Xbox Live 10th Anniversary 360 Console AKA Microsoft killed my children

[charlesr]

A mere 8 for me.

The number to the top right corner of your profile is your tenure (is that what they call it?) in years.
I'm pretty you can click on your profile somewhere too and it says how long you've been on it. Obviously, that's only for any profile you've been using without breaks.

Thanks!

Wonder how many will be on ebay? Have 2 mates who bought in on day 1...

Apart from plaing PSO on the DC then GC I never saw the point in getting broadband just to get shot in the face. Got it the same week as COD 4 came out and a Metro review of that forced me to join this brave new world!

Thats FOOKIN typical us BRITS shafted again

[gambit6613]

Yes but dont forget the bit i loved most about the whole article

"we will be engaging our members in various ways worldwide as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Xbox Live"

Which pretty much translates, we have got a ****ing clue what it is yet but rest assured it will be worth waiting for i.e it probably will be something really useful such as 500ms points but which can only be redeemable on certain things but not anything you actually want

Massive shocker ...


Looks like you can get Wreckateer free though, if you really want to: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Pr...5-d80258410b8c

And this is how Microsoft rewards the rest of the world. Seriously what a complete bunch of cocks this company truely is.

[FelixofMars]

Its more than we deserve, cannot wait until they bend us over the table further for their pleasure.

[gambit6613]

I suppose we should be grateful to them giving us 48 hours to download rather than 24 hours.

Ironically, if Microsoft had kept their mouths shut about the decade of Live, they wouldn't have people moaning that they're not getting an Anniversary console or it's only for US gamers or we're only getting one free game and it's only for 48 hours or they don't like the colours or it's a racialist giveaway.

He said:

I can confirm we're surprising some of the [Xbox Live] members that have been with us the longest with one of these

He never said everybody in the world with a 10 year Live subscription would get one.
Or if you're nine-and-a-bit, you can have one too.

It's an American company doing a promotion in America.

I thought it was a nice gesture, but everybody seems to think they deserve a free 360 too.

Surely all the people who have been on Live for 10 years already have a 360, so the majority of these will end up on eBay!

To paraphrase Grandpa Simpson: I didn't earn it, I don't need it, but if they don't send me one, I'll raise hell!

For further information on dealing with this issue, I can suggest the following documentaries:
Woolly and Tig: The Party
Tig gets fed up at a party because she doesn't win a game

Tweenies: I'm better than you
Bella thinks she's better at games than the other Tweenies but gets upset when they beat her on Max's fun fair games.

Post of the year! How many people kicking off have actually been on Live for 10 years?

you couldn't pay me to play a kinect game ever again, free Wreckateer is taking the piss (it is the worst selling Summer of Acrade title since records began), at least give out 1 none kinect game as well.

[MartyG]

If they had, it would have been Undertow.

[MisterBubbles]

Id rather have my 20 M$ points.
