Xbox Live Day One Subscription Steelbook

[Cosmic_Link]

Not sure if this is available elsewhere, but I got the link in an email from GAME for pre-ordering my Xbox One from them. I know I'm a sucka for pre-order an Xbone, but what can ya do?




Pre-order link

That's both a cool idea and a terrible idea

Not sure I consider it a VG steelbook or not

It technically has a code for Killer instinct but I thought that was FTP anyways?

Or is it a code for the full content version of KI?

Yeah, I kinda like the idea, and though as it is kinda related to video games, I thought people might like to see! XD

I didn't intend to get a live membership with my XB1, was hoping my current live would carry over. This is a nice incentive for me, but is driving the price of the console, games and accessories up all the more...

I think it'll be a full DL code, but I wasn't sure, so chose not to comment on it. lol

Hmm it's inline with MS other Day One Editions and just echoes their push to get high pre-order numbers at any cost imo

Still can't stand the day one edition achievement

Guess I could always sell the 1 year of live or something unless it'd work on my 360?

Yeah, that was what I thought when I first saw the announcement for the day one edition console. MS trying to tug at collector's heart strings. lol Seems to be working on me which is quite annoying!

As I said, I'm still hoping my current live will carry over. Bought 12 months in April, so will still have about 5 months of live left by the time get XB1.

I'm going to assume that live Subs will be active on your account and and won't be locked to specific platforms... hopefully...

I believe subscriptions do carry over. I read something about it a few weeks ago, but can't remember where. But when I read it, I breathed a sigh of relief, that's why I remember xx

yeah it does carry over

ms love a good old milk of the cow

This really bothers me

I don't want to support MS's Day One shenanigans

Plus I don't know if its a true video game steelbook as it has a download code in it and furthers their desire for digital games which will more than likely kill collectibles like steelbooks at some point

Honestly I think I have to pass on this steelbook

Maybe i'll just give up collecting xbox steels

I really can't stand this

Oh wow! 0.0

My first thread in the steelbook sub section of the forum and I destroy somebody's want to collect Xbox steelbooks! XD

I'll avoid posting anymore steelbook threads from now onwards!! XD

Anyway, I agree with you on the digital content thing. I already don't support DLC and when games go completely digital, companies will no longer get any money from me and I'll be thousands of pounds better off each year!
