Microsoft Offering Free Xbox 360 Game With Purchase Of Windows Phone
With the release of Windows Phone 7, Microsoft has been pushing the idea of bridging the gap between their mobile and console platforms with features like Xbox Live Anywhere that lets you connect with friends on the online gaming service via phone. Now in an effort to attract 360 users to their mobile platform, Microsoft is offering a free game to folks who purchase a Windows Phone 7 over the holidays.
If you pick up a new Windows phone eligible for the offer (Samsung Focus, LG Quantum, HTC Surround, HTC HD7, or Dell Venue Pro) you'll get one free Xbox 360 game. Included in the offer are Halo: Reach, Fable III, Kinectimals, and Kinect Joy Ride. You can buy the phone from any retailer carrying these models. Offer ends December 31.
Will the sales associate hand you the game at time of purchase? Of course not. That's way too easy. To claim your game you'll have to submit a copy of your receipt, complete a form (available here), and the UPC. You can find all the glorious details here.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
