Forums - Microsoft - FREE FFXIII Chocobo Avatar Item!

It's very simple. Log into Xbox.com with the email address that you used to create your Gamertag and click Register on this (UK) this (US)webpage. Click confirm and that's all there is to it..

UPDATE: Because Xbox.com has region specfic webpages, sign into Xbox.com with your account and just copy & paste games/splash/f/finalfantasyXIII/ after http://www.xbox.com/en-US/ or http://www.xbox.com/en-gb/ for example. The beginning of the link will be different depending on where you are from.

The code to download your feathery friend will arrive in your email inbox sometime in December.

If you haven't already guessed the Chocobo Avatar item (most probably a prop) is the exclusive Xbox 360 Final Fantasy XIII reward for the Twitter promotion revealed in the latest trailer on the XBL Marketplace.

Microsoft + Final Fantasy XIII = Avatar Chocobos!

Written Wednesday, November 25, 2009 by Dan Webb

Now maths in school wasn't my strong point... but I do know that equation in the headline is what we call a win/win situation.

Recently Microsoft ran a Twitter-promotion that required a certain amount of retweets before it unlocked a secret prize. It appears that recently the Xbox Live community reached that goal... their reward? A Chocobo for their avatar.

To get your hands on this undoubtedly awesome Xbox Live avatar reward, head here and click "Register Now." At last check, according to AceyBongos, the sign up was only open to UK, France and Germany, with more regions to come, including Italy and Spain. Xbox Canada's Community Manager, Jake Reardon, has confirmed the Canadian's sign up is now working, and we presume the American can't be far behind.

The codes don't get sent out till December, so just remain patient about the sign-up process for the time-being. Everyone in the UK, France, Germany and Canada though, get moving and sign up today.

[Update:] It appears the US is working now. Change the region in the "head here" link to make it fit your region to get it working.

Does the PS3 have avatars?



Updated Original post.

To make it easy just paste games/splash/f/finalfantasyXIII/ in the URL after your region url code (en-US en-gb etc) when signed in with your gamertag.
