Same here. Since that would amount to $120.00 per year for Xbox Live, I've decided to pass on the deal.

It was posted on Cheapassgamer earlier today and it worked for me but it looks like no one can tell why it works for some and not others. It actually gave me two months instead of one. Mine was due to expire at the end of march and now it's extended till the end of May.

Didn't work for me. Would have liked an extra month, but not a big deal.

It's asking me to put a credit card on file before I can redeem the free month. Is that normal?

The free month worked for me yesterday. And yeah, it set up an auto-pay, but I'll renew it by other means before then.

Who likes pretty controllers?

http://majornelson.com/2016/03/17/du...inkId=22386020



These new controllers feature a faded color gradient finish – blue-to-black for Dusk Shadow and copper-to-black for Copper Shadow – which is the first of its kind for Xbox One Wireless Controllers. They also come equipped with all the standard features of the Xbox One Wireless Controller, including Impulse Triggers, responsive thumbsticks, an enhanced D-pad, and a 3.5mm stereo headset jack.

Both controllers are available for pre-order starting today for $69.99 USD ERP. You can find them on store shelves at participating retailers in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Argentina, and Brazil later this month and in other select regions worldwide in April. As always, availability and pricing vary by region. In the U.S., the Xbox One Special Edition Copper Shadow Wireless Controller will be exclusively available at Microsoft stores and GameStop, and the Xbox One Special Edition Dusk Shadow Wireless Controller will be exclusively available at Microsoft stores and, for a limited time, Best Buy.

You can immediately turn off auto-renew.

Every new controller needs to have that grip on the back. That should be a requirement going forward.

Yeah, these look like they don't have the rubber grip. Agreed that it should be standard.

Microsoft Spring Sale -

http://majornelson.com/2016/03/18/sp...of-game-deals/

Spring forward to great deals! The Xbox Spring Sale begins on March 20th, and we’re offering Xbox One consoles at a special $299 price for a limited time. That’s $50 off all Xbox One console bundles at participating retailers in the US including the Xbox One Tom Clancy’s The Division Bundle that launched this month, the Xbox One 500GB Name Your Game Bundle which lets you choose one of four great games, and even the upcoming Xbox One Special Edition Quantum Break Bundle.

Then, starting on March 22 for one week only you can get great deals on digital Xbox games, PC games and Movies and TV from the Xbox Store. Save up to 40 to 60 percent off on games, with some at more than 60 percent off. The sale includes deals on top titles such as Fallout 4, Halo 5, Black Ops III, Far Cry Primal, Rainbow 6 Siege and over 150 offers. In addition, there will be deals on several backwards compatibility games such as Fallout 3 and Just Cause 2, now playable on Xbox One.
I eagerly anticipate the disappointment that the discounts aren't as big as everyone hopes/wants.

I never did play Fallout 3 so I'd be up for a cheap deal on that.

Alan Wake, the Xbox Store bonus, will be available "within 7-10 days of Quantum Break’s release." Alan Wake's American Nightmare, the pre-order bonus, should get to you 7-10 days after your pre-order date.

http://www.dualshockers.com/2016/02/...-wake-bonuses/
First of all, if you buy the game on the Xbox store (whether you pre-order it or not), you get a copy of Alan Wake for Xbox 360, which will also work on Xbox One via backward compatibility. It will include both DLC The Signal and The Writer.

“Quantum Break includes full game download of Alan Wake, the Xbox 360 game playable on Xbox One, as well as The Signal and The Writer add-ons. The code for these items will be delivered to your Xbox Message center within 7-10 days of Quantum Break’s release. “

If you pre-order, you’ll also get a backward compatible copy of Alan Wake’s American Nightmare, for a nice and full Remedy Entertainment-themed package.

“Pre-order Quantum Break and receive Alan Wake’s American Nightmare, the Xbox 360 game playable on Xbox One. The code for this item will be delivered to your Xbox message center in 7-10 days. You can redeem the code on your Xbox One console or at xbox.com/redeemcode.”
