check out the above link there seems to be a lot more games




CREDIT GOES TO Player Zero from Gamefaqs forums and many others. YMMV maybe on some things.

Now that the marketplace is on the internet, and no longer confined to the 360, I think it is possible for everyone to download content that used to be given out with access codes. For example, I have the Call of Duty: World at War "Day 1 Tactical Edge" downloaded to my 360. I used a code from GameStop to get it. But, since the marketplace is available to everyone, everyone can download it!

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/offers/0ccf0001-0000-4000-8000-00004156081c

At least, I hope so. Could someone post here and let us know if this works?

If so, I think we should start posting links to all the content that was only available through codes...

[dux]

wow i just downloaded the golden lancer for free!! the code is going for 20-50 on ebay.
Thanks!

[dux]

Banjoo game says it cost 1200 points

[Aj23]

I tried to get L4D, but in the end after confirming, I got the "error, offer not vailid in your region." Oh well.

[p1mp]

lol, i didn't know there were other files to be had, I thought it was only the Lancer.

Lumines doesn't work though :(

[game_fanatic]

Thanks OP, downloaded the gold lancer as well!

[mahjongmaniac]

I tried to get L4D, but in the end after confirming, I got the "error, offer not vailid in your region." Oh well.

same here?...

anyway, d/l'd the golden lancer... thx OP :D

[Apal]

thanks OP
got the golden lancer for my other accounts:lol:

[parapudaw]

Nice! Thanks OP!:)

[Jouvert]

Thank you.

updated with more info

[Rurouni_Kamikaze]

Sweet, free gold lancer. Thanks OP.

[Netcruzer]

WOOT, free gold lancer for me. :) Thanks OP.

[Super strokey]

i cant get banjo to work, i really want that too

[ChicoQuente]

thanks for the info! Glad to have the gold lancer

[p1mp]

i cant get banjo to work, i really want that too

I don't think it was meant to be free, I see it up for 1200 points.

[Duuuuude]

Thanks riskit! I was able to redownload one of the Lumines packs that is no longer available, along with some other goodies... :)

[feelthedeal]

Thanks OP! Got the lancer

[bkbkbk]

I don't think it was meant to be free, I see it up for 1200 points.

same thing here

"You do not have enough Microsoft® Points to complete this transaction. Click Add Microsoft Points to add points to your account."

too bad.. it's the only standalone game in the OP's list

[Corizzle]

It's not free, the reason it's on the list is you can't even buy it for a week and a half on the 360 Marketplace, it's only available to people who pre-ordered the new Banjo until December 1st.

Title is a bit misleading, the point of the topic is finding stuff that is not currently accessible on the 360 Marketplace but safeguards haven't been added to the recently released website version. Just happens that MOST (not ALL) of the stuff found has been free. If you want any of this you better act fast, I don't see these lasting to the weekend

[Super strokey]

ahh, makes sense. Title had me all excited lol

[Duuuuude]

One more thing, it's actually pretty cool to see the "Active Downloads" window on my Xbox start getting populated with download content seconds after I click it on my PC. ;)

[rvd]

Can't download the gold lancer, I get two different errors. COD worked though.


Error
An error has occurred during the transaction. Please try again later.



Error

[summer_star17x]

thanks op

is there any way to get the golden hammerburst as well?

[Late Night Merchant]

None of the free stuff works for me. It keeps sauing: Error you do not have permission to download this item. :( Can anyone help?

[I am XeNo]

^ Thats probably because you have a child account of some sort or your privacy settings are blocking it.

Also, thanks a lot OP!

Thanks. It was some sort of privacy settings when I checked, managed to get Lancer thanks OP.

[jonkaho]

thanks, downloaded the lancer!

[spyd4r]

if you obtained the free lancer you can probably also now sign up to get the hardcover book replacment for Canadians ;)

worth a shot anyways ;)

2 of your links are busted

hey guys,

anyone know how to get the map pack for GOW?

Listed as 99999 M$ points, won't work

[nitroblu]

won't abusing this stuff possibly get ur account banned?

[Late Night Merchant]

2 of your links are busted

Fixed. Sorry bout that

[spyd4r]

won't abusing this stuff possibly get ur account banned?

how is this abusing... it's their insecurity.. this is just like if you were browsing and bought it without knowing..

[jmgk]

Thanks OP.

I wish I could just get the Fable 2 content... stupid 9999 points

[Viper98]

isn't this stealing?

stealing implies that the item you are taking had any value in the first place

[Sephora]

Thanks OP, got the COD stuff and a couple themes.

Missed out on the L4D demo though, since my box is in repair, and the link for it in the OP isn't good for Canada.

[doylie]

SWEET Thanks OP got the Gold Lancer

nothing else seems to be available in my area though.

[neksus]

Golden Lancer says not available in my region?

edit - tried twice more and it worked.

[kleptodathief]

so all u guys r gonna get banned from xbox live now??? j/k

[chenwaa123]

Thanks OP...this is why I love RFD!

[Kalvster]

Wow... this is nice. A $200 Xbox, and now this! What a great deal. :twisted:

[buddhaboy12]

Free Gold Lancer! Sweet!

Nice find OP.

Edit: Just a thought... the regular lancer is gunna be so rare now ;).

[Velocity]

yeah thx for the golden lancer and the preorder bonuses for World at war.

[Dougmoto]

thanks op grabbed banjo kazooie a couple weeks early :D

[DFS 360]

Did you pay for banjo kazooie?

I got it for free and early by buying nuts n bolts

[CenturySam]

i am done downloading it , do i get it right away or do i got to wait 48 hours ?

[DFS 360]

stealing implies that the item you are taking had any value in the first place

Apparently by the amount of people stealing these items, it DOES have some sort of value to them.

And if it doesn't have value, it says alot about those stealing them. Similar to a man stealing tampons just because he can...

[huyzel]

dammit... the gold lancer I got with my limited edition GoW2 isn't special anymore.

[chopchop330]

Thanks OP, very nice find :lol:

it's not stealing

the item is up there for anyone to take

[mdc3000]

I don't understand how this is considered stealing. These items are on the online marketplace and are free. If you needed a code, you'd be prompted for the code - if they had a value, you'd have to pay points to download it. Seriously, I'm a pretty moralistic guy but no way is this considered 'theft'.

[DFS 360]

So are tampons on the shelf of shopper's drugmart, ultimately it is up to the individual to decide whether or not to steal them.

Oh don't play stupid, someone found a URL hack to get promo items normally only available to insiders, reviewers, pre-orders, etc. They are not meant to be accessed.

nuh uh

The microsoft webpage has no price on this lancer, it's FREE on their page

is that what this is?

a url hack?

this is not the only webpage where i found this information, it's spread all the net now

it's a virtual item anyway, virtual things can be copied with nothing actually being lost in the process so one way or another it's not a big deal

I've heard that argument before, but it is the owner's revenue that is lost, not to mention morality.

If you didn't pay for something that wasn't a gift, it is stealing. Didn't your mom teach you anything? She taught me a few things last night! peace out, scammers, thieves, and cheapskates. Get a job.

[Firestorm]

Meh downloading the free stuff that you missed because you didn't get a code at some point in time isn't stealing really. Now if Banjo was free you'd all be going to hell >=O! It's a great game. I pre-ordered to get my code early! Nuts & Bolts is still sealed >_>

Yea but those have a price indicated on them. I don't see how this is any different then taking the item to the check out till and the item ringing in at $0.00.

having trouble trying to get the GOW2 theme or the Gold Lancer..

Get the following error. An error has occurred during the transaction. Please try again later. Been getting the error for over 10-20 tries already.

Perhaps it's the RFD and SD effect?

You sign into your gamertag on the website, and then when you next sign in on a 360 it will start downloading.

Deal is DEAD

[DFS 360]

There wasn't a "deal" to begin with. The "deal" according to a canadian microsoft brand manager I spoke with, is that anyone foolish enough to download promotion codes through partner authorized URL links will be lucky if they only get a 7 day ban per download. Enjoy your shiny "valueless" virtual heist!
I guess you folks didn't know I am a microsoft MVP, in addition to being a moron.

ratting people out is a great way to make friends!

I wouldn't be friends with scamming thieves and I'm pretty sure you guys ratted yourself out by posting it all over the ****ing WORLD WIDE WEB. (but I'm the moron)

[always]

Quite amusing, microsoft makes a mistake and now a certain microsoft mvp is out calling everyone who took advantage of it scamming thieves instead of saying "we made a mistake. it shouldn't have been there in the first place."

better being a scamming thief then someone who knows nothing about PR i guess. and calling a bargain hunting community cheapskates? lol...

[randomdef]

yes you are.

[DFS 360]

Yes, it is my fault you stole something. I should've warned you that doing something foolish and immature and irresponsible would probably not end well.

I paid for my golden lancer. I paid for my Banjo Kazooie. I pay for things that I want to have. That is how things work outside your self involved, thieving, internet based **** for brains world. And for that I pity you.

BTW, I do not work for or represent Microsoft, I am an MVP and as such, do get access to perks like the new Dashboard early, etc. I do not get these petty downloads for free.

[ChopSuey]

Someone please close this thread. :) It's turn into a rant and this wasn't a deal to begin with.

BTW, anything you did wrongfully download will be removed from your HDD next time you log into your (presumably modded) 360.

you may be a MS MVP but you don't know a thing about business

if MS banned a single person for this they would be a world of spit(with an H)

[ChopSuey]

I think it's safe to say that MS will not ban anyone over this, unless they detect your system has been modded. MS can't risk banning people who actually buy their retail games. :)

[CrazyJohnny]

No one is going to get banned.

This was clearly an error on Microsoft's part.

The error has been fixed and this 'deal' is over.
