Can't get 360 games with gold.

Malacath · Mar 1, 2016

I am trying to get this months free 360 game. I have to do it on xbox.com because my 360 died.

Problem is I can't because I don't have a credit card registered.

I prefer using prepaid codes when buying stuff so don't need to have a credit card registered so why am I being forced to enter my credit card details for a game that is absolutely free?

Can't get games with gold

I have been purchasing xbox live for a while now and I can't, some reason, download any games that come free or any discounts that can be bought or downloaded with xbox live gold, I click on the game and it gives me the option of "Get Gold" but I've already
purchased it.

Cannot purchase "free" 360 games on Xbox one or Xbox.com

It has always been like that not unless there will be an update regarding in redeeming Xbox 360 games with gold on the website. Xbox 360 marketplace has a different structure than on Xbox One Store. Xbox 360 games with gold on the website will need a payment
method. In Xbox 360 console, you won't need one. Currently, you can't redeem Xbox 360 games with gold using Xbox One console and still under progress about redeeming Xbox 360 games with gold on Xbox One console. Either get the games using an Xbox 360 console,
or get the games on the website with a payment method.

The website has never been updated to work with the currency system for 360 content. So in order to purchase any 360 content through the website, even free content, it requires a payment method to be on file.

I wish they would just add 360 games to the xbox one store. Then I wouldnt need to use the website.

Although maybe I should just buy a new 360 before everywhere stops selling them. The backwards compatibility is turning out to be a disappointment as they only seem to be adding arcade games

There's an update coming soon that will allow that -

Well two things

First supermeatball boy was a xbox one arcade game not a 360

2nd you can't get the game for two reasons you aren't gold

If you are using home gold it doesn't apply to xbox 360 games

You need to do it from a gold account

Unfortunately the information given to you is incorrect (unless Microsoft changed that behavior).

If a person uses a shared Gold membership on a console, they can only use the Multiplayer benefits and party chat on that console.

The account itself is actually a free account, and therefore loses access to the Xbox One games with Gold.

An account using a shared Gold membership can't get Games with Gold, won't get Gold discounts on game purchases and other Gold benefits.

They can ONLY play multiplayer games and participate in Parties on the console that is sharing the Gold membership.

The Xbox 360 games will remain available, as the Xbox 360 system doesn't know how a "rental" license works and can't be revoked.

If you "bought" a Xbox 360 game as a Game with Gold, it will stay with you forever.

Xbox One games with gold cease to function if you are not a "real" Gold member. Shared Gold will not enable you to these games.

Hello!

Games With Gold games are only available on Xbox 360 and Xbox One and are only downloadable from the consoles, you can't get them any other way.

It can't come out on Games for Gold if it's not out on the Xbox 360.
