Broken Disc Drive? Free Game!

So, apparently, a lot of people have been getting problems with their Xbox One disc drives not working, a problem eerily reminding of the Red Ring of Death problem affecting early Xbox 360’s.

Microsoft however claims that the issue is only affecting a very small number of Xbox owners. In the meantime, they have pledged to give people suffering from this Disc Drive of Doom issue a free game.

Informing Microsoft Customer Service about your problem nets you a download code for either Dead Rising 3, Forza Motorsport 5, Ryse, or Zoo Tycoon.

I could say that’s nice of them, on the other hand I think that’s just the least they could do, especially after what happened with the Xbox 360, they should be careful with rushing releases and technical issues.

So, everyone’s picking Zoo Tycoon, right?
