I was playing UNO and I got a Message from LIVE Saying that I got 400 MS Points and Free 3 Months of Live. They Added The 3 Months to my account. The Message did have the code. However, When I went to add the points.... The Message Automatically Deleted Itself? Did anyone get this message? What Should I Do? However, They should be able to scan my account. I haven't downloaded anything within the last 24-Hours and that was the "Toy Soldier Trial". Please Help! (Just Please Shut-up about the EPIC FAIL ****!) Here's the message: On April 15, 2010, we will discontinue the Xbox LIVE service for original Xbox games playable on Xbox v1 and Xbox 360. In our continuing efforts to evolve the service, we need to make changes to the LIVE service that are not compatible with original Xbox v1 games. What does this change mean for you? • It does not affect your ability to play original Xbox v1 games offline, but does remove LIVE connectivity and support for online multiplayer, leader boards, and other online features of these games. • We realize that you are an avid Halo 2 fan. Unfortunately, with this change, you will not be able to play Halo 2 on Xbox LIVE going forward. • Although it is difficult to say goodbye to Halo 2, the Halo franchise continues as the benchmark for multiplayer gaming in this generation with Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, and soon Halo: Reach. On the Xbox 360, you will continue to have access to the LIVE service where you can enjoy hundreds of other LIVE-enabled games. When will this change take effect?• April 15, 2010. What is Xbox LIVE doing for me? • To thank you for being a loyal Xbox LIVE customer, we are giving you a free, three-month LIVE Gold membership and 400 Microsoft Points for you to use as you choose on Xbox LIVE. • In addition, because you've been so loyal to Halo, we are inviting you to participate in the exclusive Halo: Reach Beta. How do I get these offers?• You will receive a token for 400 MS points. Check your Xbox LIVE account messages on the console. These points can be used for 365 days after you activate your token. • We are extending your Gold membership by three months automatically. The extension will be directly reflected in your LIVE account. • Finally, as the beta gets closer, you will receive an e-mail containing the code granting you access to the exclusive Halo: Reach Beta. Thank you for being a loyal Xbox LIVE member. Please visit xbox.com/support if you have any questions or for more information. The Xbox LIVE Team
Microsoft Offers Halo: Reach Beta, Free MS Points To "Loyal" Halo Players - Halo: Reach - Kotaku You seem to be the lucky thousands who benefited from being a "loyal" Halo gamer. The 3 month was automatically added to your account. Dunno about the points tho.
Only Halo game I havent owned was H:CE, so I'd like to consider myself one, especially with almost 20k games on Halo 3. Reading through some of the comments, some people out in Halo 2, and got the message... though that hardly sounds fair.
I have over 20,000 Games of Halo 3. Played it since 2007 - 2010. Own Halo:CE and Halo 2. Plus Halo 3:ODST and have spent over 1000 MS Points on All the Halo Avatar Clothes. Plus the fact that I also have Recon. Dude, I got something for being a No Life Loser..... Awesome!
I played all Halo games..... I also have Halo pajamas! And I kept a can of that Halo Mountain Dew stuff the were selling during the release of H3.
Thats actually really awesome of them to do such a thing. I don't ever think I've heard of a console giving away points and sub. time for the player being loyal and playing so long. Maybe by chance I just haven't heard of it or this is completely new to me. Grats to whomever received this.
I got that email Hopefully I can get the MS points next time I get online, I haven't been on in a couple days.
Ok 20,000 games dude thats alot atm i think i only have 5,000 and i play halo 3 quite alot, i play like 5 games a day because my internet has trouble finding matches for some reason, but once im in the game im fine. I don't have recon cause. 1. i don't really do the vidmasters achievements 2. i don't like the ammor 3. it's funny teabagging people with recon lol But anyway congrades to you
The people who got this message where people who actually PLAYED the original XBL games, and for the Reach thing, it was for people who played Halo 2 ALOT on XBL, Like me. I played like 75 games in the past 3 months. I got the Message I was ECSTATIC. Microsoft just saved me $60, I dont have ODST anymore and now I dont have to go get it. I AM GETTING THE REACH BETA YUSS. I am poor so the 3months is AWESOME. and the 400MP was cool cuz I got avatar stuff. Microsoft FINALLY GAVE SOMETHING AWAY. LE GASP
I honestly think you'll get this message if you've simply played Halo 2 online within these last 3 months or so.
I remember I beat up a kid because he made me drop my last can of the stuff. I got a 3-day out of school suspension for starting violence or somthing like that.
I got my Halo Mountain Dew can when I went to a trip to Ireland when I was like 11. When I was heading back home at the airport security told me I couldnt keep it. It was one of the saddest moments of my life D:
