Better to get in on the deal than not get it! You can always return it unopened if something better comes along before your internet is on.Yeah, I was afraid of that. It makes me wonder if I should wait to see if a better deal than free CoD Ghosts will come along at best buy in the next month before the movers coupon expires. Either that or I'll have a very pretty box to look at for the weekend.
No. Last month they announced them on the 30thHave they announced the Games with Gold for July yet?

Uhmm Max: The Curse of Brotherhood is being offered again for a second month and counted as 1 of the 2 games for July, isn't that kind of bullshit / false advertising?
Ok thanks, Was thinking about picking up Peggle 2 but wanted to make sure it wasn't gonna be free next month.http://majornelson.com/2014/06/26/xbox-live-games-with-gold-for-july-2014/?linkId=8635934

Or maybe in your case you are just a sheep and if Microsoft shovels you shit and tells you to eat it you just gobble it up and ask for more. Why don't you expect more than what the competition is giving especially when they charge more for the service? And why do you think it's okay for them to continue these deceptive practices? Because you're a fan of Halo? smhwhy don't you just sell your Xbox dude all you do is bitch and moan. They don't have to give you anything. Some people are just giant crybabies.
It's not entitlement when the company sets those expectations. Launching with 2 games when the competition announced they will be offering 2 games a month and then not as much as a peep when everything from gaming news to gaming forums is saying the services are now the same is allowing people to have those expectations. So I don't feel it's entitlement to have expected 2 games a month.What bothers me is the sense of entitlement that exists among some of us who act as though we are owed something.
Prior to last month GwG was not offered for X1. So unless you joined XBL last month, you don't have any grounds to stand on. I am not going to defend MS and their policies. Placing the terms of GwG in the fine print is bs and I say this as a lawyer but this goes back to my original point. They don't understand what PS+ really stands for and why people appreciate it.It's not entitlement when the company sets those expectations.

Staggering means Max goes from June-July, Guacamelee goes from July-Aug, unannounced title goes from Aug-Sep always giving the appearance of 2 free games a month. However if max was just a 1 off and they give 1 game a month and it is only available for 1 month then that is different, but nobody seems to know for sure exactly how they are doing it.I don't think you know what staggering means. They had two games last month and one this month. That's a release two months in a row. 360 has also had releases every month. As far as the two games, they said up front that it would be two games to kick off then go to one game a month. Could they have corrected it when press got it wrong? Sure. But maybe you should be passed at "journalists" for getting their article out for clicks rather than doing a little fact checking.
Even MS has no idea.. as someone mentioned, GwG is reactionary to PS+. Sony presently has a bit more going for it on the value-added realm. And that could change any month.However if max was just a 1 off and they give 1 game a month and it is only available for 1 month then that is different, but nobody seems to know for sure exactly how they are doing it.
Sorry but this is no longer the case, the free games are a staple of both services now, and anyone paying for either service has every right to complain if it's not meeting their needs and expectations contrary to what several sheep seem to suggest.the games are free for paying to play online
I believe it was announced that it's only 4 days later, so not bad if you're stuck playing it on the Xbox Onelooks like 360/x1 will be getting destiny beta late july about a week or so after sony systems
i agree they do have the right to complain but with system's just launching even more so with x1 microsoft don't have much to pick from for the free games. You can't give launch titles this early maybe come fall i would guess we start seeing retail games for free on ps4 and x1. Until them we are stuck with small slection of indie/arcade games.Sorry but this is no longer the case, the free games are a staple of both services now, and anyone paying for either service has every right to complain if it's not meeting their needs and expectations contrary to what several sheep seem to suggest.
This isn't necessarily aimed at you, but I find it funny that on one hand people say the PS4 has no games and the Xbox One has the best library, but then these same people are trying to give Microsoft a pass on their inferior GwG offerings because they don't have the library the PS4 has.i agree they do have the right to complain but with system's just launching even more so with x1 microsoft don't have much to pick from for the free games.

How is it, then, that PS+ managed to land Strider, but GwG didn't? Why Max another month?both systems at this point has weak game lineup it looked great on paper but alot of the games turned out to be not so great.
Because entitlement. Also most of the people complaining are the Sony squad who complain at every opportunity. Rippn had really been reining it in until recently though. He is also flipping out in the XBLA thread, which is funny but sad to see.^ there is a game FREE on RELEASE DATE. How can people be complaining. Jesus Christ.
I think the only "Sony squad" person who is even really complaining is Rppn?Because entitlement. Also most of the people complaining are the Sony squad who complain at every opportunity. Rippn had really been reining it in until recently though.
People get too defensive about the use of the word entitlement but in this instance it fits the bill to a T. IMO, It would helpful if we all came to an understanding as to what we are paying for. We agree to pay for a service (XBL and PS+) which is "necessary" for online play along with this service we are offered the promise of discounts and "free" games. However, we have no actual knowledge of what goods we are getting in return. The only promise Sony/MS ever made to us in return for our money was that we would be given "free" game(s) and discounts but we have no input over what or how many games we are being offered. So, to then complain about the quality of the games sounds like entitlement. There is a key difference between stating your opinion about the service vs demanding better games. The good news is that this problem can be easily remedied by choosing with your wallet and opting not to pay for a service that is not to your liking.I love how my complaints are only because Sony is my preferred console and has absolutely nothing to do with the actual issue at hand. smh Or maybe I'm pissed because I was deceived and reupped Gold for a year for the first time since 2009 based on Microsoft's continued deception and poor communication. And don't act like you all knew it was 1 game on the Xbox One, everyone was talking about how they matched PS+ and were guessing what "two" games would be coming next month. There are several other people in the thread not pleased who have nothing to do with the Sony threads so nice attempt at a deflection. Why don't you browse the web a little and you will see plenty of pissed off people. However it is funny that it is only the Microsoft fanboys that are the ones trying to justify this and continue to throw around the word "entitled." And for the record I would be just as pissed at Sony if they pulled this sleazy BS.
Also note: Guacamelee is not a new title, it's been out since last year on PC and PlayStation. That would be like playstation fans acting like PvZ Garden Warfare was a brand new title when it comes out on PS4 in August.
No, no they don't, he is mad because honestly we were promised a certain number of new games each month by Sony, they have never carried over a new game to a second month(evergreen titles just being year long extras that didn't count as the 6 or 7 titles. He is complaining that MS made people believe that they would get two Xbox 360 and 2 Xbox one games a month. Next month they are only giving three with Max carrying over. Everyone should have gotten Max already so it is not another game like promised.Sony does pull the same thing. You just don't bitch about it. They rotate games out in the same fashion. As for one game a month, it was in the tos as well pointed out in this very thread I believe a few weeks back. I'm not saying Microsoft shouldn't have been more clear, but you make it sound like they are the only ones to do that which makes your bias blatantly obvious.
I agree, and I apologise, but I feel some people still aren't understanding.P.S. As I've stated ad nauseam in this thread, I agree that hiding the terms of GwG in the fine print is total BS.
Yes, Sony would let some games stay longer than a month, in fact some where there for a year, they were called "instant game collection," however never did these games have any effect on what was offered the following months, but I guess maybe that's where the confusion is coming from?I always thought they rotated games out. At least prior to the PS4 additions. I couldn't exactly find it spelled out anywhere in their FAQ like you make it sound, but it could be out there. Oh its about transparency? Well yeah Sony is totally transparent aren't they?... Microsoft did say they were doing bonus games in June for the anniversary of Games With Gold. They did this on 360 as well. Did everybody assume we were getting three games on 360 all of a sudden? No.
As you can see they were very specific and clear that you were getting a bonus game on the 360, nowhere is this verbiage used for the Xbox One Games with Gold. And when they have given 2 games a month on the 360 and the competition announced you will be getting 2 games a month per platform, granted it was after this press release that Sony made those changed, but at no time did Microsoft try to correct the messaging, it's no wonder everyone believed it was 2 games a month for the Xbox One, hence the anger and disappointment being expressed by many.Free games with Games with Gold**.
