Xbox One promo offers $75 voucher for 360 upgraders

4.4
Microsoft is offering $75 in online credit to encourage certain US Xbox 360 owners to upgrade to Xbox One.

The deal was spotted by NeoGAF user BeforeU, who posted images of a promotion appearing on the Xbox 360 dashboard. It offers a $75 promotional code with the purchase of an Xbox One system or bundle from a Microsoft Store or "local retailer".

According to the fine print, the offer is only applicable to Xbox Live account holders who receive the notification on their Xbox 360 console, and only in the US. The promotion lasts through the end of July.

This credit can be used to purchase games, add-on content, or any other items available via the Xbox marketplace, meaning customers who make use of the deal can download their first full-priced game for free with some credit to spare.

Microsoft says that Xbox One's July update, which adds Snap functionality to the achievements app, will arrive "in the coming days".

This is a very good idea from Microsoft. If I did not already buy the X1, I would buy one now.

Hei Seriously? why not GIVE us Gold Members actual games with gold instead of S***y arcade games? Xbox One owners feel like WiiU owners now since PS4 is basically taking all the First Party Exclusive games and Xbox One still relies on 3 party games, which might I add look worst on the Xbox One. So basically PS4 literally makes Xbox One look like an Extremely worst console to choose from out of the two.


Seriously. The Games with Gold was so lame this month. Who the **** wants to play Battleblock Theater? And nobody flame me saying you shouldn't complain about free shit, because if your paying for Gold, you want the most out of it. Here's for hoping Far Cry 3, L4D2, or Skate 3 is one of the free games in August.

You obviously don't know that Sony gave out shitty games when they announced PS+. By next year, Xbox One is going to have amazing games for Free Games with Gold.

I wish this was offered when I bought my xbox one, would have given me more incentive to give up my 360.

Sounds like an awesome deal, if I didn't have the Xbox One yet I would probably buy it now so I could also get the $75 voucher. You can buy a game on your Xbox One right when you get it with the $75. Also, I'm excited to see how the Xbox One July update will turn out.

Teezla Its about time they (Theoretically) Lowered the price of this console.

Hate Xbox One anyway so I don't care HAH


Comments like this is what starts huge console wars that get people in trouble over petty personal preference. The consoles are quite literally almost the same, it is whatever the user prefers to use.

However, I do agree that the price of this console is or was should I say a little to high.
