, 2013

Hopefully they release some type of news story on Xbox Wire explaining who qualifies for this. Also, I wonder if people who get it can upgrade for $20.

zroid · Nov 6, 2013

congrats op, that's pretty sweet

Damn, I've been on XBL since it started. Nothing for me!

Good on them giving it to some people though. Can't wait to play the game.

They could be batching the emails.

BruiserBear · Nov 6, 2013

It would garner a lot of good will if they just did this for anyone who boots up an Xbox One the week or two after launch. If Sony can give away Resogun and Contrast, Microsoft can give away the $20 version of KI.

wrog · Nov 6, 2013

Got one too (150k Gamerscore, Gold for 9 years). Probably will give my code to someone else, I don't like fighting games.

iJudged · Nov 6, 2013

I better Fucking get it been 10 years gold.

ZROCOOL · Nov 6, 2013

10 years and nothing.

Nor did I, still got the email, so that can't be a req.

Gaz Pwnage · Nov 6, 2013

Anybody with < 100k Gamerscore got the email?

BloodMoney · Nov 6, 2013

damn, thats pretty sweet.
KI looks like a sweet game.
love the particle effects.

CrunchinJelly · Nov 6, 2013

Sounds like it is the Combo Breaker Pack, which is worth $20.

Now where is my e-mail...

oVerde · Nov 6, 2013

omg omg omg omg *searching like crazy all my inboxes*

Ubersnug · Nov 6, 2013

10 years here and over 80K gamerscore and no email

Surely this can't be random?

devon the dude · Nov 6, 2013

Got this email this morning as well, had no intention of playing KI but now will give it a go. Gold member for 9 yrs, and over 100k gamerscore

yankeehater · Nov 6, 2013

Damn this is awesome. I have had live since the day Halo 2 came out. Hopefully I will get this for free as well.

Kydd BlaZe · Nov 6, 2013

Just got the email as well. Been an XBL Gold member for 7 years, over 100,000 gamerscore, and the highest tier of rewards. Not really sure which of those qualifies me but I'll take a free game for sure!

mullet2000 · Nov 6, 2013

I just got this email too. My first thought was "wait isn't this Free to Play" but then I realized I get all characters. Pretty nice for when I eventually get an Xbox One!

def sim · Nov 6, 2013

amazon wants me to review this mouse i bought

ho hum inbox

Alucrid · Nov 6, 2013

I got one too. My gold lapsed last month and I sold my 360.

zroid · Nov 6, 2013

edit: ah never mind

derFeef · Nov 6, 2013

The next smart move, MS gonna MS

None for me despite being a long-term Live subscriber. No Xbox One preorder achievement thing though so maybe that's the reason. Nice gesture by them to combat the free PS+ games.

I guess you have to pre-order it from the Microsoft store...

How much gamerscore did u have?

Jezehbell · Nov 6, 2013

Anyone from France got the mail ?

I checked Xbox Live Rewards and my status is "Legend" (it is the best ?)

Darksol · Nov 6, 2013

This is legitimately a nice move on Microsoft's part, although I do have to wonder how sales are doing for them to be acting all charitable.

Retro_ · Nov 6, 2013

So is this a code or is it tied to your account?

Basically what I'm asking is that will this be there if you get an Xbox One 1-2 years from now or does it have an expiration date?

I'm assuming the latter as it's most certainly an attempt to promotion for their new console

BeEatNU · Nov 6, 2013

My account is in silver status now lol
Looks like I'm NOT getting this.

sith ewok · Nov 6, 2013

I got the e-mail as well. Psyched as I was already going to pick it up, so it saves me a little cash.

8 years live member, 140k Gamerscore, No xbox one preorder achievement as I preordered mine in store.

zainetor · Nov 6, 2013

Game content like story, training etc. Is always free.

Alaskanbullworm · Nov 6, 2013

I haven't gotten an email yet, but I've noticed I get mine later in the day when they send out these emails

I really hope I get one, this was going to be my first digital purchase when I get it the Xbox One on the 22nd

And could some of you guys stop trying to spin this as a negative?

jbug617 · Nov 6, 2013

I would like a code also MS.

Palette Swap · Nov 6, 2013

Got the email but since you'll apparently receive the code on your Xbox One inbox, I doubt I'll actually receive the code before it expires.

Alucrid · Nov 6, 2013

Gaz Pwnage said:

140k?

Neuromancer · Nov 6, 2013

I got one too.

Well that'll be cool if I ever get an Xbox One some day.

Edit: I have 125K roughly

Miles Quaritch · Nov 6, 2013

Got the email. I don't have the X1 pre-ordered though and my Gold is due to lapse soon too...

email header is your gamertag followed by how about a free game as a thank you?

T&C...

Free gift code valid only for the authorized account holder of the gamertag this email is addressed to, and is nontransferable and not redeemable for cash. Limit: 1 per gamertag.

So far the trend is if you have over 100K you get the email. Waiting for somebody to post otherwise.

I haven't heard of anyone who dislikes it. Which is pretty suprising considering it has been playable at every single major event. If the game played like shit, we would know it by now.

Ubersnug · Nov 6, 2013

So, is it only our American friends who have received this email so far?

Speedy Blue Dude · Nov 6, 2013

Alucrid said:

I'll take it. ;D

Assuming I don't get one... So anyone mind sharing what the Email Subject Line is?

Gaz Pwnage · Nov 6, 2013

No. UK Here.

I checked twitter and looks like some UK people got the email also

Dantis · Nov 6, 2013

Just got one too. UK user. Lots of GamerScore.

No XO preordered, and no Gold.

Good question.. I got it and I have over 1200 games played and at about 226k GS.

Another person I work with got the email and he is at like 157k .

zebwinz · Nov 6, 2013

Got the Killer Instinct email, my gamerscore is like 110k.

Looks like some lucky people are getting a free Xbox One!
