Microsoft clarifies free Xbox One Limbo eligibility

Microsoft has clarified the terms of its free Limbo promotion, confirming that those "who played their Xbox One the first weekend of launch" were selected to receive "early, free access to the game".

[Gazondaily]

Nice. Never bought this even though I played the demo quite a bit.

[tgunzz]

Got my code,and looking forward to playing this cool looking game.

[Yetter]

yep, me too. Just got my free copy and I'm enjoying it now

[MrFit]

Pretty generous of MS to give out a $15, 4 yr old game to people who pent an extra $150 for the system and played it immediately. Way to go.

[Gazondaily]

They weren't obliged to give away anything.

Many Day One edition bundles came out with copies of free games like Forza 5 and Fifa 14 too.

But obviously, with the sense of entitlement people have these days, people would moan if they got 14 games, a ticket to heaven and a massage from Mila Kunis.

[GoPanthers999]

No, I would probably think 14 games, a ticket to heaven and a massage from Mila Kunis was freakin awesome. Now you make getting Limbo sound pathetic, thanks.

[danowat]

The entitlement is strong with this one.

[kstap33]

I can get Kinect with an Xbox one for $350? Oh, you're just trolling... or can't do math?

[TimeSkipLuffy]

No one was forcing you to buy the console on launch day. Of course it makes common sense that the console will be cheaper or offer more value for the price AFTER it is launched! Simply because there is Sony and MS fighting each other for console dominance.

If you want the best value just wait. It will get cheaper and cheaper with every year.
If you can't wait, then just spent the money but that is totally up to you.

"people who spent an extra $150"

extra $150 over what? the kinectless xbox that has a $50 price cut for the holidays? the kinect bundles are $450 right now which would be $50 less than we paid on launch day and if I'm not mistaken, they also put that $50 price cut on kinect bundles for the holidays. i know you don't care about facts or anything like that so just keep talking about people spending $150 more.

im guessing your a ps4 guy so here, ill leave you a link to what ps4 gave all of us for the one year anniversary.

we all get to reflect on how many sales and ps+ subscribers they picked up this year! awesome right? how generous of them! i know most ps4 gamers care more about sales than anything so i guess they know exactly how to please their fan base.

[meatysausage]

Sorry, what did sony give me?

[ScorpiusX]

I have a day one Xbox one , no complaints about cost , or what was missing cause all I wanted was to play the games on it .As for limbo , a game no matter how old is still a great game especially when it's free.

[dantesparda]

That's it?! that's all they are giving their biggest supporter? And damn, MS fanboys are so touchy and defensive.

[christocolus]

@dantesp

Its a free game for xbox one owners and you aint one of them so why does it bother u? You don't own the console neither are you an xbox fan, so im wondering your reasons for coming in here to make negative comments. Its a free game for xbox owners. This doesn't concern you in anyway.

[Svinya]

Dante - did you get lost and wander into an xbox article by accident or on purpose to troll?

[MrFit]

I'm not saying PS+ is better,and I never even mentioned the PS4. I don't have PS+, and I actually love the XboxOne.
The reason I seem bitter is because I wanted the XboxOne and the Kinect was mandatory day 1. So I've had the Kinect that I didn't want and haven't used it since I got it. They didn't release the Kinectless one until later, then dropped the price to $350.

And it does seem kind of cheap to give the game only to people who played it the 1st weekend. I get the free game, but what about the people who bought it day one and gave it as a Christmas gift?

[Foehammer]

I use my Kinect EVERY day

But I'll bite, if your Kinect is good as new then why don't you sell it?

They cost $150 new.

[gamer9]

$150 kinect is laughable, they did that to maintain perceived value in the kinect + xbox, cheaper than buying both separately. If someone gave me 60 bucks for it, it’d be gone in a heartbeat. It’s plugged in and I use it to invite friends to party that’s it, which I can do with controller. The next Mass Effect better have damn good voice controls, because until then it is quite useless.

[Yetter]

Just to clarify, we spent an extra 50$ as our console includes the Kinect, and considering my XB1 is in use 12 -14 hours a days since I bought it, I consider it money well spent

[ShowanW]

I already got my Limbo code about 3days ago or so.

Still a great game too.

[No_Limit]

Have this on x360..really a gem of a game. Have fun to the early xb1 supporter.

[kstap33]

Wonderful. Mine was purchased as a gift, so didn't get played until Christmas day. MS already had my money though.

[Volkama]

You should probably go and see whoever got you that Christmas present so you can tell them what a p**** they are.

It's only a little indie game though, you aren't missing out on anything hugely valuable.

[dumahim]

Well, if there's supposed to be some code or mention of it in the email they sent out, I never got any mention of the game.

[Sonital]

I received it via XBL message!

[mooseo21]

The code will be in your messages on your console itself. Check there.

[dumahim]

Ah ok, thanks. Both of you.

[vakarian75]

Do you have to have played a game on the first weekend or just used something on it?

[MookaTek]

Just started playing this. I like the creepy vibe and simple yet violent death animations. I was planning on buying this one day, but I guess it's good that I held off and got it for free.

[sungam3d]

WOW! Free $10 game!

GG MS! So generous...

[Svinya]

What did sony or nintendo give you guys? Oh, right, nothing.

[sungam3d]

Why would they give me anything?
I don't even own a console...
Well, I do, a nes, snes and a sega megadrive.

[XxExacutionerxX]

Really, what has Sony given its loyal fanboys....... I bought both consoles before release, and I've only been thanked by Microsoft. What do I get for buying a Ps4 a year ago?......... You guys trash Xbox but are given nothing from Sony, free game no, free PsPlus no, maybe sony might give you one free rental to PsNow. Lol. Enjoy that PsNow. .lol Hey, any Sony fanboys want to burrow Metal Gear Solid 4 for 15 dollars for 90 days...I paid 5 dollars for it at gamestop but you burrow the game for 90 days amd guess what you can play it offline too!!!! (better than Psnow)...lol and they say Xbox scams people

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Why is such a big deal being made out of MS giving away a free game to day one owners? I bought a X1 and PS4 on day one and i dont expect any freebies from either company. If i get them thats great and ill be happy just to receive the gift. Ive noticed some or you feel entitled and expect MS to just do as you say. Such a shame that gamers now days have such bad attitudes. I dont feel shafted at all by MS for being a day one buyer because i enjoy my X1 every single day when i have the time. I do however, feel like i could have waited til 2015 to buy my ps4 because i havent really used it since infamous. And why is there no article about feeling shafted by sony?

[TheEnigma313]

I love this game but it depressed the hell out of me. Great game though.

[coolbeans]

"who played their Xbox One the first weekend of launch"

That's not the case for me (purchased a Day One edition last June) and I still received a code.
