Playing around with Xbox.com (the US version), I found a whole slew of gamepics that popped up as being the top gamerpic downloads for today. I opened them all up and and noticed they had the same holiday theme to them but more importantly, that they came from the same “offer.” Turns out, it all originated from this offer. The offer is basically this: if you activate a new 12 month Xbox Live Gold account, you’ll get to choose a free gift download offer from list. After activating the 12 month Xbox Live Gold (via the dashboard on the console and credit card and not via a code from a store-bought prepaid card), you will the download one of 7 different gamerpics. The first gamerpic you choose to download will determine which gift you will get. After downloading the first gamerpic, you can still download the other gamerpics, but you won’t get those gifts. (Side note: If you have a pre-existing Xbox Live Gold account, you can’t take advantage of this offer, but you can download these snazzy gamerpics.) So here’s the list of things you can choose from:
Hexic 2: Spin trios of hexes to create groups of matching colors in this puzzle favorite.
Hardwood Spades: Play the classic party card game with friends over Xbox LIVE.
Poker Smash: Make vertical and horizontal matches by forming poker hands in this puzzle game.
N+: Become a daring ninja with unique, physics-based controls, and stylish animated graphics.
EVERY EXTEND EXTRA EXTREME: Unique, fun gameplay mixes with hip and cool original music.
Crackdown Getting Busy Bonus Pack: New vehicles, weapons, game modes, equipment, and achievements.
Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack: Grab these three new maps for the ultimate multiplayer experience.
So those are your choices! Personally, I’d want four of these if I didn’t already have 3 of them. That would leave out Hexic 2 which would be my choice. Which one would you pick? Are you going to take advantage of this offer?
