Saw this on Reddit. Searched twitter and others on Gaf are reporting the same message. Not sure if it's everybody but that's cool they are doing that.

AkelisRain · Nov 1, 2014

Mighty nice of Ms.

Wario64 · Nov 1, 2014

Good on MS. Ryse is fun.

Killer · Nov 1, 2014

GJ on them.

Levyne · Nov 1, 2014

That's generous of them.

-Pyromaniac- · Nov 1, 2014

What a twisted opinion of fun

malfcn · Nov 1, 2014

Ryse could have been GWG this month..

Japarican · Nov 1, 2014

Day 1 salt incoming

baconcow · Nov 1, 2014

No lost sales, there.

Chobel · Nov 1, 2014

US only or does it include other countries?

Cynn · Nov 1, 2014

It will be fun seeing how people will try and twist this into a bad thing. Super damn solid of you MS.

MizzouRah · Nov 1, 2014

How do they know if you bought the SO Bundle and not just the gamecode?

SwiftDeath · Nov 1, 2014

Damn that's nice of them

Good for Crytek too? I assume they'd get some compensation for each of those copies right???

macewank · Nov 1, 2014

sweet goodness.. Microsoft is *not* half assing this early adopter screwjob are they. haha

StuBurns · Nov 1, 2014

Super cool. Bravo.

Probably the system's serial number

JLeack · Nov 1, 2014

Holy shnikies. I'm jelly.

GrizzleBoy · Nov 1, 2014

Nice.

I will play that game one day.

Desperate MS!

everyday math · Nov 1, 2014

Got it as well. I'll take a free game!

Can't lie, I am a little salty.

Cool for people that got it though.

Crimsonclaw111 · Nov 1, 2014

Ryse? Lol

Still a cool gesture from Microsoft though.

malfcn · Nov 1, 2014

Is it the regular or legendary edition?

TheZink · Nov 1, 2014

I got one. Posted about it in another thread.

GHG · Nov 1, 2014

What about those of us that got the console in the last month or so?

Although I got Forza 5 and Fifa 15 free so I'm really not complaining, just begging at this point.

Welfare · Nov 1, 2014

So for $349, you can get*:

White Xbox One
White Controller
Sunset Overdrive
Ryse

Damn!

*On November 2, of course.

Instro · Nov 1, 2014

Hm maybe they should have kept that one. That's neat though.

TheZink · Nov 1, 2014

malfcn said:

Looks like regular.

Papercuts · Nov 1, 2014

Really cool gesture. Wonder if it's just this week since it has a bit of an awkward release before the price dropped bundle.

Gaz_RB · Nov 1, 2014

So if I buy one on Sunday, will I get Ryse?

Ol No Bones · Nov 1, 2014

Just give everyone Ryse. It really deserves at least a play through. Solid game.

Poker Face · Nov 1, 2014

I didn't get a message and I bought the bundle. lol

Guevara · Nov 1, 2014

Goosing sales by sweetening the deal?

matthieuC · Nov 1, 2014

I'm not trying to be that guy but why wouldn't they give them to the earlier adopters to show their appreciation to them? I feel like they deserve a little something after all of these price drops.

It's great how they even do this stuff in the first place though.

crazyprac · Nov 1, 2014

Pretty awesome. Wish you could pick any game for free... Now that'll be killer deal.

jond76 · Nov 1, 2014

Very cool.

WelfareBurger · Nov 1, 2014

Nothing here...but this isn't my first Xbox One....and I already played through Ryse.
Maybe they saw that

CodeNfX · Nov 1, 2014

Wow so random. Glad I bought the bundle.

Tevos · Nov 1, 2014

As a madden bundle owner, FUCK

Zomba13 · Nov 1, 2014

Nothing here either. I did borrow my cousins Xbone a few months ago though and logged my account into it and played Rome though. Also UK here if region makes a difference.

Dead Man Typing · Nov 1, 2014

Cool, I wanted to try Ryse. No message from MS yet, I'm in the UK, we only got the bundle today.

jjp14 · Nov 1, 2014

I bought the bundle the day before the price drop was announced, so getting this would help the sting burn less. However, I haven't received anything..

RE_Player · Nov 1, 2014

Desperate Microsoft is the best Microsoft. The same way Sony had to develop things like PlayStation Plus to try and get an edge on competition Microsoft is doing things like this and temporary price drops.

I hope this applies to Canada too as I'm thinking about picking up an Xbox One.

RYSE is a pretty good game, completely under rated in reviews.

How is this desperate?

It's a free game to those who already bought the bundle, it's not like the people that bought the bundles knew this was coming.

Godslay · Nov 1, 2014

This is the message I got.

Zushin · Nov 1, 2014

Wonder if this is US only. Just got the Sunset Overdrive bundle the other day.

AgentOtaku · Nov 1, 2014

Whoa!

This is really awesome of them! (^___^)

Bought and registered my SO bundle XBoxOne yesterday (of which I'm legitimately loving), though haven't gotten a message yet....

I guess people shouldn't have "enjoyed Chariot so much" if they wanted Ryse...
