10 free XBLA games for new European Xbox 360 owners and a friend

by Justin McElroy { Nov 19th 2007 at 2:05PM }

European gamers often get shafted on prices, release dates, etc., so it fills our hearts to see them get treated with the loving care they so richly deserve for living on the planet's fanciest continent. For instance: If you can trick a friend into buying an Xbox 360 between Oct. 1 and Dec. 14 and fill out this form you and he/she can both get 10 free XBLA games, a full list of which is after the break.

Sadly for gamers in the States, you also have to live in the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Italy, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal, Greece, Sweden, Denmark, Finland or Norway. It's a great deal for those who can get it, though, almost enough to make us wish late 1770s colonists had taken a dive.

The free games are:

Every Extend Extra Extreme (E4)
Sonic the Hedgehog
Street Fighter II - Hyper Fighting
Bomberman Live
Marble Blast Ultra
Spyglass Board Games
Small Arms
3D Ultra MiniGolf Adventures
Assault Heroes
Zuma Deluxe

That's a pretty sweet list. I've enjoyed almost all of those except perhaps 3D Ultra Mini Golf.

You get Halo 3 free we get freakin' Bomberman Live. I know which one I prefer ;)

Robotochan @ Nov 19th 2007 2:13PM

Oh and it's Bomberman Live :P

thats actually a good list of games. Here they had some deal before where you register your xbox and it gave you 4 free games, but they were all lame games like joust, robotron, etc etc, those crappy old arcade ports you dont even want to play if their free. But this list is all pretty solid games (800 point titles)

That has to be the most graphic intensive picture I have ever seen.

Chimp @ Nov 19th 2007 2:16PM

That map must have been labeled by an American. Since when has Eastern Europe been on the Kazakh-Russian border area?

Avarice @ Nov 19th 2007 2:26PM

Looks like someone from China made it. I mean, seriously, what makes them "greater" than everyone else?

DemonGSides @ Nov 19th 2007 9:20PM

Yeah, especially since there is no lesser china.

Can your friend me from the US? If so, anyone in the Europe want to be my friend? :)

waynski1457 @ Nov 19th 2007 2:31PM

while i live in US, can my "german friend" on my xbox also get in on this?

man does that sentence sound wrong...

Slaziman @ Nov 19th 2007 2:31PM

You can feel the effort put into the making of the picture dripping from your monitor. Good job Joystiq crew!

ALH @ Nov 19th 2007 2:40PM

oh shit, someone i know just got a 360, perhaps i can convince them to join in on this

Dale @ Nov 19th 2007 2:56PM

This is the first time I have been sad that I moved to the US from the UK.

Whoever made that map was seriously lacking Geographical skills.

Cabal @ Nov 19th 2007 4:36PM

Damn, too bad they don't have this state side, since I've convinced a friend and a family member to get a 360 in that time frame.

Brello @ Nov 19th 2007 5:13PM

Australasia? I haven't heard that term for like 15 years. Anyway, I would love to get all those games free. Okay, not all of them, but the majority of them.

No one screws the European people on prices except their government. Though they do get screwed on release dates, I'll give you that.

7200 point value for both referrer and referee. Find someone that trusts you to buy the entire pack of codes, which would translate to a nice 10% off the price of a 360 premium pack.
