Seems like Xbox One Early Adopters will get LIMBO for free

I got it, but don't have the achievement.

My brother got the console day one (with achievement) and I signed in, though
 
Got that and the Sunset items.

The email I got yesterday also said I'm in the top 1% so I'm waiting to see if that means anything for prizes in email later

You guys are griping about getting one of the best XBLA games ever made for FREE ??

What is wrong with you people. Limbo was beautiful, smart, and mysterious. Whoever said "yuck" in response to receiving Limbo should be put in time out. I can't think of a more cynical response to an amazing game.
 
Yup, just received this via email...

I got the Sunset Overdrive DLC and free Limbo. I am guessing we are only getting 1 new GWG Xbox One game for December. I already played Limbo on Xbox 360 but I will play it again on Xbox One.

Yep, I got it (UK):

I dunno how people complain about something like this though. I can't even find the reason or energy to complain, and I already own this game on Xbox 360 AND PC.

One of the best?

Don't oversell the game. It's decent, nothing more. It certainly doesn't deserve to be mentioned alongside some of the truly great Xbox Live Arcade games that are available and would have been a much better choice.

Nice gesture I guess, but unless they added something to the
jarring end after it gets really good
I've no reason to replay this.

This is bang on... if they added just a little bit of exposition after that finale it would generate a brand new swell of interest in the game

No message about LIMBO for me, I never did complete it on PC (I'm so stupid) would have been nice. Also no SO items lol.

I received this, the SO clothing items, some DBZ episodes, and the latest DBZ movie. Bizarre, but I'll take it.

He is just still mad because of no screenshot yet. 2015 will change him. Shitting on a free game giveaway is really just ... Laughable tho.

This doesn't necessarily disprove my point. A game receiving undeserved plaudits is hardly something new.

After all, I fully expect Destiny to win GoTY from a few outlets this year, doesn't mean the game wasn't a complete and utter let down that makes you question if Bungie were just simply lucky with Halo...

Super weak early adopter gift, but free is free and it's better than nothing.

Limbo is a good game. It's also four years old. To me, that's the yuck. But again, it's better than nothing.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
I got a message via Xbox Live that I'm getting Limbo. Never played it so that's great for me. Also got the SO items yesterday. No other emails though.
 
Yeah, mentioned this in the other thread but I got a code and have downloaded it. Seems like a straight port but I can't really be sure.
