SA Xbox Games with Gold for January 2014

I have already downloaded Sleeping Dogs early this month, I also heard the a tomb raider will be coming, but what is the 3 rd one, and what is the reason for three this month, not that i am complaining. Anything free is good for a budget gamer.

Thanks for sharing
 
I really don't know if this belongs in here but when I downloaded the dishwasher: vampire smile from the games with gold menu, later on I find out that I have been charged the full amount. I am new to the whole games with gold thing but am I only allowed to download one of the free games and pay for the other supposedly free games? if not, I would like to find out how I would go about sending a complaint to Microsoft or Xbox services.

Sheesh that's bad. I'm lucky in that I wasn't charged for it. On what day did you get it?

Apparently the reason was that there was a screw up last month that one of the games wasn't available in SA so we get another one now. I think the 3 are Sleeping Dogs, Lara Croft: Guardians of Light and Dishwasher: Vampire Smile.

How the games with gold works normally is that one game is free from the 1st rill the 15th, then the next is free from the 16th till the end of the month. So they you have to get them at different times during the month.

Not sure of the timing of the 3rd game, but when you press to buy a game, just make sure the price says R0
 
Matt, this is a shot in the dark but aren't you a Microsoft MVP?

I know that Matt (Roguecode) is one for his development but aren't you one for XBox related stuff? Or is that another Matt? (Wow there's a lot of Matt's in South Africa! Don't worry, I've got an even more common name.)

Lol no that's another Matt, and I'm not an Xbox MVP, I just try to be helpful.

PS, I think Dishwasher Vampire Smile was only for SA accounts, so if you got charged, maybe you have a US or UK account? I'll look for when it's supposed to be free when I'm at a PC, on my phone at the moment

:) Ah alright. Then it must be a different one.

I got Dishwasher for free over the weekend so I suppose one had to get it before the 16th when it switched over to the Lara Croft game.
 
My membership is a South African one as far as I know (I have been led to believe I am a South African citizen but maybe I am truly canadian with my love of snow, maple syrup and saying the word "eh?" if that is the case i would like to report that my Xbox has gained some form of sentience and it knows my whole life has been a lie) .but all that aside, I downloaded the dishwasher : vs on the 16th, also thank you matt for the help clarifying the games with gold and thank you Solitude for sending the link to Xbox support.

LOL, damn anti-Canadian consoles. You should be able to see what your region is at https://live.xbox.com/en-ZA/Profile

I see that it's showing R109 if I try buy Dishwasher, so it might be like Solitude said that it was only on with the first game fro the 1st to the 15th.
