Xbox 360 Free Games Thread

[Rhino172]

So after the announcement yesterday of two free games a month to all live gold members from now until the launch of the Xbox one I figured I'd start a thread so everyone can give each other a heads up as and when they notice a new free game pop up.

The free game is currently Fable III, downloaded last night for free with a few bits of extra content for free too.

That seems good, ill have a look later

Cheers

 

[Sargara]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll kick off a download later

 

[martynzs]

Sweet - will download later, was always one of those games I wanted to play but didnt want to pay for!

Little tip for cheap Gold access, let your subscription run out then leave it about 2 weeks, they then offer you 1/2 months for about £1, I do it all the time, had gold for about 2 years, with say 2 months downtime in total and only paid about £10!

 

[Nickson]

Like the sound of this!

 

[Scutch]

The next 2 will be Assassins Creed 2 & Halo 3

 

[AK]

I'm sure there's talk of a free tank game, can't find it anywhere now.

 

[Scutch]

World of Tanks. Don't think it's been released yet.

 

[Sargara]

Its World of Tanks, they are porting it from PC to Xbox. "Summer" its slated for aparently.
Be interesting to see how the transition from keyboard + mouse to controller works out. Either way its not a bad game but very pay 2 win (ingame cash shop affair).

 

[Gray]

Thanks for the heads up!

My mate wanks over this World of Tanks on the PC.
Puts 3k into his PC to play it and from the little I've seen of the game, a mega drive could quite happily run it.

 

[JackJack]

Anyone know if world of tanks will be availiable to buy for non gold members?

Just tried to download fable 3 and it won't let me
Error code 80162713 gets displayed?

Me too, could be down to the amount of people trying to download it.

Almost 6 gig though! I've only got a standard 20 gig hd. Though I do have an external 1TB hard drive, is there anyway I can download the game onto that?

I got this. Try pressing X to pay for it with MS points and it should let you download. For free still of course.

Worked for me, cheers

 

[Jcs]

Sounds like their trying to get cheapskates like me to upgrade to a bigger hardrive. It might just work too.

Ok I'll try this. Cheers mate

 

[Adamm.]

20gb HD fail for me then .

 

[Snakey]

Is it possible to link up an external hard drive to the 360 and save them to that?

 

[domjolly]

Fable 3 seems pretty sweet so far loved fable 2 hope this will be just as good

 

[Saamm93]

Loved fable 3

Would also like to know if the external hard dive would work

 

[coleman]

Can't you chuck them on a USB flash drive?

 

[Rhino172]

You can hook up an external drive for use with the Xbox for games etc but when you do it formats the whole the drive the first time you do it and I think it's only a certain amount of space which is quite small. I've done it with a USB stick (the one that came with forza 3) and have my profile on it so when I go round a mates I can take it with me and sign in with my profile on thier machines, and take game saves etc with me.

 

[Uncle_Gravy]

Wasn't a fan of Fable 3, but since it was free I started the download and cancled it, just to have it in my DL history

 

[Nickson]

F3 is nothing on F2 IMO.

Fable 2 was awesome.

Not bad for free though! I had to for it :dapprove:

 

[S2H]

didn't know this will have a look later. Amazon are doing 1 year gold at the mo for 27quid. That's pretty decent.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

I've downloaded this tonight now. Never played the fable games before so it's all new to me

 

[JJ!]

When is next free one due?

 

[Tunst]

Im gonna have to buy a hard drive.. Wish i didnt swap my elite for my brothers 4gb slim... I love that boy to much...

 

[Sargara]

Halo3 and its DLC is rumored to be the next free title.

 

[AK]

The next 2 will be Assassins Creed 2 & Halo 3

:rasp:

 

[Sargara]

Oh i just skipped to the end and read the last post, i didnt even see Scutch's post on Page#1 haha.

 

[AK]

Looking forward to Halo and AC3, never played either of them myself.

 

[koi]

Thanks, downloaded Halo Waypoint

 

[Scutch]

:rasp:

Wasn't I right?

 

[AK]

Yup.

 

[Brand86]

[Scutch]
