As I said on GAF we currently don't know much about XBL on Xbone, details still have to come besides online-play and cloud-PR.

Guys, please don't argue about Ps+ and XBL. They are different, have different values and we will never agree which is better or worse, you decide. Let's all just celebrate MS is doing something consumer-friendly here. I know some can't stand it and penetrate this thread but you, Selnor, shouldn't discuss it- You said what one should do in positive MS threads.

Happy about the free games, but they have yet to give a game that I care to play. I LOVED M&M:COH but was the only one I already owned.

The interesting part will be when both the PS4 and the XB1 have the streaming or whatever service available to play the PS3 and 360 games. Will they allow any digital purchases(or in this case free downloads) to be usable? After all, they are done digitally??? We will see.

./ignore rest of thread

yes, yo_john.. i agree.  extending this on 360 is nice and all but MS ought to show they are serious about the program and extend it to xbone.  regardless of the semantics of how games are delivered... MS really ought to match the value sony is providing with their service if they want to remain competitive.  now that ps+ is required for multiplayer on ps4 a lot more people will have it and i expect the good word of mouth about it to expand.   

no clue about MS,. there is nothing to set precidence.

..but sony put soundshapes, flower, flow on ps4 with cross-buy enabled.  to me that's a positive sign that sony views their service as an ecosystem that is hardware agnostic so i have a lot of hope i'll have free access to anything on gaikai i've already purchased (digitally).

Actually I did let it lapse early this year. I had another code for Gold (12 + 1 month), but I was busy and didn't have much time to play anything. I didn't re-subscribe until MS announced this program. I still haven't had much time to play my 360, but when I do later I will have a whole bunch of new games to play that I didn't before even if I don't re-subscribe sometime next year.

You dont get the games if your not subscribed during the month its free. 

May only be carrying on for another 2 months anyway.

** Games with Gold free games offer available 6/10/13-12/31/13 for qualifying paid Gold members only

I used my XBL Gold subscription code when they started the program. I'm a gold member until the middle of next year from that 13month code. I download my free games twice a month when they become available.

For the price I paid for the subscription, I'm basically buying each game for about $1.75 each (price I paid for subscription code/13months/2 games per month). Even I'm not using multiplayer at the moment, I'm still getting a good value. $1.75 per game is really cheap.
