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!
Do you have to have preordered the XB1 to get this?
Jesus man...step away a bit. They reversed things and since have been more transparent about their system, etc than Sony has.
lucky :/I'm below 100k GS and got the email. Definitely not related to that.
Realisation at Redmond that highest ARPU hardcore are flocking to PS4 for multi's and possibly cancelling or minimising Live spend as a result - this would gut their business model totally.
More desperate attempts to come, they will try for more exclusives.

I'm hoping for more free games.
It'll be $10 in a month from launch anyway
'Murica still didn't get their free Fifa/Forza. Not fair.
Yeah lets give away something we dont know if we can complete for launch.might have cared if they announced this earlier - maybe like a few weeks ago even - now it just looks like another misguided and desperate attempt at retaining loyalty
Anyone from UK got anything yet?
*refreshes inbox*
Wait wait wait hold up, this free gift is only for certain members? And I didn't get sent an e-mail
Well Microsoft have fucking done it now
I wouldn't be surprised if we UK folk saw nothing again. As an owner of a day one original xbox and day one 360 and xbox live subscriber up till 2 years ago, I have seen absolutely nothing in return for loyalty (with the exception of two free games and original burger controller as a rebate for the reduced original xbox price so quickly after launch).
Not that I'm claiming I deserve something, just that I hear these things happening in the US but never the UK. Steam has been quite generous in the past to early users. Has Sony given out things to loyal customers before in Europe?
Got the e-mail also!

Ah. I preordered through the MS Store online, but not via my 360. :-/Not sure if you still can do it but pre-ordering from the MS Store through the dashboard would net you the achievement.
11 years, 20k GS... Canada (beta test)
nothing
but I'm buying the fuck out of the game anyways so it don't really matter to me
Really? I thought they extended to program to the US too...
Oh dear, MS.
Looks like the people getting free consoles are all Xbox MVPs.

Please be excited.
One last, desperate attempt.
Too little too late.
