Microsoft’s Lumia 950 and 950 XL are now up for grabs in the United States, and Redmond’s making big efforts to release the devices in other markets across the world too, as demand for the two new models seems to be on the rise.

In France, in order to sweeten the deal, Microsoft’s offering Windows Insiders, who are members of the program that helped develop Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile, the chance to win €233 ($250) worth of free accessories when they purchase a Lumia 950 or Lumia 950.

Specifically, insiders can receive a coupon that brings them a €25 Microsoft Store gift card, the Display Dock adapter that enables Continuum, a wireless charger plus a Mozo case, all of them available at absolutely no cost. TheWindose.fr writes that this offer is only available until December 20, and participating insiders need to register for the contest by this date.

Winners will be announced at a later date, with accessories expected to arrive via mail to insiders sometime over the next 10 weeks, most likely in early 2016.

Obviously, this is really a great offer since there are so many free accessories, but again, the Lumia 950 and 950 XL do not come cheap. Pricing in France of the standard 950 is €599 while the XL brother is even more expensive and can be yours for €699.

Thank you for the tip, MSFTfan!
