Didn't a load of xboxs get banned for doing that sort of thing a year or two ago?

No idea what you're referring to. Any links?

I actually read it here somewhere. People changed their location for games, the result was Microsoft banning consoles (not gamers) and a fleet of 360s ending up on donedeal etc. I vaguely recall itbut that's the gyst of it iirc.. I'm sure someone here can remember better than me

Oh yeah that's where you confused me. It's region free since xbox one came out, you can use away on other markets without risk of being banned.

Here's 360 case you mentioned: http://www.kotaku.com.au/2013/10/xbox-360-owners-banned-for-downloading-free-games/

Its not risk free, just FYI. Its not currently actioned but it is a direct terms of service violation.

I think they are on the console - not in front of one now. Basically loc fraud is a nono but at the moment its not actioned, probably because its a sneaky one up on the ps.

It's definitely in the terms somewhere, I've linked to them before

Ah it doesn't matter. I just wanted to see how it was worded exactly but it's not going to stop my World tour of Holiday Inns anyway

If I remember right its deliberately vague and they have banned in the past for it, or things very close. It comes down to licensing.

Not trying to be preachy BTW, I think the risk is low. Just figured its worth mentioning

They never banned for it on the 360 once you paid. I got console banned for getting free games from Oman and Bosnia.

Same root, its a licensing issue. The post above is about a free gwg.

Rorok

What do you guys think the gwg will be for November, im guessing mirrors edge (new one coming out), dying light or sunset overdrive or dead rising 3 (zombie themed and halloween) , also son or Ryse (think thats what its called)

Pedro Monscooch

Ryse is a running joke at this stage but I've read some rumours of it coming in November. In an ideal world, Master Chief Collection and Halo Reach. But in that ideal world we also have flying cars.

Best prediction I have is we'll get games I already own and paid full price for.

My money is on lococycle being one of them, was free in japan i think this month.

GwG in the holiday season has traditionally been mostly poor, but with backwards compatibility coming out you'd think they would give away some big ones. Also as they own it and its so massive with the kids I predict Minecraft.

Won't be mine craft, most 8 yr olds have that already, it'll be terreria or rocket league if thats on xbox one. Something that all the great youtubers like pewdiepew and smosh are playing (that last sentence was sarcastic)

Well the Halloween theme your going for they've done with the walking dead being free.

Sunset overdrive still sells for a decent amount in shops and online so def can't see that being free any time soon if ever.

I'd also say lococycle will be one of the freebies.

Anyone know when they're going to announce the games with gold titles for November for the 360?

rottie 11

Dying light would be sweet. No chance tho

Probably Wednesday I'd say, but it could be any day now.

tkd93

I reckon thief then dead rising/ryse.

deco nate

The good thing is we are getting to the age of the consoles life that we will be getting the games named above, sooner rather than later, fingers crossed.









Ps, I still think ryse will be gwg in December

Rorok

They usally announce the gwg on the last thursday of every month
