Has anyone had the £10 added to their account?

I checked my balance which I thought was at £0 but it was actually at £50 so I don't know what's happened. Not sure why I would have bought a £50 voucher to then get gears if I had enough in my account. :P

Today is the day of release and they have dropped the game down to £41.75.

any offers available for the 'ultimate' version?

have just bought the digital version today. On Chat they have confirmed the £10 voucher will be added to my Microsoft account release day, or day after latest.

Well aware of it buddy, I'm an xbox community ambassador.

My last post was meant in jest.
The post we were discussing should have been a reply to the previous one but I messed it up on my phone.

I've been gamesharing with a friend since I got my Xbox one. Although I seem to be the one buying all the games. Damn my game hoarding habits.

Looking forward to this game!

Bring on Horde 3.0!

£40 is too much for a game, or me at least, max i will pay is £30

I'm a little baffled by your reply because, generally, everyone knows what game share and Play Anywhere are. They're both based on DIGITAL purchases only. Play Anywhere is Microsoft's deal where, if you buy digitally, you get both Xbox One and Windows 10 versions. Game sharing is something very well known to the Xbox community at this point, too, as it's used to share games between Xbox consoles. It's used by a number of people, just like my link demonstrated (brothers sharing their games). And hey, Play Anywhere is the same as crossplay on PS4/PS3/Vita, too. Heck, even Nintendo has some crossplay digital titles.

Just to reiterate, if you buy physical games, you've never had the option to "game share" with any game company, except maybe random titles like Mario Kart, etc. etc. But, I guess those were more local-based sharing.

To be honest, reading your post back, it really sounds like you didn't know what P.A. was. Also, I didn't ignore "the first line" of your post. All it says is, "Only the disc version is £46.99." Sounds like you're just mentioning the price, for whatever reason. And your next line sounds like you don't think the game could be game shared or would feature play anywhere.

Honestly, you just didn't make it clear that you meant physical media can't be... uhm... shared :P Hmm...........

​Sorry if you ignored the first line of my post. What I was saying is that the disc version was the only version priced at £46.99 and cannot be gameshared and as far as I know the disc version is also not playanywhere.

If you somehow know of a way to gameshare a disc please enlighten everyone.

I think it's safe to assume Microsoft will not be giving a free digital copy away with every disc copy and the disc will not work in a pc so no playanywhere. Likewise if you know better please enlighten everyone.

Why would this not be able to be game shared?

I may have been able to get this for just over £30 for the Digital Copy! I managed to stacking a few offers, I'll reply later if the cashback is confirmed -

- Used a 5% off MS Store Promo - gave me £5 off! - getting it down to £44.99
- TopCashback are offering 7.07% Cashback on "Apps and Games purchases" - Not too sure if they will give me this due to the other 2 offers, but its worth a try!
- £10 Promo Credit (Contacted the live chat and they said I should still receive it)

Only the disc version is £46.99
This cannot be gameshared and to my knowledge will not have playanywhere.

It's a better deal now thst micro have knocked a few quid, wasn't a good deal earlier.

Is there a specific version you buy for pc? Or do you have to purchase the play anywhere version?

Sooooo, you're saying the voucher doesn't count?

your not getting it for 40 from microsoft. You pay 50 and get a microsoft £10 voucher

wuaki vouchers are cheaper than this deal, offers go on just about every 2nd day.

I got a £50 voucher for 40, many have got the deal for around 36-38

cdkeys

http://www.cdkeys.com/xbox-live/gift-cards-points/microsoft-gift-card-25-gbp-xbox-one-360

5% takes it down to 45.4.

The deal is now slightly better with xbox at 46.99

And suddenly, the goldfish fell silent.

How can you get it from Cdkeys for under £40?

True . Wuaki or cdkeys is still cheaper than this deal. Which you can still share.

Sorry but it's cold.

Is not better to buy physical for 40 quid and have 10 quid in pockets?

This deal was already posted and got cold votes, despite being cheaper.

This isn't really a great deal, wuaki.tv deal or cdkeysare cheaper.

Amazon / tests were selling the physical copy for 35.

This will be free on Gold in one year.

I didn't think so, thanks

From Microsoft chat:-

Rabel: at 17:15:15
you will get your GBP10 within 10 days after you have received the game.
Rabel: at 17:15:32
and the code will be sent to your email

Nope, just contacted support and they said you can't. Doesn't make sense really.

So you can use your Microsoft credit balance to buy this?

I contacted them and was told they come out in waves to your inbox on Xbox messenger thing after the game is released

Pre-ordered 2 weeks, so rang customer support and said I didn't get the code. 5 mins later they said they'll email me one. Thanks a lot! :smiley:

Or just wait for Wuaki to do £25 credit for £18 and then you can get Gears 4 digitally for £36?

Digitally Pre-Ordered on my Xbox One on Thursday. (So i'm probably not eligible on that technicality)
Just spoke to live chat and managed to get my £10 discount code.

It was a code for the online store so i used it to buy a £10 Xbox gift card and redeemed that to my account.

At first they tried to claim the deal ended a few days ago... I simply quoted the site showing it says the deal is until the 31st of October and that I had placed my order on Thursday.

YMMV but its worth a shot guys :smiley:

Does the digital pre-order version include all Gears of War that was on 360 for Xbox One? I know the disc version does.

I got this deal via online chat last night. Still says get £10 voucher if you follow the OP link.

Just rang MS support who said all who have already pre-ordered through MS store and Xbox.com will get £10 credit on there account on day of release.

no point me trying then

​no joy, was worth a try.

I have just had a chat conversation where I have been assured I will get a code, going to order now and see what happens

Do you get the Zombie dom skins with this pre order? I've pre orderded at GAME already.

Out of stock on anything digital is laughable, takes them seconds to generate millions of codes, could understand if it was a code printed on a card but as its digital it shouldn't be out of stock. More like Microsoft don't want to give any more £10 codes out

Tried to resist... not had my £10 yet tho

So after asking them to escalate and making it clear they were going to have to make an exception to get rid of me, they sent me a promo code to use on my next order.

Yes, they said they're out of stock of their own digital currency.

Did this with Recore then cancelled before they charged my PayPal once the reviews came in ...

from my conversation before i placed the order:

Adrian A.: at 11:28:27
Yes, you are right, you get a £10 store voucher . you will receive it in the confirmation message after
placing the order.
You: at 11:28:46
and that includes the digital version?
Adrian A.: at 11:29:01
Yes, it does.

im going to pass on this deal :disappointed:

Microsoft is out of stock of their own digital currency :laughing:

Has any one bought the digital copy and received the £10 code????
The site makes it seems like it is only available for te physical copy

As a side note I'm chatting to Microsoft support about getting the £10 code - the person I'm speaking to is being reluctant to give me the code.

You will see the 2 stars

That's fair, I don't usually pre-order games but I know I'll spend a worthwhile amount of time on the multiplayer.

Just bit the bullet on the Ultimate Edition, can confirm if you select download code it works on Windows 10. Pre loading now :smiley:

Good deal, have some heat. May get this and use the credit on ReCore or Forza :smiley:

Thank you, this seems like the deal for me then.

I want to be able to play this on PC and Xbox One, am I correct in saying if I choose the digital version through the Microsoft Store I will get both versions but the disk version will only work on Xbox One?

The guidance doesn't seem particularly clear.

If you buy digital, do you get the Windows 10 version included?

Do you have to spend the £10 on the same store where everything is £10 more expensive than elsewhere?

Yes they do, follow the link and there's options to buy standard or ultimate, digital or physical

They do

you can choose digital version

buy this with cheap credit from cdkeys/wuaki.
I've already pre ordered, will try live chat to see if I can get the extra credit.

This is the disc version.

MS dont sell digital on UK microsoft store website.

Just noticed then now do. My bad.
