LOL, the people who does not get anything, will probably be calling microsoft customer service to complain, because of this post by major nelson.

 
Welp, just clicked the link and read it.

That does not include me, as I tend to try to avoid clutter in my email. Oh well I guess. Might want to add that to the OP so that we don't get people confused as to why they didn't get the email.
 
they would probably have more sales if they gave an achievement with each xbox. call of duty bundle, sunset overdrive bundle.

NOW I am really intrigued considering I live in Indianapolis.

 
I was given one from when Microsoft was giving them to random XBL members last year, wonder if that comes into account...or did I use all my giveaway karma to get the system.

 
Why not until 11/22/2014? Anyway, I got mine on 11/13, but it'll probably still be sitting in the box well past 11/22 anyway, so...  :speaktothehand:

 
how do you tell if you have 10 hours on your xbox one, i bought one earlier this month (SSOD bundle) but dunno if i've really played more than 2 or 3 hours

Can't you opt in for the email now since they are sending out on Friday? That's what I just did

It says you had to have opted in for them before November 11th of this year, so I don't think that'd work. I opted in before I posted just in case, but I think I'm just out of luck.

If you bought an Xbone in the first year and get excluded from this because you didn't go find some box to check on an account you may have had for 10 years that would be incredibly awful.

 
Read the article/OP, folks.  It's simple. If you opted out of e-mails, the only thing you're missing out on is getting some bullshit e-mail from MS. It's not something to worry about. You still get the bonuses and are eligible for prizes if you've owned the console since before 11/11/14 and put in your 10 hours.
