You gotta admit, the Xbox Originals deal is a really cool idea, especially if you live in a country which never had the Xbox, completely obliterating your chances of getting an original Xbox disc anywhere within a 10,000 mile radius. Never mind the fact that we still don’t have the 120GB HDD here officially and we’d have to juggle our Xbox Original games via our Download History!
But for those that are planning to download them anyway, like us, there’s nothing better than giving us a chance at winning some cool stuff just for doing it. Announcing the new “Play & Win” sweepstakes on the official Xbox website, Microsoft is now giving those that download Xbox Originals a chance at winning great goodies including an Xbox 360 VIP Accessory Kit that includes a wireless controller, two Play & Charge kits, an Xbox LIVE Vision camera, a Quick Charge kit, the Universal Media Remote, a Wireless Network Adapter, a Wireless Headset, a 64 MB Memory Unit - all housed in a neat Limited Edition Xbox 360 Aluminium carrying case. If you’re not among the five lucky winners that’s going to be getting this killer kit, you can hope to be among the other 50 lucky SOBs that can walk away with a 12-month Xbox LIVE Gold subscription or 1600 Microsoft Points gratis.
All you gotta do is register your GamerTag on the official registration form before December 5th, make sure you got an Xbox LIVE Gold membership in good standing and then download an Xbox Original game off Marketplace with the same GamerTag. Then its off to waiting until December 16 to see if you won anything. And oh, you gotta be a US resident to be eligible to enter said sweepstakes. Damn, we knew there was a catch somewhere. Now we’re off to contact Microsoft India and beg them to do something like that here as well, since it’d be even more of an incentive for us to get our Fahrenheit and Psychonauts goodness come December 4th.

GameTap currently has Psychonauts for FREE, all you have to do is sign-up for an account. I believe there’s a time limit to how long it can be played from your HDD (until the end of this year, maybe), but if you’re gonna want to keep it and continue to stay a cheap bastard - I despise you.
