Europe: help MS sell 360s, get 10 free XBLA games

by Richard Mitchell { Oct 24th 2007 at 10:35AM }

Todo Juegos (translated) is reporting that Microsoft is planning a new promotion for Europe. Said promotion should run between November 1st, 2007 until January 31st, 2008. The gist of it is pretty simple. Just get a friend to purchase a new 360 at some point during the promotion, attach a copy of the receipt to a special coupon (PDF link), mail it in, and both you and your friend will receive ten free Xbox Live Arcade games. The games reportedly offered are:

Sensible World of Soccer
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

Not a bad deal at all, especially if you're on the convincing side and not the purchasing side. We can't guarantee that the offer is real, but the coupon certainly looks legit. If any of our European readers have heard rumblings of this offer -- especially if you can find an English version of the coupon -- please let us know in the comments.

wow, that'd be nice. Especially since SWOS isn't even released yet.

brabbijt @ Oct 24th 2007 10:57AM

yeah, it`s true, but the promotion has already been going on since october first :)

jose_edwaldo @ Oct 24th 2007 10:58AM

Does this mean that SWOS is out next Wednesday? With it being the day before the promotion starts?

Please let this be true....

Damn! I've already convinced most of my gamer mates to go with the 360!

Time to make some new friends!

ANYONE IN WALES WANT TO GET 10 FREE XBLA GAMES WITH THEIR NEW 360? I CAN HELP.

Ithilis @ Oct 24th 2007 11:29AM

Wow. Desperate in Europe much?

Ciaran Gallagher @ Oct 24th 2007 11:31AM

An excellent promotion, it's just a pity that I've already convinced three people! Gotta get one more then somewhere...

dunnypop @ Oct 24th 2007 11:32AM

if true, that deal is insane.
most of those games are about $10 each, and a lot of fun with friends. damn!

Bravo6 @ Oct 24th 2007 11:33AM

cool promo

Tony @ Oct 24th 2007 11:34AM

Well, it's not unlike a lot of other promotions. Get a friend to sign up for your phone company, get a friend to sign up for Gamefly, refer this person to that.

It's a nice way to get people involved, I suppose. I bet it costs less than advertising lol.

"6. Wow. Desperate in Europe much?"

As desperate as dropping a pricing sku (PS3) again (less than 3 months later)?

Only one immune to such tactics is Nintendo. for the time being.

It's ME @ Oct 24th 2007 12:15PM

If they only did it here states side, i've got two people to go out and buy 360's and they're both elites!!!

mattbiggs @ Oct 24th 2007 1:20PM

Bart NLD @ Oct 24th 2007 2:22PM

It's true, in a Dutch gamesmagazine MS advertised with this offer. It's also showing on www.xbox.com -> choose Netherlands.
