>>340691510
Wow.
>they pay for you for stealing
wtf
Wait, if you downloaded it already you keep the game forever? AND get $10 "imconviniance" money?
Seems like a pretty good outcome.
HA!
I'm still on mine what do? Just keep playing for the rest of my life?
>>340691825
No, it will ask you to pay for the game when you try to launch it.
>>340691510
This just happened to me
>>340691825
No, they take it away. "Your free download will no longer work."
>>340691825
No, they will remove the game from your account and force the console to delete your game.
Never buy digital
$10 I can actually use on the Windows Store for PC gaming? Free minecraft.
TEN DOLLARUS
>>340691927
I'm still on I guess I'll just keep it open and never hard reset my console.
>steal something
>be surprised when it gets taken back
I would rather have $10 than this piece of shit anyways.
>>340691962

That seems pretty based on MS's part, thanks Phil senpai for the money.

Did you really think that you could get away with it when it is that prevalent?
>mfw I got project cars for $3.00 with the limited edition unlock

I should be good right? Until I go online?
Or does it have some sort of timer built in where you need to connect to confirm the game.
Dark Souls 3 early load worked fine and never needed to connect to confirm.

This is why I unplugged my ethernet.

You connect and it will be revoked, either way you still get 10 dollars
>>340692737
Yea, this time they had a legitimate reason to take it out from your download history.
It's only a matter of time until an other shit like PT happen and they start removing games because of jewish compagnies

Nice. Guess I'll just stay offline until I play it for 30 minutes, realize it's a shit gimped 900p 12fps port.
Some games had 'connect to confirm' back on the 360 if I remember. Think it was Rockstar games.
What are some good games for 360 within $15
Be more positive, like this guy
Has anyone tried to play it after getting that message? I'm at work so I couldn't disconnect from Xbox Live to prevent this.
I finished Automatron in the morning and I am about to start Far Harbor.

>>340691510
Wait so let me get this straight: Microsoft fucked up with a pricing error on the Xbone store regarding Fallout 4, and noe they're taking back the game (Which you wouldn't have even had in the first place) and giving you $10 to spend on the store for free?
That's pretty fucking based to be fair, they could have told you all to fuck off and given you nothing.
>>340693123
True. Never thought about it like that.

How is this a bad thing?
I guess it's ok. They give you a free 10$ instead of outright banning your ass.
I didn't download it because I was scared of getting my bum fucked. Oh well.
Wait..I'm confused. Did microsoft actually put F4 on live for free on accident?

What can I do if I receive unsolicited supplies?
Goods
If you receive unsolicited goods, you don't have to pay for them. But don't just throw them away or break them, because you may have to pay compensation if you purposely damage unsolicited goods within three months of receiving them.
This three-month period is called the recovery period, when the supplier can recover the goods. This can be reduced to one month if you send a written notice to the supplier saying you've received unsolicited goods that you don't want, and that they can be collected from a certain address. Keep some proof of the date you notify the supplier – an email, postal receipt or registered post, especially if the item is something quite valuable.
If the supplier doesn't collect the goods within the recovery period, you can keep them without having to pay anything for them. But you can't keep unsolicited goods if you:
knew that the goods were not supposed to be sent to you – for example, if there is another name and address on the parcel
unreasonably refuse to let the supplier collect the goods during the recovery period.

I didn't open the message and went offline and deleted my WiFi save on the console. Now I can play and beat it before June ends and get $10 for doing so. Thank you Microsoft.

Anyone? I disconnected my Ethernet cable before powering on my Bone and I'm able to play, but is anyone able to play with it connected to XBL?

You guys are fucking retarded if you think that Microsoft are responsible for the recall. I can guarantee that Todd Howard forced Microsoft to do it and the $10 is their way of saying "sorry Bethesda are fucking massive jew cunts who can't make a good game to save their lives." Given MS's recent history of being very pro consumer, they would have allowed it if they weren't strong armed...
>>340691510
Sorry this happened to y'all. I was on the thread and I said "take your Xbone offline, unplug it." A couple of other people did as well.
Its the downside of digital content. You only get "the license."
>>340692716
This. You are smart. Unplug. Of course it was a screw up. Of course an intern lost their job. Of course they were going to take it from you. I'd just play offline.
But yeah, $10 is nice of MS. I'm not a lawyer, but this actually brings up some really interesting legal issues. I mean, they did list the game for free. Can they just turn around and say "well we didn't mean it for free"?
Everyone's $10 is coming out of an employees 401k.

>>340704208
First: Not a lawyer.
Now then, this has solid legal standing in the U.S., and there is precedent. From the most basic legal standpoint, a transaction where something is sold for little or no cost cannot be rescinded by the seller after the fact. There are notable exceptions, but in this case none of them would apply. XBL and PSN give out free games each month, and it is not unreasonable to believe that this could have been a part of that. The only way they could really attempt to defend themselves should folks take them to court over this is if they have something in their EULA that covers this. Even then, that can be overturned, as EULAs are of questionable legal binding.
>>340706008
And how much would that cost?
>>340706067
Oh forgot to mention. If someone saw that it was available and decided to pay to subscribe to get that free download only to have this happen, that's textbook bait-and-switch.
Still not a lawyer.
>>340706067
>XBL and PSN give out free games each month

>>340691510
>Fuck microshill

>>340705693
More like
>online consumer laws are different to in-store consumer laws
A contract of sale only exists where there is offer, acceptance, consideration, and intention to create legal relations.
If I was Microsoft I could argue that there was no intention to create legal relations because the price was a mistake, and people who attempted to enter into the contract must have known it was a mistake because games like Fallout are never just "free" (seriously, when was the last time one was?). I could also argue that processing the order, confirming the order, charging customers, and enabling their accounts to access the license, being automated systems, do not constitute acceptance of a contract of sale. This would be more difficult. When dealing with online deliveries of physical goods the contract isn't actually accepted until the goods are physically delivered most of the time - companies receiving payment do not constitute acceptance most of the time - but this being a digital good the same principles MIGHT apply - that it is an automated system and therefore the simple act of the system doing its thing doesn't constitute the company accepting the contract.
Ergo, no contract of sale, and the customers must return their licenses.
Companies are not obliged to honour mistakes. Advertised prices are an invitation to treat, not an offer. An offer is made by customers to companies, and it's clear that Microsoft doesn't want to accept this offer even if their automated systems are working as intended.
>>340706450
On the topic of bait and switch, couldn't this also be considered some form of malicious advertising? Say someone likes the game since they played it and now believes they would have purchased it under normal circumstances. Could it be argued that it may have been done maliciously in order to generate sales?
>>340706590
because everyone preffers the free 40$ game
>>340706834
>>340706450
No, no, no, you're all wrong.
Bait and switch and misleading and deceptive conduct require intent to deceive.
Microsoft clearly had no intent to deceive - this was a mistake.
>get free $10 and revoked a shit game
>FUCKING MICROSHILL
>WOW COULD YOU BE ANY MORE INCOMPETENT M$???
>>340706067
That sounds well and all but what about "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone"?
Can't they just say no and not sell it to you?
>>340704208
No, they don't.
Advertised prices are not an offer, they are an invitation to treat.
When you buy something you make an offer to purchase it by taking it to the counter, the company accepts the offer by ringing it up, and the consideration is the price of the item on the customer's part, and the item itself on the company's part. This contract transfers ownership of the good from company to customer in exchange for money. The intention to create legal relations is a given.
Microsoft did not offer you this game for free. You offered to purchase this game at zero dollars. Microsoft is not accepting that offer. Confirming the order, charging your account, and delivering the license _MAY_ not constitute acceptance because they are all automated systems.
>>340706806
That makes sense.
Come to think of it, I never received a confirmation e-mail. So I suppose they never officially accepted it. But by that logic, doesn't Microsoft then retain the right to completely revoke all the Games with Gold at any time, regardless of whether or not you keep your subcription to Gold?

>>340707418
>doesn't Microsoft then retain the right to completely revoke all the Games with Gold at any time
I'd imagine that Games with Gold would constitute a service, not a good. The Games included would be provided as part of your service.
Goods are things like a table.
Services are things like a guy painting your fence.
It's unclear at the moment whether software is a good or a service. See, anyone who supplies goods to a consumer guarantees that the consumer has the right to undisturbed possession of the goods. For example, the supplier guarantees that no one has the right to repossess the goods, or stop the consumer from using them. However we know that some companies have the ability to stop us playing our games at any time they want. A permanent ban on a game like CS:GO may infringe on my right to undisturbed possession, right? But then you could argue that CS:GO is a lot like a service, really. A service is an action that somebody does for someone else - much like running dedicated servers and so on for your vidya. But, if CS:GO is a service, then the following applies
>A purchased service has a major problem when it:
>has a problem that would have stopped someone from purchasing the service if they had known about it
>is substantially unfit for its common purpose, and can’t easily be fixed within a reasonable time
>does not meet the specific purpose the consumer asked for and can’t easily be fixed within a reasonable time
creates an unsafe situation.

>>340691510

My bro has one and pestered me to get one so we could play online. Plus,freeonline with free games and backwards compatibility.It currently gets less use than my Wii U
So how many people went and decided to buy the game (at $10 cheaper) after this accidental free trial?
>>340714248
Probably zero. The people stupid enough to think that Fallout 4 is worth money have already bought it. Also quality is more important to Xboners than any other console userbase. Maybe if this happened on PS4 then there would be a spike in sale after the fact. But then again, PS4 users are easily fooled (hence why they're PS4 users) so again they probably already own a pip boy edition of Fallout 4.
>>340712643
It makes perfect sense. Otherwise companies would be bound to honour mistakes, and the only reason you'd want that is to get cheap shit as a consumer. The laws don't exist to fuck over companies so consumers can save a few bucks, they exist to ensure fair outcomes for everyone.
>>340697883
>actually this happens all the time on steam
How do you even find those errors?
Is it by luck? Is there an website that keeps track of this?
Never knew how much people love Fallout 4.
>>340692305
Taken advantage of obvious errors like that is stealing. The only reason it isn't stopped is because it's an automated service. If someone listed something for $0.00 at Wallmart the check out person would not let you buy it.
>>340706067
yeah uh...have fun taking THAT to court.
Hopefully people that are going "HOW CAN THEY DO THIS?" Maybe next time read that 20 page user agreement, that in it says they can do whatever the fuck they want, and you agreed to it. You literally have no right to complain, and if you had a problem form a union and sue them.
Just be glad you got free 10 bucks, and not a banned account or something stupid, because again they legally could do that.

In my country consumer laws dictate that if you are offered something at any price the retailer has to sell it at said price even if it was an accident as it can be considered a scam otherwise. If the supermarket workers fuck up and price 1 kg of meat 1 dollar they are forced to sell you meat at 1 dollar per kilo until they fix their mistake.
I honestly dont get you people who are doing everything by the book(buying Microsoft's console, buying all your games, paying to go online(This is so bizarre to me). Then , some little thing happens(like this, FO4=10$ fiasco).
I have illegal Windows on 500$ PC made out of second hand parts(in retail it would cost around 1500$).

They're desperate. The Xbone failed hard. Halo 5 flopped. Windows Phones failed hard. Microsoft Stores are a complete failure and will likely soon be closed. They can't actually afford to let shit like this slide because they lost out on sales and would have had to compensate Bethesda in full for every single one of those free downloads.

They won't, but will most likely be cutting many divisions like gaming and phones. Windows and Microsoft Office are the only things that are profitable for them, and while they're very profitable, it isn't enough or smart business to use them to keep all these other unsuccessful ventures afloat.

How do you prove that they had no intent to deceive in a court? They gave those $10 so quickly for a reason, they know they fucked up and that anyone could give them a lawsuit and win

>>340722427
Fucking food analogies
When PT was erased from the store Sony didnt erased the game remotely from your console, it scares me that a company is willing to do so as it sets a precedent, not only on consoles but maybe in the long term in PC too. People who were affected by this should really consider a lawsuit

It's a win/win.

Not that guy, Iactually don't hate W10,but installing, and using Origin isn't nearly as annoying as having to use an entirely new OS.

Why are you using my post to defend microsoft? Fuck off shill
Im impressed.
MS gives no fucks, litterally handing out tips just to pacify any potential butthurt.
>>340723138
you retard, X-Copy parties were a thing back in '80.
You lost so much freedom and you are not even aware of it.
Windows virtual moneys=I wish them try to pull that shit back in 1980-1999.
Fuck, you are so brainfucked that you protect huge corps.
And I know its hard to explain it to you because you are born in this society so you dont know any better.

"A standard form contract is a contract between two parties, where the terms and conditions of the contract are set by one of the parties, and the other party has little or no ability to negotiate more favorable terms and is thus placed in a "take it or leave it" position.
While these types of contracts are not illegal per se, there exists a very real possibility for unconscionability."
EULAs are even more questionable because you have almost no way of reading the contract before buying the product. Essentially these contracts are so heavily weighted in favor of the company, that any legal action based solely on terms in the EULA and not in copyright or other common law is generally thrown out or ruled in favor of the customer.
>>340723729
I'm pretty certain they took mine.
When I use the W10 PC app to hop in the party to talk to my friends, it wasn't listed as one of my games, and when I looked at the store, it told me to buy it.
>>340723809
>per se
If you ever want to be taken seriously, never do this.
>>340723809
Exactly
>buy product
>get home
>oh btw before you can use the product you already bought, you have to agree to a non-negotiable contract
They know it doesn't hold in court the vast majority of the time, but it's enough to deter people from dragging the companies into court.
>>340724043
I coped everything in the quotes from the Wikipedia page for standard form contracts.
>consolefags are so entitled that they're mad at microsoft for not accidentally giving them free games
holy fuck
and yet you'll keep throwing your money at them for their shitty games
what a bunch of retards
Wow they're really taking the game off of people's accounts? Yeah fuck ms. I'm thrilled they're being destroyed this gen, eat shit. You're mistake, no one elses fault. It's these rookie mistakes which have caused them to have essentially conceded the fight against ps4 literally weeks into the gen, and they're still fucking up.
>Takes Fallout 4 away and gives a free $10
But isn't that the best possible scenario here?
>>340722323

Fucking Pedo, you fat mexican cunt.
>they make a mistake and put a game up for free
>you download it, taking advantage of their mistake
>they take that away but to apologise for the inconvenience they give you $10
>"Fuck Microsoft"
Store I worked in once had a power cut, to get people out the store a few people just were allowed to leave with the shit in their trolleys.
So an unforseen problem meant people at one brief period got something for nothing. This is literally like 12 hours later the staff then came to people's houses, said we're taking all this back now because we've thought about it and decided that good will gesture was a bad idea, here's ten dollars instead and a big fuck you.
No, this is shite. Ms are being complete morons and it's yet another thing to add to the list of the Xbox just going down the pan. They've fucked up so bad this gen, it just keeps going. Anyone defending this really needs to take they're head out of their ass and look at how DECENT big organisations have handled this type of thing in the past. Literally taking back shit that has been given out due to THEIR mistake is bullshit. We're talking about companies with literally billions and billions here, a few free games getting out is nothing to this lot. It's literally disgusting.

Fallout 4 costs a lot more money than Minecraft.
Retard. Just download it on your PC for free.
>>340725114
I don't know man, I think there is a difference between damage control by letting people leave with stuff they were already in the process of buying and having people flood your powerless store to take advantage of the darkness and steal shit. Realistically I guess I don't really give a damn though because fuck microsoft and bethesda,
>>340691510
What was the pricing error?
Did you get it for free?
If yes getting 10 usd seems like a good deal
>>340691510
dude $10 for an error id take it, use it on the next dlc thats on sale. fuck it.
you guys already pay $50 bucks a year get your 10 bucks worth microshits
desu i used to pay for it its not that bad, or at least it wasnt until party chat was a thing. that ruined halo 3 and gears 1 and 3fuck 2i loved makin friends online and thats why i spent the money over ps3, nobody used a mic on ps3 and were all elitist fucks.
Confirmation Bias: The Thread.
>>340700681 is the only one who seems to have a clue what really happened here. All of you Nyggers will misconstrue anything Microsoft does as some kind of irredeemable act.
Side note: I'd much rather have $10 to spend on the Xbox store than an Xbone copy of Fallout 4. Fallout 4 is fucking terrible enough on PC and I can only assume that a 30FPS lock doesn't make the game any less shit.
>store fucks up and give away shit for free
>they fix it and give you money for no reason
>FUCKING MICROSOFT REEEEE
wow /v/
>>340726968

Well, they are taking back a game they were listing as free.
>Buy a TV on Amazon

is there anything good I could get for that?
>>340722862
No, if it's on your system you got to keep PT. You can also back up your system to a flash drive to keep it in the future, and there are still workarounds to re-download it from the store though they aren't intended by Sony.
Some people were afraid it would be deleted because they were looking at the date their PS+ expired, but it ended up being nothing.
>>340727183
Yeah, and when other stores make pricing errors, they honor them, and sell you the item for the listed price.
>>340727293
Renew your XBL Gold, of course! :^)
>>340727221
It's like if a mental patient voted for Donald Trump. It doesn't matter that he's a complete retard. He's still right.
>finished downloading it and went immediately offline
>Game starts perfectly fine
>Once I'm done with it go online and get $10
That was easy.
>>340727221
Shit like this has happened in the past, Fable 3 for example
They let people keep it because it is a mistake on their part
>>340722862
my copy of PT was never erased

>Given MS's recent history of being very pro consumer
Wat. Microsoft are the fucking perfect example of greedy Jewish anti-consumer corporation.

>>340722468
They don't have to prove that they had no intent to deceive. Misleading and deceptive conduct is a criminal, not civil matter. The burden of proof would be on the Crown, and they would have to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. Things like internal documents, emails, etc. would constitute evidence.
Has anyone's copy actually been revoked yet? Im still able to play and have access to all the dlc's.
Also fuck all you corporate bootlicking cuck shills. Wtf, telling people they should be glad that microshit is giving them 10 imaginary digital microcuck bucks.
