It's not just on the X1, if you try to buy this game via the Xbox.com store you also hit the "add payment method" even though the game is free, stopped me doing it on the PC was fairly annoying since my Xbox360 isn't in an active state of updated/connected to the TV.

As for the "why should ms be criticised for this when other sites offering free trials do the same" This isn't a free trial, it's free software, would be like if you had to add a payment option to google account to download free apps from the google play store, you don't so there isn't a comparison here.

I don't see the issue. Just add a payment option and if you don't trust your info being attached to you're account delete it right after. It should almost only take 10 mins. If 10 mins is that much of an inconvenience then don't download the game.

Will take me less time to update my X360 and add it to my account than go about the process of adding my bank details to something where it isn't required. Funny part is I have the game on disks so it doesn't really matter at all to me lol, it's just the game is on 4 dvd's so I was thinking it would be easier to have it digitally.
