help MS sell 360s, get 10 free XBLA games

[ap0c]

Nicked from xbox360fanboy.com

Todo Juegos (translated) is reporting that Microsoft is planning a new promotion for Europe. Said promotion should run between November 1st, 2007 until January 31st, 2008. The gist of it is pretty simple. Just get a friend to purchase a new 360 at some point during the promotion, attach a copy of the receipt to a special coupon (PDF link), mail it in, and both you and your friend will receive ten free Xbox Live Arcade games. The games reportedly offered are:

• Sensible World of Soccer
• Sonic the Hedgehog
• Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting
• Bomberman LIVE
• Marble Blast Ultra
• Spyglass Board Games
• Small Arms
• 3D Ultra MiniGolf Adventures
• Assault Heroes
• Zuma Deluxe

Not a bad deal at all, especially if you're on the convincing side and not the purchasing side. We can't guarantee that the offer is real, but the coupon certainly looks legit. If any of our European readers have heard rumblings of this offer -- especially if you can find an English version of the coupon -- please let us know in the comments.

sounds like a lie to me, msoft is never this generous

[Ganty]

Buahaha, good stuff!

"Spend £200, and we'll give you 10 games you can download for free elsewhere!"

[ap0c]

Sounds dubious as I have been waiting for SWOS for aaaaaageeeeeesessss and its still not out yet *emocry*!

Anyhow, looked rather interesting so I thought I would let the DF masses check it out!

[DJAd]

Bit late now isn't it?

just bought an elite last week

[Fearless]

bah i already have 7 of them

[ZX7R]

I'm fooked then. I've managed to put off at least 5 potential customers from buying 360s when mine died a few months ago!

[Mario87]

IF it is true, then its a sign of MS getting desperate!!

Otherwise there would be no point in such an offer if the console is doing well!

[{{909}}]

Christ that is desperate, i don't actually believe it though, they seem confident they will do well this holiday

If any of you kind souls has got an Xbox 360 receipt dated between 1st October 2007 and 14th December 2007 then please send me a PM so I can give you my details and we can claim the free games. We have got until 14th December 2008 to send our entry.

Merry Christmas to all, I hope Father Christmas brings you lots of lovely gifts (preferably an Xbox 360 with a receipt, of course ).

Can't you scan your receipt & cut/paste the 12 from december over the 15..? That's what I would do. My printer is how I would copy things anyway, it's one of those 3 in 1 things. For that tip you could team up with me for the 10 free games

[bbshark]

could you do that if i scanned it and sent you?

[bbshark]

in fact i think ill have a pop at it later.

[beansontoast]

You should be alright using paint, if you get stuck pm me

[evilsatan]

Cheers for the link mate, I'm afraid I have someone to givem y games to (the person who bought my 360 so I could get my new HDMI version). I also have the receipt for the console Rap bought off of me so if someone wants to contact him you and Rap can have 10 free games each

[bbshark]

beansontoast will get the games if i get this scanned. Not got a scanner so gonna have to nip my mums.
