One thing I hate, just about Xbox in general, but in relation to this, is that you have to have a CC to buy things off the website. So annoying, especially if I'm at work or school and would like to go ahead and add it to my que. I remember when it wasn't like that, and it was great.

XBL: Games with Gold
- Thread starter maomaoIYP
- Start date
Hrm.
I know a lot of people really want newer and more popular titles, but meh from me. I wouldn't mind older titles from neglected genres.
Tropico 3 or 4 please.

Just get one of those visa cards that you can pre-load and reload.
X1 doesn't require a visa, strangely.
Has anyone gotten those things to work? When I tried before I would always get an error,

Yeah, it was bad enough they transitioned from points and are making your banked ones expire. It's really irritating.
What about how you have to have multiple email addresses in order to log in to Xbox Live? I get this prompt almost every time I sign in to XBL saying that it'll make my account "more secure" but I always say no to this. How can I get rid of this? I literally only have like 2 email addresses and Microsoft already knows both of them!

Isn't that for the 2-factor authentication stuff? There's been a big push by a lot of other tech companies for that type of thing, since, well, it generally is considered more secure. Though I don't think you have to make a new address, if you already have two of them on your MS account.
I wonder if you can go to http://billing.microsoft.com and set that up through there instead to keep it from nagging you on the Xbox.
You only need to do it once, and it won't bother you again.
Remove one of your email accounts from your Microsoft account, maybe. Then follow the instructions on the Xbox 360 when they pop up exactly. If you don't want to do that, just make a quick gmail account (super easy. If you create one through youtube, you don't even need to give a phone number). Then just use that one.
Shouldn't bother you again after that.

There is no way I'll have randomly guessed two correctly.

Yeah...I would prefer State Of Decay over Hitman though.
I already have my Microsoft email address on there AND my Gmail address. It still asks me to provide them with yet another email address. And if I can't do that, then I should provide my phone number via text or phone call. I don't want to do that. I just want Microsoft to stop harassing me about it.
Just make a throwaway gmail account to secure your account and never use it again,

State of Decay still has Dlc to release so I doubt they make it free until after.
It will probably be free the next full month after the DLC releases.

Hell yeah, Hitman. I dont think I would be able to play through SR2's graphics.
How do I know this isn't an April fools?
April 1st is a tricky day...
Yep, Saints Row 2 was awesome and one of my favs.
I guess I could do that. The logistics behind it all is just so baffling to me though. You need an account that ISN'T a Microsoft account in order to make your Xbox Live account more secure? Doesn't that sound counter-productive on Microsoft's part?

My save file corrupted right before the final mission on Hitman then I sold my copy.
I might play through it again on easy just to actually finish the game.

Corrupted for me about three missions before that.

I bought the 250 GB Halo 4/Tomb Raider bundle for $250. Inside were two vouchers for one month free of Xbox Live Gold. My two months expires on May 3rd and when it does I will have 4 free games. The first 3 are good games and I don't yet know what the 4th one will be.
I am liking Game with Gold. I can't remember that last PS+ game I actually wanted to play and if I drop PS+, I have nothing to show for my two years of subscribing.

What are the three games you got from Games with Gold? You seriously haven't wanted to play anything from Plus?

Thats what I really like about GwG a lot more than PS+, keeping the games forever.

That's the aspect from GWG that I really like, you get to keep your games even if your subscription expires. That said Iron Brigade is the only game so far that I didn't already own and have actually played once it became free.
My opinion:
Content wise PS+ is the better platform but GWG has the better and more consumer friendly policies.
No Hitman then?

We dont know which rumors he is talking about.
Worthplaying will announce the game later today they said in another tweet.

Did they say what time they would announce the other game ?
While I agree that it's better to own a game forever rather than rent it, a game I actually want to own forever I will buy. For stuff like the games on psplus and gwg, id rather have the best games available to play and forget about.
Psplus games have been objectively better I think. I would trade the ability to own shittier games for playing better games.
How is it? Only ever played 2.

Worthplaying have just confirmed the first game IS Hitman Absolution.
So they were clearly talking about 'other' rumours.

Hitman Absolution would be great. I bought Hitman: Blood Money on Steam a couple days ago and it's really fun.

Excellent. That's a pretty good game for GwG. The best one so far I would say

Hitman: Absolution?
Weak game. Should have been Blood Money.
