XBL: Games with Gold

So people are upset with getting a brand new game for free instead of paying? New is subjective here but to me it is because its a new version on a new console. Especially considering I've never played the original I think this is a great idea

People always prefer quantity to quality. They should have given a pair of angry birds, or some similar shit, and everybody would be happy.
 
"free"

Not sure if anyone noticed yet, Guacamelee seems to be available (on the US store at least) via web or on the console. Just got it downloaded and booted up!

Also don't forget to check out the new preview/survey app's. Definitely a cool way to give feedback if they actually pay attention to it.
 
How do i redeem the Xbone stuff if i done have a Xbone? Someone gave me direct links last time for Max and Spartan Assault to redeem them but i can't seem to get it for Guacamelee.

edit: nvm i worked it out. I was accidentally click on Max links lol.
 
Halo Spartan Assault is still listed on the store as free at the moment too.

The gold hub on the console has H:SA, Gucamelee STCE and Max all there so for those without HSA, GO GO GO
 
Being asked to add a credit card to download Guacamelee! STCE on the console.

Anyone else having this issue?

Same issue here...didn't have it with Max and Spartan Assault.

Quite a problem as I'm in a Tier 2 country and Xbox Live won't accept my credit card...fantastic (I know I could probably find a way around it with either Paypal or fictional address, but that pisses me off).

Yep, having this problem too. Hope they realize it and fix the issue quickly.

I tweeted @XboxSupport, maybe if some of you guys could do it aswell they'll notice it earlier.
 
Is there any way to check to see if you have a games with gold game "on your account"?

I have two gold accounts on my xbox one. I think the games are only giving the "rights" to the game to one account.
 
I can't see how to see xbox one download history on either xbox.com or the console.

I don't think it's possible on Xbox.com other than navigating to the specific game's page.

As for on the console, the most equivalent thing to download history is to the right after all your installed games in the Games&App app. There will be little tiles for anything not installed but you have purchased in the past.
 
Wow, a two and a half year old free to play PC shooter that no one likes or plays. How generous, Microsoft. Meanwhile, PS3 is getting another AAA title, Dead Space 3.

To be fair, Dead Space 3 is worse in my opinion. To think I paid $60 for it and it was $20 within months :(
 
Last night I was tempted to purchase child of light, contrast, and some other 15$ titles, but I resisted in fear that they'd be free in a few months.
I don't like that feeling =/
 
Could someone who's downloaded any GwG on Xbox One please check something for me? Can you still choose to buy it, despite of it being downloaded for free? Maybe there's an option in the menu you get when you press the menu button on the game's tile or something?

When I went to download Guacamelee this morning, the only option was to download for free in the store.


Weird, I had no issues this morning. Didn't try it out to make sure it worked, though.
 
Perhaps not, but at least they're making a substantially better effort and offering ne wand popular titles. Plus, it's in my backlog.
They gave away 3 really good games last month.

Look, not every month is going to be a winner even with PS+ but you can do much worse than Imposters and Battleblock Theater for FREE.
