Quake3World

Go to the Xbox Live Marketplace here, sign in with your account, choose to use microsoft points (click the "use microsoft points to pay" link) and you'll see that the game is marked as "free". You can download it on your console then.

This might be an error on MS' side, but I'd say grab it while you can

I'm not bullshitting you, I know about it through this article on Eurogamer.


edit:
oh, one minor detail, it appears that it doesn't work for Silver memberships, you need to be a gold member, which again leads me to believe that it may not be a mistake by MS after all.

If Microsoft did something good it was probably by accident? I see.

Nope. If Microsoft gives something away for free, it's probably an accident.

Giving something away for free isn't "good"?

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying DTS.

Jesus

You took my original post way too seriously, it was tongue-in-cheek.

They did the exact same thing with Fable2 right before Fable3 was announced. It's, what they call, a [air quote]leak[/air quote]

done and done, nice find

Ok, so it's free. But is it any good?

got it thanks!

lol done!

I heard it's not bad, but considering I found Fable 2 boring, I'm not sure it's for me. Still, it's free, so the 30 mins checking it out are probably well spent.

issue fixed!

A free shit sandwich is still a shit sandwich. Would you take a nibble to make sure?

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.”

lol @ ms screwing up! oh wait.

but yea, Fable2 was good. Fable3 is terrible. like, really bad.

oh shi-

Cool move by MS, yes. I wonder what the other games will be, because I've already completed both Halo 3 and AC2.

theyll probably be safe bets; games everyone already had like Gears, NFS, Oblivion, etc.

I wonder whether they will continue this PS+ style generosity into the Xbox One era or if it will remain exclusive to 360.

Prolly not, or they would've mentioned it in their New Live Experience crapola. Looks like it's 2 games a month for 6 months.
