Free Arcade Game for Problems

[xXHorrorHippoXx]

Hey, you guys know how Xbox Live has been messed up for almost two weeks now? Well it turns out Microsoft knows aswell... It has caused a lot of anger and frusterations but will it be all worth it? Damn straight! We're getting a free arcade game! Check out their apology letter:

"Dear Xbox LIVE Members:
During this past holiday season you helped us break a number of Xbox LIVE records. This included our largest sign-up of new members to Xbox LIVE in our 5 year history and just yesterday you broke the record for the single biggest day of concurrent members ever on the service.

As a result of this massive increase in usage we know that some of you experienced intermittent Xbox LIVE issues over the holiday break. While the service was not completely offline at any given time, we are disappointed in our performance. I would like to take this moment to thank you each and every one of you for your patience and understanding as our team has worked around the clock to return the service to a stable state.

At the same time we would like to offer a token of our appreciation to all of you in celebration of record success for the service. And as a thank you for your loyalty during this holiday period, we will be offering all of our Xbox LIVE members around the world access to a full Xbox LIVE Arcade game that will be available to download free of charge. In the coming weeks we will be sharing the specific details of this offer with you.

Thank you again for helping make Xbox LIVE everything that it is today!

Sincerely,

Marc Whitten
General Manager, Xbox LIVE

I'll take a free arcade game, as long as it isn't something like UNO or anything else they can't seem to sell

[BladesofBlood]

cool ied take a free arcade game even if it only lasts me 10 minutes

[xxspartan117xy]

the game's probably going to suck something awful. but hey, who knows? it might be somewhat decent

[Legend of Myth]

How much do you wanna bet its a game I already have? I own 98 Full Version Arcade Games...

[xXHorrorHippoXx]

I hope its Puzzle Quest.

[rabidhotdog]

This sounds good, but I imagine it'll either be a bad arcade game, or it'll be one I own. Here's hoping for the best.

[NC L3gEnD]

i heard you may be able to pick it

[TuTToAL]

looks good! wonder what the titles are going to be

[Greenskull]

I HOPE ITS YARIS 2!

[IeatdUrcookie]

Lol, XBL has been working fine for me all holiday season.

UNO is one of my favorite games there... and happens to be in the top 5 best arcade sellers :o.

[Legend of Myth]

And thats why they shouldnt use it! Everyone already has it.

[xXHorrorHippoXx]

Haha, Im pretty sure that like 75% of the people who have UNO got it for free!

[PhoenixTJ]

Haha, Im pretty sure that like 75% of the people who have UNO got it for free!

I got it for free FOUR times, It came with my vision cam, It came with my son's 12 month gold membership (the kit in a box), my brother got one in his kit (which he gave me :confused: ) and it's on the XBLA Compilation disc I got recently.

I meant they should give us something new, An XBLA game we've all never played. Just so long as it doesn't suck and feels like someguy made it on his lunchbreak.

[GameManiac101]

I wonder if I can put in my freaking point card code in yet...

[Tough Gandhi]

Awesome. Live has been really bad for me. It is so slow when I log in, I can't go on messenger from my Xbox 360 anymore, it just has been terrible for me recently.

[NC L3gEnD]

This is ridiculous. They claim live is up and running, although it doesn't respond very well. I have been patient to this point, but they truly need to get a fix. The worst part is they try to make it seem like it is all better when it isn't. Many people are still having problems. I hate how slow mine is to log in, I can't get on Messenger, auto-sign in is now nonexistant, and I can't say how many games I have been dropped from. Before they handle the compensation they should get the fix.

[Greenskull]

works fine for me

[Lord Dman]

Xbox wasnt working very well for me, but about the arcade game i hope its sumthin good, LoL i got UNO free twice.

[BladesofBlood]

when will it be put into effect do you think?

[Tough Gandhi]

Exactly, Its made me so angry I havnt played too much in the last 2 weeks.

[Sho0terman]

Hope it's a decent arcade game, and hope it comes soon. To be honest I would rather have 1 month of Live, or maybe an actual fix to the problem lol.

[xXHorrorHippoXx]

Im still lossing connection everytime I go to the dasboard.

[GameManiac101]

Im still lossing connection everytime I go to the dasboard.

Yeah I think it started again ffs

[zE bEE]

Its happened every weekend since christmas, and still no word of when were getting the arcade game, nor any news on MN about them fixing it.

[xXHorrorHippoXx]
