You probably aren't, but I wanted to make a thread to note that MS finally got the dick out of their ass and stole a SONY idea for once.

At the show, they said if you are Gold, starting in July you get 2 free games a month.

Starting with Assassins Creed 2 and Halo 3.

They sure didn't start it with a bang...but this solves the "XBLGold doing nothing at all except being a pay gate"dilemma.

Depends on the selection for a given month. I'd pay $5 for the games if they interest me.

If i heard correctly, unlike PS Plus you keep these games permanently.

Eh. Maybe I'll start in August.

Ok, maybe this isn't so hot after all.

As a gesture of thanks to the millions of Xbox fans around the world for their passion and loyalty, Xbox announced that every Xbox Live Gold subscriber will receive two free Xbox 360 games per month until the release of Xbox One, starting with a pair of popular titles: “Halo 3” and “Assassin’s Creed II.” And to celebrate E3 in the month of June, Xbox Live Gold members will receive a free download of “Fable III.”

Hah it's a lame marketing tactic. Hay guyz buy gold again plz, oh and now that you already have gold again might as well get an xbone amirite?

demi · « **Reply #9 on:** June 10, 2013, 04:51:43 PM »

It's basically a 360 Ambassador program, for titles from 4 years ago. LOL

Oh well...

Fifstar · « **Reply #10 on:** June 10, 2013, 04:54:20 PM »

So they're just gonna give 6 or 8 ass old games away?

demi · « **Reply #11 on:** June 10, 2013, 04:57:06 PM »

From the sounds of it. Like a going away present.

Shadow Mod · « **Reply #12 on:** June 10, 2013, 05:00:51 PM »

So games most people have or have played already?

Third · « **Reply #13 on:** June 10, 2013, 05:04:37 PM »

More like XBL-

Pretty pathetic compared to Sony's + service.

Vertigo · « **Reply #14 on:** June 10, 2013, 05:08:37 PM »

They need 'better' games on offer. All the ones they mentioned I have and I imagine most 360 players already have.

PSN+ games are usually either junk I don't want to play or games I beat ages ago but they are fairly newish comparatively

chronovore · « **Reply #15 on:** June 10, 2013, 08:25:15 PM »

I 1000'd AC2, and played exactly as much of Halo 3 as I wanted to; unless there are more compelling games, or ones I haven't already utterly finished, I'm left flat.

Then again, I've been subscribed to Gold consistently for years, so I'm unlikely to let it lapse.

Beezy · « **Reply #16 on:** June 10, 2013, 08:26:35 PM »

Oh. Pass.

Positive Touch · « **Reply #17 on:** June 10, 2013, 09:09:04 PM »

i never played halo 3 so i bought it like a month ago. whatever, ive got gold til the end of the year so lets hope they throw some worthwhile shit on there.

Fragamemnon · « **Reply #18 on:** June 10, 2013, 09:10:39 PM »

pretty sure this is aimed at retention until the new device is released (XBL subscribers would be more inclined to early adopt) rather than any real play at attracting new customers. Those games are so old they are from when we all thought Obama would change history.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #19 on:** June 10, 2013, 09:55:00 PM »

Hm, sounds pretty okay to me. I'm sure there will be a few games I haven't played yet because I suck at keeping up with games these days. If they toss Dead Space 2 on there I'll definitely partake.

That'd be great. And a nice send-off for everyone that's going to leave them next gen.

I never bought Halo 3 so I'll download it anyway.
