The Games Giveaway Thread

I've been thinking about this since you brought it up, and I'm still kinda torn about the whole thing. There's good reasons to bring in a limit, and there's good reasons not to as well.

I don't particularly like the "drive by" code taking, but I also don't want to simply stop people from participating just because they may be a lurker, rather than a regular poster. What if getting a code from here is what starts someone posting in the Xbox forum? As I said, I'm still torn.

As it is, I'd prefer not to put any "official" rules on this, but I also won't stop anyone from putting those limits on anything they give away, after all, it's their code, they can pretty much do what they please with it.

So, if you're giving out a code, if you want to put a limit on it to Xbox forum regulars/people that participate, just mention it in the post. How does that sound to everyone?

Yea I wasn't to sure on it myself. The way I was looking at it is if a regular poster in the Xbox Forum missed out on a code to a new user/drive by just because the new user happened to spot the code first I'd feel hard done by.

The Xbox Forum is full of great posters and everyone is willing to help and we've a great little community here, so a thread like this is great where we can help each other out.

Right so, we'll leave it at that, I'll keep an eye on how this thread is going and get more feedback from everyone to keep it ticking over, but for now, people can run there own giveaways without any rules, or with whatever rules they want.

Thanks everyone!

p.s. You're right emmetkenny, we do have a great little community here!

I'm new to this part of boards as I'm switching over from the dark side (ps4) to the one s in Tuesday.

Really appreciate the Alan wake code I got here the other day.

I would understand if people didn't want to give codes to posters that didn't contribute much to the forum but hopefully going forward I will be a lot more active on here.

I have an Alan Wake + add-on packs code if anyone is interested. Playable on XB1.
Please don't ask unless you intend to play it and not just add it to your backlog.
First 5 requests and I'll do a draw.

Me too :-) That's why I put it up here.
I was hoping it might be helpful for new recruits.

wotzgoingon

I would be interested in that. Cheers.

I was debating with myself about whether I would enter this, as it would be a couple of months at least before I got around to it, so technically I would be adding to my backlog, but with full intention to play before christmas time.

For a totally different reason, I checked my ready to install list, and there's both Alan Wake games.....

So, yeah, I shouldn't enter this at all.

Lucious Sweet

We all have backlogs and I know that there are some games on my list that will never be played. I'm thinking Thief for one.
But if someone want's to add this to their backlog but genuinely plans to play it at some stage, then by all means stick your name in the hat.
I just don't want it to go to waste like it would have done had I installed it.

The pain of the backlog... When I was younger I'd feck all games to play and all the time in the world. Now I'm an adult I've loads of games and feck all time to play

Don't need myself but it's a fantastic opportunity for someone to try the game and you could buy the destiny collection upgrade and have all the expansions very handy.

Love that game! good on you emnetkenny!
