Remember the note to Xbox Live subscribers about a free Live Arcade title? Major Nelson spreads the word today that Undertow will be available for free next week from Wednesday, January 23rd until Sunday, January 27th. That’s an 800 Microsoft Points value being made for free. (to those of you who don’t have it that is) I’ve played it and it’s a pretty cool game and in fact one of the best in the Xbox Live Arcade in my opinion. It looks great.
What say you of this peace offering? Those of you who have the game already are encouraged to call Xbox Support next week.
[Update] - I called Xbox Support and was told that those of us who have the game already would be credited 800 Microsoft Points. Some have already received the credit while others, like myself, were told to wait until next Wednesday to receive the points.

The call to Xbox Live support was not helpful. I was told that upper management has changed thier minds on this and an update will be issued for those who already own the game?

Hmmm, credit or not to credit for those that have it. Cool to hear that they are looking into this.

i agree with echo. Its better then nothing and it looks like a pretty good game. I love playing my arcade games when live isnt working good and/or i have no single player games left.
