Have you ever received free games/peripherals?

Has there ever been a time where you were outright given free gaming stuff? Maybe it's an old set of games, and a console. Maybe your friend just didn't want to deal with listing it all for sale and dealing with all that nonsense. I've only ever been given games for free a couple times. It was from family, the first time it was just old PC games, nothing spectacular or worth anything. The second time was from another family member who gave me their PS1, but it didn't come with games. Though they did include some music CDs and one of those DVD towers. 

I was on reddit the other day and was seeing posts about how people were landing lots of free games and consoles and I reminded of the time I got some free stuff. Albeit, nothing as cool as some of those reddit posts. 

Anyway, what about you? Ever receive free games, consoles, peripherals, parts, etc?

Yeah, I’ve actually gotten some cool free stuff over the years. I once got a free Xbox 360 from a buddy who upgraded to the Xbox One. It wasn’t in perfect condition, but it worked, and I got a lot of use out of it. As for games, friends have gifted me Steam Keys, and I’ve picked up some free ones during giveaways or special promotions. I always love hearing about those super lucky stories where people get really cool stuff though

No, I have not had such an experience before. The thing is that I am always buying the gaming items that I ever needed and have not had a situation where I had to get anyone free.

I've received some free games from friends cleaning out their collections! Nothing major, but I appreciate those thoughtful gestures. It’s always exciting!
