Ignore that MS rep, obviously doesn't know what they're on about. I've enjoyed it for at least an hour this morning, so that's blatantly a lie. Whether it's removed or not, well that's a different story. :smirk:

Working for me too. Thanks OP. Any other games glitching on their system?
This is showing for free for me too. Includes the game and all DLC, inc season pass.

I'd like to see the floods of complaints from users who legitimately 'purchased' for £0.00 clicking 'buy now'. I can see trading standards getting a headache if that was so.

just tried and got a screen saying that I appear to have found a glitch in the system, please try again later.....nearly! thanks anyway
Illusionary
10 Jun 16#28
As a word of warning, it's very likely to be revoked - similar happened with the PSN season pass a few months ago. The screenshot won't really be any help if it is, I'm afraid.

10 Jun 16#44
Does anybody have any idea how they'll go about taking this off people? Will it be like the free game weekend games, where they change licences?
Spark
10 Jun 16#45
They'd just cancel the licence key at their end so when a console checks with live, the game won't load anymore.
sixshot
10 Jun 16#46
I went onto their website and brought it from there for free it didn't ask for card details double checked my Xbox it was downloading and made sure to check my account that no card details or PayPal was present

Nah. Still shows as 'play on' but then shows as unavailable on console.

Anyone get a receipt of any type?
Shows as purchased on the game page but nothing shows up on the payment and billing page and didn't receive any email confirmation.
Jonesy117
10 Jun 16#50
How does that not cancel the licence for legit copies though? Im not sure at all how digital games work, which is why I always stay away from them haha
fawkes99
10 Jun 16#51
no receipt,then again I never link any cards etc always use vouchers.
hotfinder
10 Jun 161#52
Just don't connect to Xbox Live then until you've completed it :stuck_out_tongue:
I guess people who downloaded it won't be able to play it then? Because they don't have the licence to play.

Snakeyes646

It's not legitimately purchased and so should be revoked.

Well i purchased it for 0.00 and confirmed it.. Pretty legitimate to me still confirmed product

Yes, that would work but only if you have set that console as your Home system.
If you're one of those dodgy, greedy, thieving game sharer types then it won't work.
Spark
10 Jun 161#71
Each user who buys it is issued with a single use licence key, just like windows, ms office etc. They just repeal all of the licence keys that haven't been paid for and that breaks the validation contract between the system and Xbox live.
It is very simple to do, trust me.
Spark
10 Jun 161#72
You don't get a receipt for free purchases Xbox. Ever. Same goes with Steam.
Only PSN and Origin do that.

Yeah hours ago...
Anyway this from a MS rep-
Unfortunately, those who took advantage won't get to enjoy their free games. “Those customers who were able to get the Fallout 4 deluxe edition for free will [have the game] be removed under their licenses automatically,” the representative said.
Snakeyes646

Same here. Played fine this morning. I also purchased the standard edition and all dlc as well as the season pass and deluxe edition. Hopefully even if they just revoke the licences for the deluxe edition, they won't bother with the standard game, season pass and DLC associated with it. If you really want to keep it forever without it being revoked, like I said before; disconnect your Xbox One from the internet FOREVER!
Spark
10 Jun 16#79
No, that's fine. That's what MS designed it for.
Snakeyes646
10 Jun 16#80
It would be kinda cool I suppose if ppl get to keep it (not too happy as I bought it digitally before release at full price) but can't see it happening!
BuzzDuraband
10 Jun 16#81
Seems a tad OTT :smile:
I think I'd rather just go out an buy it to be honest. But, if anybody is fine ceasing all internet activity to their Xbox One to play Fallout 4, then go for it.
kos1c
10 Jun 161#82
Think standard for xbox one was a tenner recently.
But you would only need to unplug the console for a couple of weeks. Complete fallout and go back to normal. :man:

anyone know how long it usually takes to revoke? assuming they do of course

Gah, we need to have an alert system to notify us of these glitches. :disappointed:

Your taking advantage of a glitch in the marketplace and that's braking the xbox code of conduct that you agreed to. if microsoft wants they could ban you and you xbox
StevenBrown
10 Jun 16#91
They could also make xboxs with a cup holder built in, that it also very unlikely to happen.
Its not like people had to exploit a loophole, just seeing a game is free and clicking buy will not get anyone banned

I've owned Fallout 4 for 7 months on PlayStation 4 and haven't even scratched the surface, it wouldn't just be unplugging the console for a couple of weeks :smile:
Like I say, I'd rather go out and buy the season pass.

With the mod release there's going to be tons more content added. It's a shame I played way to much right on the release week that I've killed the game for myself. :disappointed:

Our pricing error on Fallout 4 has been fixed and your free download will no longer work. For the inconvenience we will deposit $10 by the end of June in your Microsoft Account. This expires one year from the time it was deposited.
I can't argue with that! I wonder whether it'll actually be in USD, though.

$10 to spend. You end up spending more than that.
It was clearly a marketing stunt. They'll end up making loads of money from this.

No they won't. No one is forcing you to spend more than $10. Stop giving out and be grateful they even gave you anything to make up for the revoke.
