Hi all,
SSX is free to download on Xbox.com as a Game on Demand. Not sure if this is intentional, or how long this will last for.
Not bad for a major 1-year-old game.
Credit goes to Whirlpool user greenmick for finding the deal.

Did the same. Pretty sure it will.
Yes it will, I have bought several free games without download them but I can dl them anytime later.
make sure you snatch the mt fuji track as well
Cheers to you and the OP
Thanks for the tip. Also, thanks OP
Same. Will be able to test whether the "download in background" option works. I'm hoping it'll turn itself on, download it, and switch back off :)
I don't think it works like that. You need to turn it on, it will start downloading, and then you can turn it off while the download is going and it will continue to download in low power mode. The light on the front blinks every few seconds while this is happening.
Checked download queue online, still there. Stupid Micosoft.
Worked for me under AUS account, Great find!
I don't get it, it says free. I click on it, then it says it cost 2400 points.
mine says its free…
are you sure its not saying that your point balance in 2400 points?
no, it says it will cost me that much. Could it be b/c i have a US accoutn? or perhaps that I don't have paid XBL and only have the free one (expired a couple days ago)
sorry if this is a dumb question. Bought the 360 on OzB b/c it was a great deal but hardly use it so i am kinda retarded.
+1 i got need 2400 points, my current balance is zero (never bought anything before, new account, no cc setup)
please tell me if u figure out how to fix this. I love SSX (from back in the day) and would love to be able to play it on my 360.
I bought it with my silver account and it was free, so must be cause of your US live account.
I have a free Australian account and it was free for me. So maybe it is the US account thing.
Yup, you were right, just created a new account and it worked for me. Yay!!!
Ditto, I'm only silver and only have 400 points in the "bank", but the game and Mt Fuji were both free to "buy" on my AUS account.
yes i think i have US account (when try to input billing info, they are US states only)
how to change to AU account? i dont want to use different email address, have 1 hotmail is enough.
edit: ah found how to change region,now i can buy them (ssx+mt fuji)
anymore free, guys?
bytheway, later at home, can i choose where to download? because i have 4gb slim
For anyone else looking to change region you can go here: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/billing-and-subscriptions/acco…
If you have a US account and don't want to change region, you can just create a free silver Australian account and download with that….any content you buy/download can be used by any account on the console you originally downloaded it on.
Edit: Actually I am not sure…you should be able to but some things might be region specific….maybe someone can test
It's because you have an US account. I have mistakenly created my first account as a US account when i bought the xbox. this deal is not working on that account and says 2400 points.
Works free with the AUS account.
Thanks for this. Just bought on the computer. It is in download history so it should be good to download later. Wonder what happened with this.
Wonder what happened with this.
It was just released as a GoD yesterday…the work experience kid forgot to put the $50 price against it ;)
Thanks! Downloading now.
Thanks OP, grabbed it online. Doubt I'll ever play, but it's free…
Kids are playing xbox now, clicked download on PC, checked active downloads and it is downloading. 3.68GB
Thanks another free games, I cannot remember how many I have and haven't touch and download.
82 on Metacritic

Done :-) cheers!
Excellent, hopefully I can download it after work.
Awesome. Hopefully they won't retroactively cancel and disable this. (They probably can't). They didn't with the free Halo IV Map Pack error from a few months ago at least.
really? because I got the free halo4 map pack and around 2 weeks later I get an error message saying it could not validate my content whenever I fire up the game so it doesnt work anymore….
Oh, hrm. I haven't played it for awhile. Though I'm pretty sure it was later than 2 weeks after. I'll have to try again and make sure.
Yay! Thanks!
Great find - thank you
Not bad, thanks OP.
Downloading now, thanks op
Got it thanks.
Got it too, free on AUS account, thanks OP!
Thanks… had to try a few times to get it to download to console but eventually worked when I searched for SSX, rather than follow that link.
Awesome, thanks! Just queued up the download using an AUS account.
At work, but added to downloads via Marketplace Website. Thanks.
Great find. Cheers!!
thanks!
Hey how do you buy it on their website. When I look on xbox.com it says $30
maybe you have US account go to website and change your region to AU
That won't work. When you try to purchase it, it'll revert back to USA pricing. I've tried buying USA things on my AU account. You'll have to use region migration that was released last week: http://majornelson.com/2013/01/16/xbox-live-region-migration…
If only it came out earlier, could have got Walking Dead for $10 :(
That was what it was. However, after I changed it. I now says free but when you "buy" it it says I don't have enough microsoft fun points (2400).
Just discovered that was the correct way. You have to do the region migration thing. Unfortunately you can't migrate back for 3 months but oh well.
Thanks for the tips guys
feepitee: yes thats what i done, migrate to AU.
drunifex: you sure you have migrated your acc to AU? then filled up billing address (just your details, not cc). after those things then the price will be zero. i bought 2 more after that.
this also free
Kinect Sports Ultimate Collection (sorry just demo) :(
Think it's a demo ernwinsie
Kinect Sports Ultimate Collection is misleading, I downloaded that a month ago, it's just a demo for two of the sports.
Can't see Kinect Sports Ultimate Collection for free unless you mean the video or demo version.
Do you have a link to the free game?
I got that until I signed in to my live account
Thanks!! Purchased via website!
Thanks OP :) Just purchased on the website via my phone…damn work blocking xbox.com :p
Thanks OP. I was watching one of these on ebay for $20 Lol!
that feeling is called the ozbargain effect
Excellent. Just purchased as well.
Worked here
Thanks
Ozbargain has been going off lately!
Thanks!
Worked on my AUS account. Thank you!
Got it lined up on the XBOX Website. Then realeased I hadnt transferred my old console details to new console. Found it on Marketplace on the new console but didnt have space to download it (4GB Slim), set up 8Gb USB and downloaded to that. Drama.
Thanks, good find.
CRAP - when i left it was at 60%. When I got home the download cue was empty. Unfortunately my USB stick was also empty. It was asking if I would like the xbox to prepare the storage device, which I did 30 minutes earlier. So no SSX for me.
I dont know if i should be saying stupid Xbox, stupid Microsoft or stupid USB stick
If you bought it (for free) it will be added to the games you have purchased, simply redownload it.
Wow, my favourite bargain of this year. Thanks heaps greenmick and fieldafar!
Awesome OP! thanks for the heads up!
Saw this on Facebook and "bought it" just now. After missing out on the two free PayPal money deals, I can say I'm happy. :)
Wow, pretty tricky offer to refuse :P Thank you!
I see what you did there……
What you did there…
Thanks!
tried signing up with my old hotmail accounts and realized they were all hacked, now I remember why I stopped using hotmail :|
bought one with a new account, no idea when I will play it but might come in handy
had to sign a new account to confirm purchase, the prefix is @outlook.com now :O
Amazing thanks for the up!
Well done just donwloaded and played, heaps of fun!
Thanks, I love a free game =)
Thanks mate, got it at work like everyone else :D
Playing it now great fun
Thanks OP and Whirlpool user :)
Great find, had to download it via the phone too!
Thaaank you!
awesome find, thanks a lot!
Just signed up to upvote and say thank you :)
WELL DONE OP! Please feel free to post more of this if you ever find it!
I get an error:
"Sorry
Your purchase cannot be completed at this time. Please try again."
Doesn't matter anyway cos I don't have an Xbox :P
Yeah, got the same error. Can't do it via the Xbox 360 either, says something about Xbox Live service error. Hopefully just a temporary thing …
Thank you! :D
I cant get it since it's not working (for now) on the 360 and in order to buy online you need a security code which is sent to an alternate email address, which I don't have. MS won't add another alternate email address for a month… :(
Awesome! got it, so did many friends
Oh man, don't tell me I missed out by a few minutes?! :(
I get an Error Code 80153003 when I try to buy it on the Xbox and it's no longer appearing on the website.
Looks like it's no longer working. Comes up with: Sorry
This offer is not valid in your region.
Bah not working here either. I did get the track though…….
It appeared Free, then I clicked and had to sign in. Then it disappeared and only the free track & trailers are visible.
However, when I Search for SSX, the game comes up as Free, but then I click on it, and it's gone :-(
Sad.
god damn it, just missed out..
Not working for me, told not valid in my region. On my US account it costs money.
Maybe they took it off since the sever couldn't keep up (hence the error messages)?
looks to be removed now?
Anyone else confirm?
At work but signed in and 'bought it'.
Will I be able to download when I get home, who knows…..
