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.
good stuff DeaconBlade. glad to be a part...

Not great timing for me… My Xbox 360 just went down with the 3 Red Lights (seriously, about 10 mins before this post
Considering the time it will take my xbox to be shipped to the repair center, be repaired, and be shipped back to me, I will definitely miss the window to get this arcade title free… I guess I will have to wait to fing out if Microsoft will still give me this title for free when I get my xbox back in late February to early march…

Good, I really wanted to get Undertow even before it was going to be free…Thanks

I don’t have this game but always wanted it, so I’m happy
. I thought they was gonna release Rez and make it free but I guess that’s just being greedy XD

Aha!, And what did I say when I called in to the show?! It would either be a crappy game or some game we already have!
*Stomps around the room pissed*

scratch that reaper. there is a deadline. Wed - Sunday is when it’ll be free

I own all the XBLA titles. I keep reading call support, but no one has actually said what will be going down. Am I getting a 800MS point refund?

Reaper if possible take your HDD to your friends house and Download it then you will have it.

I’m cool with it, but the call thing could work still. I mean what if I wasn’t cool with that game. If you call and complain, they might credit your account with 800 points or if you already have it. Just depends on the stand they would want to take. I’m speaking from a Customer Service point of view, you never know and if I had it, I would be calling an asking for an 800 points credit. Looking forward to Wed, got the demo and loved what I saw of it.
