Are you confusing the 360 game for the XB1 game of the same name? You can download and play the demo of the XB1 game:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/stor...r/C4P0HTPS40G1

As others have noted, 360 Backwards Compatibility doesn't work with demos.

No. It also will not play your vinyl albums or your old VHS tapes either.

i didn't know you couldn't dl demos that were 360 only. ok, i got the answer. there is no need for snark involved with this question. yes, i may ask some dumb questions (to you all) from time to time (in this forum in particular), but i thought this was legit, saw that the 360 Prey was not bc and that's it. i don't mean to be a hassle or burden, just asking questions from people in the know...

Which is just so short-sighted of them. I have all these 8-tracks to play and Microsoft wants me to make room for Scorpio without replacing my Pioneer deck? Fat chance.

I watched both Monday and Tuesday as well. Haven't received anything yet. Although, I watched both online from my computer.

For those who did get it, did the stuff show up in your Xbox Account/My games or solely on your Xbox?

You should get a standard notification via Xbox or on Mixer. The freebies just showed up automatically in my Games list like if you bought it.

I'm a little tired of watching Mixer footage in hopes of hitting some unknown threshold to get free stuff.

Thanks. I sold my Xbox recently in anticipation of the Scorpio, and don't have my Xbox to log into, so I'm hoping I'll still qualify just through the browser watching. Guess I'll try again today (at least the playstation stream happens around the same time, so I can do the freebies for both.)

If you sign up for Mixer through your MS account and watch the daily MS E3 show (mixer.com/Xbox), you get Rare Replay and some other stuff for free.

edit: Music beat me with a more thorough post and answer.

They're giving out free dynamic themes and other little stuff. Yesterday they gave away a full game, which I missed out on.

Alright, I have this damn Mixer app pulled up a full minute before the steam starts, so I'm going to let it run in the background the whole time. If I don't get the free shit today, I'm burning this motherfucker down!
