Microsoft today revealed September's free games for Xbox Live Gold subscribers.

No Caption Provided

From September 1-15, gamers can pick up Magic 2013 (normally $10), while Rainbow Six Vegas (normally $20) will be free from September 16-30.

Gamers in South Africa will receive Shadowrun instead of Rainbow Six Vegas, Microsoft said.

The free games are part of Microsoft's new Games With Gold program that gives Xbox Live Gold subscribers two free titles--to keep--each month until December 31.

Microsoft has said that you will only get the free games on xbox 360 until xbox one release day. So that means that after release day you will no longer get free games. It will be the same ass it's always been. It will not be anything like sony. As long as you have a playstation 3 or ps4 you will always get free games every month of the year every year. Just letting people know so thare is no confusion on what is really happening with the xbox 360 free games. All so to let you know that i always have to know every thing going on with alot of things and it has to be the truth and thise is one of them. Im also not a fan of anything so i only go with what i think is better for me and i thought that xbox 360 was the better one for me.

@roman4545 I don't understand your logic, if you have a PS3 you wouldn't even be part of this conversation? What do you have? A lot of people have both consoles, why would having a ps3 make you not be in this conversation?

@roman4545 I've got both and I prefer the ps3. I didn't at first but I find myself playing it more than the xbox and it's definitely got better exclusives and you get better free games with psn gold.


How old is Rainbow six vegas it's probably near enough free to buy on ebay and amazon just now lol.

@Vegeta-sama @bonzaibillie How much could you possibly get if you trade in Rainbow 6? It's an old game, and now that it's going to be free that's going to bring the price down as well. I guess every little bit count.

I love Rainbow Six Vegas, that game is amazing, and I had actually thought about buying it recently. I look forward to playing it next month, and I had thought about buying Magic 13 on PC or iPad, so luckily I didn't and get it free.

@Kashmiro You're better off getting the disk based version instead. The hard drive space you eat up with numerous digital downloads eventually eats up the 360's mere 320 hard drive, if you're like me and have a bunch of installed games and dlc already. If it was like the PS3 and you can upgrade to a terabyte or more, this would be inconsequential.

Holy crap people are losing their shiz over this garbage. I pay for Netflix for movies I wanna watch and for T.V. shows I find interesting and love. I don't care to own them, if I do I go to the store or hit up Amazon. PS + what a great idea, some games don't really appeal to me but like finding a new T.V. series it interests you and you wanna check it out.

Subscription based, rental, getting screwed in the @$$ this fighting is stupid. I play PC, and when I get a PS4 (not sure when) and the ONE (probably after I get a PS4) I will then pay for both subscriptions. Happy to have games I would have never bought or known about, but now I can "rent" them on PS+ or have the old games on Gold. I still think PS+ you are getting more for your money, but damn kids at least Mom and Dad are doing us favors.

That's great, I already have Magic 2013 and I don't want RSV because I have part 2 on the PC already. Oh well, I guess I'll download RSV anyway...can't hurt to have it if I ever feel the need to play it.

I just had a look at what's on offer right now on Playstation Plus.

Right now you can download, for free, Assassin's Creed 3, Stealth Inc, Mafia 2, Spec Ops The Line, Saints Row The Third, XCOM Enemy Unknown, Uncharted 3, Little Big Planet Karting, Urban Trial Freestyle, New Little King's Story, Payday The Heist, Uncharted Golden Abyss, Gravity Rush.

You also get access to the Killzone Mercenaries beta.

There's a mix of 87 different themes and avatars that you can download for free.

There's also 38 full game trials that you can download, including Red Dead Redemption, Battlefield 3 and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit.

There's also various discounts on other games that non-Plus members don't get.

With Games with Gold right now you can download Magic 2013. Compared to PS+ this looks utterly pathetic, an afterthought, scraped off the bottom of Microsoft's shoe, doesn't give a shit.

Other games that have just left PS+ include Demon's Souls, Kingdoms of Amalur and Ico and Shadow of the Colossus HD.

@x-2tha-z Sure they could have downloaded them, but could they have kept them without resubscribing?

@Gatorboyburns @Shadowdanc3r @x-2tha-z You're essentially paying a yearly subscription to rent those games indefinitely. You don't have 100% access to them because as soon as you stop paying Sony, there goes your "free" games.

@Gatorboyburns You can still play online, but I've read XBLG is better at that than PSN.

I see some pretty old games on x-2tha-z's list, that doesn't make them mediocre.

16 games you own vs 96 games you don't. It all comes down to what the individual consumer would prefer. Me? I haven't really formed an opinion, but I see merit in both.

@Shadowdanc3r @x-2tha-z yeah but if you resubscribe you get more free games and if you don't you can still play online so lets see theres like 8 games a month and at $50 for a year thats like 96 awesome games as opposed to 16 mediocre (because they are old) games that you can keep for the same price
