If it's tied to the gamerscore that's a nice gesture. Can't believe some people still try to spin this as a bad move, really?
Yeah my mate did, only diff with mine and his membership is he has double my gamerscore at over 100K

So tired of the Double Helix drive-bys. It's pretty obvious who has been following this game and who hasn't.
I bet it's for over 100K gamerscores, i'm at 50k and got nothing
Are you opted in for Xbox marketing?

I got one too, sweet. I'm a 7-year member with a 93k gamerscore.

I have 83k gamerscore, just checked my email and nothing. Damn getting this for free would have been awesome. Oh well I was going to buy the $20 version anyways.

I'll have to keep an eye out for this email, certainly wouldn't mind saving $20.

Don't worry, pretty sure everyone who has played SH Homecoming feels the same way.
Anyway, this is actually a really smart move by MS - guarantees that a decent amount of people will actually be playing the game at launch and since they got it for free, a good amount of micro transactions will probably occur.
i think so, get the odd email

I've been following the game. Not impressed.
Haven't played it, however- so final judgment is reserved, but I'm simply going by their past track record, which is piss poor.
Can they prove me wrong? Sure... but being 'rewarded' with this game does nothing for me. Sorry, friend.

Wouldn't mind getting KI for free, but not re-upping XBL for another year while I don't have an Xbox to get it. Plus I'm not keen toward fighters.

Just noticed in my settings I opted out of MS emails. Doh.
nearly a 4 yr account w/ 50000 Achievement Points, dozens of games, etc.
...No email
Clearly not dedicated enough.
I've only got around 11k so I don't expect one either.

I have 2 months free gold.... after my current plan runs out..
I gifted my ps3 to charity... now i'm only on my 360 I got last year (game store reopening after administration...
Don't know if its a sign of the times.. but I can't give away my 360 once I get PS4... as in.. I've been offering my less than a year old.. 360.. and noone wants it... lmao
The issue is, as cool as a free game is, MS's other actions recently have been so despicable that it makes the intention totally transparent.
It's as though I have to pick between two children to leave my house to when I die, and one of them tried to trick me, then tried to blackmail me, then had me beaten up, and when that didn't work they started trying being nice. Am I supposed to be impressed? It's transparent!

No email here, been a Live subscriber for 6 years running and bought hundreds of games. Xbox One Day One edition pre-ordered through Microsoft Store. My gamerscore is low though (not an achievement chaser).
Cool for those who got one.
Maybe haven't followed it close enough. New team of fighting game veterans was formed and put on this game. Impressions from the FGC have been nothing but positive.

I knew there was going to be a "Day One" achievement, but how'd you get the Xbox One Preordered achievement?Just received this in my inbox. Didn't find any threads about it.
EDIT: I don't know why. I have 7 years of Gold and I have Xbox One preordered achievement. Might be related.
EDIT2: I also have the highest tier on Xbox Live Rewards for achievements unlocked. Might also be related.
Jesus man...step away a bit. They reversed things and since have been more transparent about their system, etc than Sony has.

SH: Homecoming though. That shit was awful and DH deserve most of the shit they get until they prove otherwise.

Not sure if you still can do it but pre-ordering from the MS Store through the dashboard would net you the achievement.

Do you have to have preordered the XB1 to get this?

Got it. In Canada.
6 Year Gold. 110K Gamerscore. Although I'm sure having 650 played titles might count for me somehow.
