Finally, Europeans with the misprinted disc 3 (?) can play the full game

Don't you only need the first disc for BC games?

 

[Toki767]

Finally!

Now all that's left for me is Tales of Vesperia.

 

[Theorry]

People outside Xbox Country ('MURICA), how do you download the free stuff that still requires a payment option?

Just add a paypal.

 

[Giftofgab24]

Grabbed it. I opened my lost odyssey case when it first became BC and it was completely empty. I have no idea where those discs went. This is awesome.

 

[cireza]

Lost Odyssey FREE ? Wow, great gift to all Xbox One players !

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Based MS, thank you for Lost Odyssey!

So... how are these games with the Xbone's BC? As good or better than playing on the 360?

BD seems to be better.

Same exact thing happened to me lol

Add a payment option.

This is the case in America aswell.

 

[Ruruja]

I have an unplugged 360 lying around somewhere, can I get LO for free with that or does it have to be a BC on XBO thing?

And do I have to have Gold?

 

[Dsyndrome]

Hopefully it doesn't try redownloading everything when I "purchase" it later today on the XB1S.

It'll work with that too.

 

[statham]

Free digital LO!, thanks you Santa Phil !!!

 

[R3TRODYCE]

I like free but man I wish Blue Dragon was free instead.

 

[Okami Haundo]

Absolutely incredible. I might have to find time to try out Lost Odyssey now. Can we all just take a moment to appreciate that they really didn't have to do this at all? Hot damn...

 

[The Elite]

And Burnout Paradise in a couple of days for Gold Members. Huzzah.

 

[Garlador]

EVERYONE GET LOST ODYSSEY!

I paid $60 day one for this fantastic masterpiece.

You have NO EXCUSE not going in for free. None. I don't even care about your backlog. Get it. Play it. Love it.

 

[Visualante2]

For your security please verify your e.mail address then click the e.mail we sent you then give us a credit card so you can buy this free game. Thank you for shopping with Microsoft where security is number one.

Seriously generous though. Exactly the time of year I want to sink into a game like this.

 

[Flux]

Wow free Lost Odyssey! We should all get T-shirts made.

(too bad the surprise was spoiled a bit earlier)

Very nice gesture regardless.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

So... how are these games with the Xbone's BC? As good or better than playing on the 360?

Best way to play, easily. Virtually locked 30fps, no screen tearing, fastest loading.

 

[GHG]

I just need the PGR games now and my life is complete.

 

[LKSmash]

 

[ironcreed]

Nice. I'll take LO for free.

 

[BlueTsunami]

I now know what I'm playing for winter break. Never played Lost Odyssey

 

[The Elite]

My Xbox One is the best Xbox 360.

 

[SheHateMe]

Now I can sell my physical copy back to GS before the trade in value tanks.

Thanks, MS!

Spoiler

Where in the ever loving FUCK is Tales Of Vesperia?

 

[Call Me A Hero]

Already have it physical but still awesome.

Nope so awesome!

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

I just need the PGR games now and my life is complete.

Mannnnn don't even get me started .

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Yeah, that seems pretty clear lol.

Are there any visual glitches/missing effects resulting from the BC, though?

 

[digoutyoursoul]

As in any downloaded copies lose their ability to be played after that? Or that you have until then to download it permanently?

To download free for those who don't currently own it

 

[OrbitalBeard]

So... how are these games with the Xbone's BC? As good or better than playing on the 360?

In most cases, it's pretty similar. In some cases, it's better. And in some cases, it's worse, but the BC team tends to fix problems with patches. Overall, XB1 is a great place to play 360 games.

 

[Indelible]

Really glad Lost Odyssey is free, more people need to play that game.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

HOLY SHIT I FINALLY GET TO PLAY LOST ODYSSEY

 

[Vaga]

Have to add a credit card to get something for free, fucking microsoft idiots!

 

[Giftofgab24]

So... how are these games with the Xbone's BC? As good or better than playing on the 360?

I'm pretty positive that every single game runs better on BC. There might still be two exceptions which would be halo:reach and gears 3. Even those have been updated multiple times though. The emulator gets rid of screen tearing completely and the frame rate on most games is improved. You also have the Xbox upscale putting it in 1080 for you and you have access to all of the Xbox ones social features like chat, screenshots, video clips,etc.

 

[rrc1594]

Can't believe people try shit post BC the other day. Look at this greatness

 

[Heysoos]

Just add your Paypal.

 

[Good Guy Gone Bad]

Free lost odyssey! I only ever got to disc 2 when I played before, so glad I'll get to complete it one day once I get to it ;_;

Still haven't played Blue Dragon since my backlog is so tragic

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Got it physically, but Ill take a free digital copy.

 

[Dimmle]

So so so

I've wanted to play Lost Odyssey forever but I don't have an Xbox One. Are their digital releases compatible with the Play Anywhere initiative (i.e. PC?)? I'm out of luck, aren't I?

 

[ironcreed]

Have to add a credit card to get something for free, fucking microsoft idiots!

So? Just remove it afterwards, that is what I do. Takes a few seconds. Or maybe use Paypal if you don't have a card.

 

[- J - D -]

Lost odyssey the best final Fantasy since 12. Play it.

 

[Vaga]

Just add your Paypal.

It wants only cc.

Can't play them on PC . If you have a 360 though it will work there too

 

[The Elite]

Lost odyssey the best final Fantasy since 12. Play it.

I hope a lot of new people discover this game.

 

[ViolentP]

Wait, so LO works on the One digitally now?

 

[sixteen-bit]

The price is right. Thanks for the free LO.

 

[Raide]

Damn MS. Perfect Xmas gift. Now hopefully the resurgence will mean a sequel for Scorpio!!!!

 

[Garlador]

Really glad Lost Odyssey is free, more people need to play that game.

Agreed.
Spread the word. This game deserved far more credit than it ever received at launch.

 

[oneida]

It didn't exist digitally until today, but yes
