GWG Games with Gold Xbox LIVE - GOLD Subs - Free game every 1st and 16th of the month

[charlesr]

Hahahaha. [MENTION=1029]NoelEdwards[/MENTION] just informed me that it's only Xbox360 games that are free forever and that Xbone ones require the Gold sub (i.e. rental like PS+). How come I missed that before? I feel violated.

Has anyone tried playing them with the plug pulled and a secondary account?

Not entirely sure where to put this..

Although I've been on TrueAchievements for ages I've only just realised they track sales, GWG and price changes for Xbox One and 360

The only thing it doesn't have over xbldb.com is the historical prices.

****e for the Xbox One then. At least 360 owners get Dirt 3.

[MartyG]

Could point to something bigger appearing in December given Knight Squad is rolling into the following month as one of the titles.

Both of those 360 games are BC

[charlesr]

So how does that work? If you don't have a 360, can you just order it on Xbox.com and then it will appear on the install list on the Xbone (once the BC update arrives)?

[MartyG]

Yup, if it's in your library it'll appear in the available for download section if it's on the BC list.

Yeah, they are also putting the 360 titles into the Xbox One store if they are compatible

Bit meh?

If you haven't tried Dirt 3 it's excellent, although traditional rally stages are too short.

Fingers crossed. I reckon Transformers will end up as a free game within a year so I've sold my copy for now.

Dirt 3 is excellent but since I completed it and still own the original it's not for me. Still, for those who don't own it, it's a great title to get for free.

Now that is good news.
