Yeah, this is a thing, but don't get your hopes up, you get a gamer picture and a background that both have Microsoft and Xbox scrawled all over it, so nothing there. And to get the background you have to download it on your PC and then install via USB on the Xbox.
You also get the chance to download Halo: Forward Unto Dawn for free and I think you have 4 days to download it then you can keep it for 14 days, unless you start watching it, then you can only keep it for 48 hours. And it was free a few months ago anyway so anyone who wanted to watch it would've already.
There was also a personalised digital 'poster', basically just a green background that says thank you with your gamertag on, and I don't even think that that can be used on your Xbox.
It also says it comes with 'everything your need to decorate your profile to celebrate', which just sounds strange.
So yeah, typical Microsoft, I feel as though as their fans we are treated like idiots.

>year one adopters get some aesthetic stuff and the free version of a game released nearly half a decade ago >anybody gets this autumn's blockbuster new IP for a day, then it's slightly discounted for a weekend on the store This is exactly the sort of shit that makes people buy PS4s.
-
I got a game
-
I got one full season of Dragon ball Z free for 30days, And Limbo for free. Hey better than nothing.
-
I cannot complain because it is free......but I will never use any of the stuff. I have already seen FUD and DBZ is free in alot of places.
-
That's all you got? I got dbz stuff and the new movie
-
you mean the sunset overdrive giveaway? which is just stupid as i have the game -_-
-
They also are/were giving early adopters limbo for free when it's released. I only got the background stuff myself :/
-
So what's ps4's gift? Getting something is better than nothing
-
That's cuz XBOne sucks ass. I love Xbox 360, but ps4 is the better console this time around.
-
Tell me about it, Microsoft is terrible at making special gifts to players. I remember their 10th anniversary event, all they gave out to the majority of players was a single gamer pic. That's it. Utterly shameful, really.
-
Anyone else remember the new year glasses they gave as an avatar item?
-
Thanks Microsoft! I sure am glad I'm in the top 9%.
-
It's free crap and truly is crap so I'm not too bothered bout it. Much prefer my Lara croft wallpaper background anyway :)
-
They shouldn't have to give anything. :/
-
It's something.
-
I got a bunch of shit for Sunset Overdrive.
-
I got some platinum for Warframe too.
-
Ugh. I know. I can watch forward Untodawn on Netflix already why do I need to download it? Unless Netflix did something.
-
Sounds lame
-
They also gave dbz episodes and dbz battle of the gods the Japanese dub. It's pretty stupid
-
Can't anybody create their own backgrounds now? Pretty sure you can use any image off a USB.
-
Some one is an ungrateful twat. They didnt have to do anything. And what about the free copy of limbo?
-
Hi Im Swat
Hey, Tron. Downvote this. - old
Yeah, typical crap. -
The gamerpic is actually cool. I use it
