http://www.geek.com/games/pre-order-a-day-one-xbox-live-gold-subscription-get-killer-instinct-free-1563665/ When Microsoft launches the Xbox One in November, the new console will by default have access to Xbox Live and hopefully a healthy selection of downloadable content. If you already subscribe to Live Gold and intend to purchase an Xbox One, your subscription will carry over on to the new console. However, Microsoft is trying to entice you to spend another $60 with a rather appealing Xbox One Live Gold offer. Weve already had the Xbox One Day One console pre-orders, but now they have been joined by a Day One Xbox Live Gold membership. It costs $59.99 when pre-ordered, and in return you get a 12 month subscription along with a couple of extra benefits. The first is a rather inconsequential commemorative Gold membership card, but the second is a free copy of Killer Instinct: Round One along with the exclusive character Shadow Jago.\  If you are set on buying an Xbox One then this deal makes a lot of sense. It costs the same as the standard Gold membership, includes a free game, and just extends any Live Gold membership you already have. It also means you are guaranteed to have a game to play as soon as your Xbox One is set up and after however many gigabytes of download Killer Instinct ends up being. Unlike the Day One console, it seems unlikely Microsoft will sell out of Live pre-orders unless it chooses to, but it is listed as a limited time offer. The only concern Microsoft may have is that if it proves extremely popular then the Live servers could grind to a halt on launch day as everyone tries to download their free copy of Killer Instinct.

Also yes, it's the full digital version. That's pretty nice, you pre-order the Xbox one in full (with live) and you will get KI free. I see this as a way to get people jumping "in" back to the 360 after the whole E3 panic attack.

Why do people keep getting this wrong?

 

It's a Day One Edition of Xbox Live Gold which comes with Killer Instinct plus exclusive shadow Jago skin and a few other bits and bobs. It is an entirely seperate purchase to the actual Day One Edition console.

Well that's true :D

 

Still, I have seen a few people saying that this Day One Live Gold comes with the Day One console for free. As far as I can see that's not the case. I should know I have them both pre ordered :cool:

no actually it clearly says you get an EXCLUSIVE character Shadow Jago (Derpderp), and ROUND 1 is the name of the full retail version so how the heck would round one be the incomplete demo version?

What about current XBL Gold members? Its supposed to carry over to Xbone right? Are you saying you would have to purchase an additional 12 months of XBL ($60, I would assume extending your current membership by a year) to get the free game? Why don't they just give it to current members, that would be a nice perk for loyalty.

I'm so tempted to get an Xbox One solely for Killer Instinct. Just as I got an original Xbox and Xbox 360 solely for Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden 2 respectively.

LOL... YUP

KI is FREE.. you get 1 FREE character to play with in whatever mode you want. Then you pay to unlock other characters if you want. THAT'S CALLED THE FREE TO PLAY MODEL, regardless of whether MS want to call it that or not.

Obviously the don't because they know it diminishes the game in a lot of peoples eyes. So they want to call it a "demo" instead. You're cute for sucking up all MS's BS and regurgitating it to the masses.

The number one reason I am getting the XBOX ONE Day One Edition is because of Killer Instinct. There is NOTHING on PS4's launch lineup that even comes close. The best PS4 launch game is Assassins Creed IV which is multiplat anyways.

If it were a credit I could use for a downloadable game of my choosing I'd be all over this...but I already have a gold account and KI was always a second rate fighting game at best. No way I'm paying anything extra until after I've played it.

Of course you think Killer Instinct is second rate, and this is because (and ONLY because) PS4 is not getting it!!

You can play it, and it doesn't cost anything... not rocket science, fella.

Like Marvel Heroes... you can get the game for free, but you have to pay for additional playable characters - LISTED AS FREE TO PLAY! Available now on Steam (NOT AS A DEMO)

Only a Cow would insult the new Killer Instinct. Everyone else knows better and are not bitter about it being a XBOX ONE exclusive.

Just like a demo.

Also, the full version isn't free to play as well since you have to buy all the characters and maybe more for Round One edition to take advantage of the game, and as for your example, Marvel Heroes is a full free to play game as it's not a demo at all with optional characters to buy.

You know they're going to list the different versions at Gamescom right?

So if you preorder the Live subscription you get the same game that can be downloaded off of Live for free plus an exclusive character. This article makes it to me sound more like you are getting the full game plus an exclusive character. I'm still hoping for a full retail version with all content already on it. If they don't have a retail disc with it all unlocked already I will go for the download and probably get the Live card for the shadow Jago. I'm stoked enough for this game that I would pay the $60 over the $48 I usually pay for Live. $12 exclusive character is crazy but I have been ready for a new KI since it fell off after the second.
