GoW 2 / World at War Pre-order weapons for free?

[Sethos]

Hey,

I'm sorry if this is already known or they already are freely available but as far as I know, these are pre-order weapons, ( I know the WaW weapons are level unlocks though ) am I right?

Well with the new Website Marketplace, a friend showed me these links.

Gears of War 2

Gold-Plated Lancer Assault Rifle: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/me...00-00004d53082d

Call of Duty: World at War

M1A1 Carbine Rifle: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/of...00-00004156081c

FG42: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/of...00-00004156081c

You obviously need to be logged in, scroll down and press "Download to Xbox 360".

I haven't tried these in-game, though it seems to download fine. So if anyone could test these out and report back?

Nice find!

[Pheee]

It seems Microsoft have made a mistake here, but I just need now the Gold Hummerburst.

But do you think MS will crack down on this? as they are only sharable via someone already downloaded them, to find them in there history...

Changed some numbers in the GoW 2 link and found this

New Balance -99459

Oh no!

[Kushan]

Yeah I'd expect MS to change all the prices of this stuff to 99999 again, but you never know.

It's interesting that a lot of it is free and a lot of it costs money, doesn't seem to be a pattern to it.

[Ayepecks]

Actually, if you tried to download it and it gave you the statement I said in my post, go to your download history and just click on "Download again." I got it :)

[Pheee]

yeah i got all this downloaded, and also some other sutff from the other thread.

Won't download anything. When I click on all of the links, then download it says

''Error

You do not have permission to purchase this content.''

When I switch on my xbox and go to download history nothing is there..

Nice, I just got the gold lancer. Ugly as it is, i'll take free stuff lol.

Edit: Just tried to get the exclusive gamestop theme, and I keep getting an error when I try to add it to my download queue.

Even if it is free, I ain't touching the gold weapon rubbish, it's really tacky!

[Sethos]
