Yeah, I couldn't understand why I already had it. It's not a game I'd ever buy, even in a massive sale, so it must have been that Games with Gold.

Same here, was just about to post and refreshed the page first, see I'm not the only one! I wonder if we'll see more of these in the future...

Don't forget the free Kayne & Lynch character pack along with Lara Croft!

Can't post link atm, apologies!

When I try to claim it, gives the old "try again later" message. Have never had an issue playing a region locked digital copy if I managed to download it through VPN, although I rarely bother to DL.

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon
SUPER BOMBERMAN RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Assassins Creed Rogue
Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

I'd been looking at Bomberman for ages, but never bought it because they were clearly taking the absolute **** with the pricing on this.

Very happy with bomberman aswell. Great game.

is that bloodstained game essentially a demo for that new castlevania type thing?

It is a reasonably short game that plays like the older Castlevania games and serves as a prequel to the main game.

I think the old Xbox Star Wars game is the best of the lot.

Rest all have mixed/average reviews.

Xbox og backwards compatibility also disables rose tinted glasses.

Got rogue and ended up being charged €19.99 for it even though it's showing up as free with gold.
Have contacted Microsoft about a refund but they're saying it's not eligible for a refund.

Any other ideas??

That's bad, it is currently €15 for the Xbox One version.

Can't seem to buy it myself on http://xbox.com atm, says it's not available on Xbox One and to go to the website or use a 360 to purchase....

It's definitely free. Get back in touch with them, they gave me a refund for Assassin's Creed Unity so you should be fine.

Give them a call again, it'll all depend on who you get on the phone, some people are super knowledgeable about their job, others...... not so much.

EDIT: Also, make sure to play up the current issues with Xbox Live, as that most likely had some effect on it. Pretty sure that's what's causing the issue that sniper_samurai is talking about.

All I had done was send an email or refund request through the website after filtering through what felt like 100 different links.
Any ideas of a general number to call because I just can't seem to grasp the Microsoft site

CatInABox

Yeah, they're usually better with the phone, chatting to an actual person.

Go here, then click "Show Contact Options", and you can request a call then. Even the chat could work, they're also good.

SUPER BOMBERMAN R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Yes, I'm still excited about this. It's not the same without a multitap and 5 people huddled around an old hand-me-down CRT, but still....)

Better than being huddled around a Switch. Great fun in multiplayer, game is garbage in single player. I remember when Bomberman games had a reasonable single player mode.
