A few days ago I used a coupon to get a bacon & cheese quarter pounder from McDonald's for $2 and won The Maw from the peel-off thing on it. When I checked the odds of winning, it turns out that they're surprisingly high (see section 6 here). It looks like there's a 100% chance to win something, with a 25% chance of it being The Maw, 25% chance of it being Ms. Splosion Man, and 10% chance of it being Aqua.

PS It was delicious.

Edit: It looks like this is only available in the US.

Are those 3 games decent? AKA are they worth it? I don't normally eat at McDonald's but if I have a good chance to win a decent game I might go there a few times for lunch this week.

so you can win a game from buying Royale with Cheese&Bacon but nothing from getting le Big Mac? Pardon my french but that's BS.

All 3 games are on Steam, which makes the Xbox 360 versions obsolete. Not to mention the fact that Microsoft abandons anything that doesn't fill their pockets with enough money. Xbox Live for Xbox 360 won't exist within a few years. Once your 360 hard drive goes, you'll lose everything that was downloaded from Xbox Live. In other words, Xbox is a temporary platform. Microsoft isn't the type of company to give things away although they did start giving 2 free games a month as long as you have a $60 a year Xbox Live Gold account. Most of the free games are very old and/or not very good though.

Anyway, Ms. Splosion Man is great, I have it on 360 and Steam. Don't care much for the other two but they aren't bad games.

Yea the games with gold are pretty crappy. I've only downloaded Fable 3 (Huge Fable fan but this one is just meh) AC2 (Great game but pretty old) Magic the gathering 2013 (HUGE MTG fan but was hoping more of M14. Would have bought the DLC if it was M14). Halo 3 and Gears of War 1 are great games but along with every other 360 user I already have these games. They're 360 exclusives and are staples of the 360. If you own a 360 you most likely own these games so it's really stupid how these are the Games with Gold games. Still waiting for something really nice. Wouldn't mind Fallout 3 since my disc broke.

I believe MS said support for 360 will be around for another five years at least. So, yes, it is "obsolete" since the next gen consoles are out; however, there is support for the systems for awhile. I don't have an XB1, but I'd assume you could download digital purchases on that still? Someone with an XB1 will need to confirm that though.... I do know it isn't backwards compatible, but I thought that was for physical copies (discs) of games.

If not, then that sucks. Glad I only buy things on sale and under 5 bucks. This is exactly why the console push, MS tried, for digital games backfired imo. Try to be like Steam, but without the perks. GG MS.

Exactly, if they went for the push to be like steam including the pros instead of nothing but cons, it would have worked.

Which is why you wanna own more local multiplayer or single-player games. Plus, once you download the game from XBL to your HD, you can play it offline. Heck, disconnect your Xbox from the internet forever, and it'll stay there. So really, it's just being smart.

No need to be rude. The rules of this site state that no trades are to be requested/made on steamgifts. That's what steamtrades is for. So go to the proper forum or risk getting suspended.

I have an extra copy of The Maw, but I haven't gotten Ms. Splosion Man. My local McDonald's keeps forgetting to stick the peel-offs on the things that are supposed to have them (I've gotten screwed out of 3 so far).
