Some Xbox One early adopters are going to get a bunch of free goodies from Microsoft as the console celebrates its first anniversary this weekend. Microsoft is giving away free movies, themes, games and consoles to its more dedicated fans.

To celebrate the Xbox One's birthday on Nov. 22, Microsoft is handing the following digital goods:

A Year One Gamer Picture
New Xbox One backgrounds: A special Year One background as well as an exclusive Day One background for those who unlocked the Day One achievement
A Year One background image
A free rental of Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn
A free rental of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods movie and a sampler pack of Dragon Ball Z TV episodes (U.S. and Canada only)
To receive those freebies, you'll need to have purchased an Xbox One before Nov. 11, 2014 in one of the console's 13 launch markets. You'll also need to be at least 17 years old and have 10 hours of Xbox One usage.

Microsoft is also handing some physical goods to lucky fans, including the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Sunset Overdrive Xbox One bundles, a Forza Horizon 2 Limited Edition Casio G-Shock watch and retail copies of Killer Instinct Season 1. A bunch of digital goods, like Xbox Live subscriptions, copies of Dance Central Spotlight and in-game goods for games like Grand Theft Auto 5, Assassin's Creed Unity, Peggle 2 and more.

They should make a huge game sales like Steam does
Like Christmas Sale up to -90% (on GREAT games not games like on Games with Gold)

I've been playing Xbox since 2006 and still going on
But i have no money to buy Xbox One *sniff*

Console
Inq Looking forward to this. I should get all of these because I got my xbox one months ago.


Getting your xbox one months ago doesn't mean sh*t, So I got mine at launch does that mean I automatically get all this plus $100, NO, It means you have a small chance of getting the psychical stuff, But to get any of it you had to have the xbox at launch. so you won't get anything. sorry


Noticed it said "before Nov. 11 2014" meaning you can get all the digital stuff for free before coming off so rudely to another individual you should check what you say
