Xbox One: free game for those affected by hardware issues

4.5
Microsoft will give a free digital game to those whose Xbox One has gone on the blink,, allowing them to get some gaming in even without a functioning optical drive.

The news comes via an email from a Microsoft support representative published by Polygon.

“While a replacement console is on its way, we want to ensure our advance exchange customers can stay in the game. We will provide each of them with a free digital download of one of the launch titles published by Microsoft Studios,” the representative said.

Xbox One digital launch titles include Zoo Tycoon, Powerstar Golf, and Kinect Sports Rivals.

Microsoft has confirmed that a very small number of Xbox One units are experiencing hardware problems related to the optical drive, and promised to “take care” of those affected.

Honey-Badger Couldn't you just call them and tell them that your console has a problem and then get free games?
No, you send your xbox in and if they detect a problem they will send you a code for the game.
