Just a quick question, I presume you can't attach these free One games to your account if you don't have a One can you? Like how PS+ works, you 'buy' the content via the site...

You can via xbox.com.

I've been attaching them to mine, whether I'll be able to play them when I finally get a One or not I'm not sure but it definitely lets you "purchase" them at least.

I'm not sure, I've got free games via the Microsoft site before and then downloaded them when I got home but don't know if you have to have a console connected to your online account in order to do this.

PS. Motocross Madness and Dishonored will be available to gamers on the Xbox 360.

Wouldn't you also have to have a paid up Xbox Live account or they'd disappear each month?

Gah! Trying to buy it there via Xbox.com using the gold account. I stupidly set up that account with my sons real age (thinking I could monitor what he plays), & apparently purchasing with child/teen accounts isn't currently available. I looked in his privacy settings on the console, & purchasing of content is set to 'on'.

If you have a gold account when you purchase it, the you will be ok. It'll be listed as one of your games.

On Xbox one, if you want to play it at a later stage you will need a valid Gold account (or a console with Home Gold) to play the game.

I paid 19.99 for Strike Suit Zero when it came out during a spate of boredom

No way it was worth it, it's kind of like zone of enders. I found it difficult due to controls not feeling right and hard to work out what was going on at times.

Dishonoured.... Having just been in the Ultimate Game Sale.... Now from what I've heard, I wasn't exactly robbed getting it for five or ten quid whatever it was, but seriously, even when they're giving away recent and critically acclaimed games they're pissing me off!

I think Dishonored might be the first GwG that I havn't played and actually want!

Bit of a prediction, far cry 3 has been in the sales a lot lately too, I bet it'll be free before the 4th one drops.

Can you get a 24 hour gold pass and get these games?

I dont think so, it has to be at least 1 month.

I'm happy with Strike Suit Zero. Was gonna buy it at launch but couldn't afford it. Wonder if well get Assassin's Creed next month?

Major Nelson mentioned in a podcast that you can do this and then just download them all once you get an Xbox One so you shouldn't have any problems

Meh... Wasn't too gone on it tbh... The UI is clunky, it handles like **** and whatever way the view or movement is, it feels slightly disorientating... Anyone else get that?

Strike Suit Zero and Crimson Dragon for Xbox One, MotoCross Madness for 360 - I never bother searching on dashboard as it's such a pain to navigate or find anything, always log in online and queue for download much easier.

Hi guys,

Motocross Madness is showing up for 9.99 even though i have an active gold account.

Any reason for that?
