1 - Hmmmm...
I'm actually reasonably pleased with this. I don't use Live all that much so I guess it wasn't a huge inconvenience for me, and a free game is pretty cool. I was worried they were going to give away Tron or something, at least Undertow looks like a decent game.

I agree, normally 800 points ($10) and it's a new game, and not some rehashed arcade classic. This is better than what I expected, so I'll happily download it free of charge. In all fairness, I think this is a good compensation for lost time on LIVE for those few weeks. People were wanting free year subscriptions and 2000 MS Points, and that simply was not going to happen nor was it even owed to us for the inconvenience. This is fair.

1.4 - Undertoe is...
...a half decent game. I felt a little ripped off that I paid $14 NZD for it as its not as good as I was hoping. The graphics are certainly very smart but I was hoping for a 3d, sideways scrolling shoot-em-up and not a game based on a headquarters multiplayer game.
I think MS should have given everyone 800 points so they could decide how to use them how they wanted. I find it really unfair that if you already own the game you now have to chase up with MS for another deal.
Oh well, never mind as I sold up my 360 in favor of the PS3 this week. On-line console gaming has never been better...or less expensive.

You could have downloaded the free trial demo before you bought it. If you had ever owned a 360 you would have known that. Stop trolling.

...as you can see I still have my 360 avatar displayed in my profile. I downloaded the demo and was not 100% happy about it. However, my two boys thought it was pretty cool so I purchased the full game. Still does not change the fact that I thought it could have been better.
I am annoyed that you consider it trolling when I owned a 360 for over a year and was an avid on-line Xbox Live gamer. However, we have had connection issues for some time in New Zealand and I was sick of paying near $13 a month for the service.

...VISA charges it cam to about $13 NZD per month. A real rip off considering you can get 12 month memberships for $80 NZD. Problem was, I paid for one month Xbox Live using the VISA and MS automatically kept rolling it over without my OK. However, I just got use to paying by VISA.
All I can say is never pay month by month!

I love how people b!tch about free $hit. If you want more than this Kelkoski go join the $5 million dollar lawsuit. That would probably make you happy, and also show the true depth of your douchebaggery. Now would you kindly not download the game and move on.

Ahhh, Why do I bother with you asshats anyway? So one month of LIVE at it's most expensive (Month-to-Month Membership) is $7.99. While the yearly membership is $4.16 a month. This game is worth $10, Yeah it sucked LIVE was down but I am not an unrealistic prick that can't understand that $hit happens and life sucks. DEAL WITH IT.
Best part of all is if you read the Xbox LIVE TOS, They don't owe us a god damn thing. Of course I wouldn't expect you to worry your sweet little brain with all that info. Something for FREE when they could of told us to suck it up, is fine in my book. If it happened all the time I would be really pissed. At that point I might stop "swallowing MS cum" as you so eloquently put it.
So by your same logic since you don't pay for PSN and it goes away for 3 or 4 months with no access at all you have no recourse because you pay nothing for the service. Just use some logic dude it will serve you well in the future.
Well that's 2 trolls fed, Anyone else hungry?

Seriously, Syko just served up a nice facial on the turds above...
I have to say, Microsoft is doing OK with this compensation, but ultimately, I would have been happier with 500 MS points instead of limiting the selection to one game...
Yeah, it's probably a great arcade title, but I prefer to spend my points for DLC and other content...

i bet he feels as though the RRoD is a bit overhyped by all of the Sonyfanboys, not saying its not a problem but they have nothing else to speak of so they concentrate on this and this only. i have had my Xbox 360 since Oct 06 so it is the old motherboard design and i have had no problem what so ever, oh but dont worry IF i have a problem with it like the RRoD i will say about it, so dont start calling me an Xbot either.

3.2 - Nice?
yeah, it would have been nice to "try", but that's where demo's come in.
The previous posters are dead on when they say M$ should have just given us the points instead.
The poster above me had a point when he referred to M$ not owing us anyything because of the TOS. But that's garbage customer service. If you prefer to grab your ankles at every turn based on some agreement M$ paid 10 laywers to draw up that you probably didn't even read anyway, then you are the ultimate lemming consumer and don't deserve to keep a penny you earn. But at least you will stimulate our $hitty economy!
I'd be pissed if Sony's Network went down too, but since THAT is a FREE SERVICE, then they actually DON'T owe me anything.
It's not like they charge you at the end of the subscription. If I miss a week of my sports illustrated magazine, I expect to be compensated somehow....and SI would do it no problem. So should M$.
But if you want my money up front, then you have to deliver.....
just like prostitutes.
I understand $hit happens, but for the service to go down during a time of year WHEN EVERYONE ACTUALLY HAS TIME TO PLAY is pretty bad.
At the end of the day, I'm glad M$ did SOMETHING!

No one is "complaining". The intermittent issues that happened during the holiday affected very few people -- no one I know, nor myself.
The only people who arent overjoyed with getting a free $10 Xbox LIVE Arcade game are the Playstation 3 owners.
They're just here to spread their misery as best they can...

the only reason i am disappointed with this is because i already have undertow. i think it was on my xbox360 elite harddrive when i upgraded to from the premium, because i only had the demo, then i upgraded and then i had the full version of this game after i transfered all my content from my 20gb harddrive to the 120gb harddrive
can anyone else please confirm for me if the full version of undertow comes free on the 120gb harddrive for the elite? maybe i somehow got it unlocked by accident when i transfered all my stuff from one harddrive to the other

This won't help me next time live goes out because I won't be able to play any arcade games because of their DRM.
This also doesn't give me back the month I lost (and am still losing) since I can't sign in.

I'm on my third console. Anything I bought before hand I can't access without being signed in. I spent three weeks not being able to sign in. Therefore, I couldn't play my arcade games.
Let's just add undertow to the list of stuff I won't be able to access. What's so inaccurate about that? It's pretty much the exact situation I've been in for awhile now.

done that. Redownloaded several times since that seems to be the consensus solution to the problem.
It's like people think I'm lying. When I'm not signed in, I can't play. When my XBL is broke (now and the last three weeks), I can't sign in. All I'm saying is this will be one more game I won't be able to play the next time XBL breaks. I'd merely rather have my month of live back rather than the game.
