Fable 3 and halo 3 were in June or July, you already missed them. Kinda bs that they're only giving out 4 and 5 yr old games, they' cost like 5$ now

Yeah I feel like they are just testing things out for the next gen. I assume it is quite expensive for Microsoft and Sony to do these free game offers, so they probably want to see how well it is working and is it actually worth putting all this money into it.

Since most of Playstations online features are free they use it as way to try to convince people to join PS+. You need Xbox Live to do basically everything on the Xbox, so they are probably trying to see if these free games have caused any sort of increase in sales of Live.
