I hope they give the people who paid in advance some kind of discount, or even better, reimbursement.

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

Got it, yay.:D :D :D

Also, I don't have the Limited Edition version, but I played it on the Xbox of someone who did and all their exclusive armor and skins on mine too. So yeah, try that too!

Also, actually if I remember correctly this happened with Fable 2, Microsoft accidentally put up the full game for Free to download back in 2008/2009, and they honored and didn't ban anyone that downloaded it. I hope they do the same here.
Yeap. Although anybody exploiting this deserves to be banned.
Pretty much.
No I don't. ;~; Hey at least I asked before hand, instead of grabbing my pitch fork and screaming 'RAID THE STORE!!!!!!!!'

Good. Map packs and DLC has become such BS.

But yeah, M$ and 343 will probably be so a** hurt over this. They'll cry and whine and moan. Like they needed more money. After all the people who bought the game and shameless whoring done by the marketing department, they have already made a mint. Any thing more is damn near extortion.

This. He DID ask. Though you did inadvertently open the Floodgates for many other (no pun intended). I probably wouldn't have done it myself had I not seen that tweet.

You American? Because I'm English and it's not free for me either.

Downloading it now. Even if they take it away, it isn't a big deal. I honestly wasn't impressed with the maps.

If you expect fairness, act in a fair and reasonable manner.
There's absolutely nothing unfair or unreasonable in acquiring a good for the price advertised and demanded by the retailer.
As you yourself said, it was flagrantly unintentional, that much is evident by the apparent fact that you need to access the marketplace in a very specific way in order to download the content for free. Any other attempt would require you to pay out of pocket.

Just because Microsoft is letting you get away with it doesn't morally justify your actions, no more so than people looting stores in a wake of a disaster are justified because there is too much chaos to actually prosecute people.

Perhaps that last example was a tad hyperbole, I mean, on the scale of rehensibillity, downloading a $10 map pack for free is in the shallow side of the kiddie pool, it just frustrates me that people take advantage of things like this and then go "Oh, I'd better not get banned for this! I totally didn't know what I was doing was wrong!" as they are winking, grinning, and high fiving all of their friends.

If they got banned, I would feel absolutely no pity for them, because they chose to not be above reproach.

I dunno man, I loaded up my xbox for the first time today when I saw this thread and went right to the marketplace tab in the H4 menu(or link if the Crimson Map pack available screen had a link, I really don't remember).

Anyway, it loaded up as I didn't need to pay anything.

Wish I could be more helpful

If you clicked on here to ignore my coup, why? Do I look ugly to you? Do I look fat in this dress or what? Jerk.

Can 343i get ANYTHING right? First the people who bought limited and now the people who bought the season pass, they seem to love punishing people who trust them the most.

Hate to break this to you son.
Then that's just stupid on their part. All the people who paid extra for the LE deserve a refund.
Why? You got what you paid for. I doubt this will happen with the other two map packs. If you bought the LE solely for the season pass then that was a misguided decision if you ask me.

The season pass is pretty much the only reason anyone bought the Limited Edition, the convenience about it was the whole point. It's not like the LE comes with anything else. Anyone who bought the season pass separately should also get a refund. Personally, I don't care that much though, it's just one map pack.

I downloaded Fable II for free off of Xbox Live once too.

This is Microsoft's fault, not 343's.
