Shame you had to have bought one before the 11th. If only I had gotten paid earlier.

That's actually really interesting, I like how they started giving games away on the 360. To bring it to the One for the first birthday is a great idea on their part.

Yaldi This is cool of them to do, I am however curious as to how many of the big prizes that lucky fans can receive will be given out. Just to see what the chances are of getting one. :)


I really do hope I get lucky enough to win one of them.
