Like you download it, then come new year they block it and you have to pay for it or delete it?

Based on past experience, yes. Microsoft is known for weekend trials. I have my guard up, but I could be wrong. Theres no harm in downloading it, but yeah, this happened with the borderlands collection. Kotaku hyped it up before the weekend and it ended up just being a trial. Not to be a party pooper,  but download it and wait out the weekend to see the if is fake. In retrospect, I'll probably do the same.

It's 100% free.

It's the 4th free game this year (not counting trials)
No gold subscription required. That means it can't be part of the "Free Play Days" as they require gold.
We already got the confirmation by MS. Kotaku only hyped up Borderlands as being free, because it appeared as free in the store before Microsoft announced that it was part of a free weekend.

Does you have to download it or just "buy it", until December 31th?

Its most likely free for the month if true.  People would be dumb to miss out on this if true. My Xbox Digital collection is insane at this point. Makes my PS4 collection pale in comparison. I still have my reservations, but damn. Microsoft is killing it.

I want to know if it's free to just buy it, or if I have to actually download it this month to it to be free, not just the act of buying it.
Because I don't have any xbox, so if I can somehow manage to just buy it, I can download it sometime in the future when/if I buy one, but if I have to actually download it now, yeah, can't do it.

Im already downloading it. It said its  free on the page so hopefully it remains usable past December 31st. When borderlands was free for the weekend it never said free until the weekend came and you could only download it on the website before for free (The Xbox store had it for $29.99). This is an interesting little situation. Its downloading though. Thats my fourth free game this week from MS if so and the next set of free games for the month are coming. Damn them to hell for making my backlog unbearable.

On PSN if I buy something I can download it whenever I want, even if it was a free transation, and free for some time, once I "buy" it, it's mine forever.
I want to know if that's the case with the LIVE, so I could "buy" it on the site, and later (much later xP) download it.

It's the same.

Yeah its free on both :)

Yay, not only does that mean I don`t need to buy another copy, but I`ll also never again need to worry about that stupid 4th disc not working

That's because you had to deal with that crappy envelope for the fourth disc. Say hello to the superior box!



Spade on 15 December 2016

Wasn't an envelope for me just one slot in the disc case that allowed 4 discs in one.

Well excuse me for not buying the Chinese version. Didn`t even know there was one actually

Is that yours?

Pic isn't mine, but that copy indeed is.

It's the NTCS-J asian version, which is also compatible with PAL and has english voices and subtitles.

So why didn`t you let him borrow your copy of LoD to keep him interested?

I actually made him play it way, way before that XD

You might as well as buy a Xbox One at this point. 360 has plenty of games for it and its all well and good, but at this point you might as well as go for the better version. With the S you could upscale it to 4k which is something you can't do on the 360.

Didn`t you get the Korean version as well? So you have the Korean version, the Asian version and the Spanish version? You really liked LO, huh?

Korean version is the asian version I'm talking about. xD
