Kotaku says Microsoft said they have something in store for Gold members that'll make it up to us for the horrible downtime.

Wonder what it'll be...

**julez** · 01-02-2008, 07:33 PM

yay hopefully its gonna be some spare MS points
hopefully enough to get the new halo maps

**TeamOverload** · 01-02-2008, 07:33 PM

100 ms points. Microsoft's cheap.

Hardrive · 01-02-2008, 07:35 PM

Just enough MS points that you'll need to buy more to do anything with them. They'll transform it into a marketing ploy.

**androidkaita** · 01-02-2008, 07:54 PM

yay, hopefully 100, then ill have 400 to buy sonic

**-TheSilenceOfNoOne-** · 01-03-2008, 09:24 PM

Surprise announced -- Not as cheap as you thought.

1 Free arcade game -- approx $16 USD.

**Anti-QuickJay** · 01-03-2008, 09:31 PM

Sweet.
Hopefully its a good game...It may be like a 400 point cheap game though...

**twelve** · 01-03-2008, 09:55 PM

Wishful thinking...

*fingers crossed for Omega 5*

**-TheSilenceOfNoOne-** · 01-03-2008, 09:55 PM

Nonono... Its ANY 1 free arcade game.

Lol, hopefully they wont have a you-can't-use-this-offer-to-buy-the-following-games-because-theyre-too-awesome list. -.-

**Joey** · 01-03-2008, 09:57 PM

I was about to say... You probably get a choice.

**Anti-QuickJay** · 01-03-2008, 10:00 PM

a full Xbox LIVE Arcade game that will be available to download free of charge.

They mention "A" game download that will be able to be downloaded, that makes me think they already have one set on being free...

If its any arcade game then you will have to make your selection and then let them know and they will send you a redemption code, or unlock it on the marketplace for free. The amount of work involved with doing that is unfeasible.

If they're going to allow open choice then the only feasible way to do it is to credit you with 400 or 800 points and then you buy the game. Seeing as they wont do it this way it will be a game of their choosing.

My bet is on Hexic 2. Which will be a shame as I already own that. Or maybe a choice of a few games, I doubt it will be open choice on any arcade game.

**Joey** · 01-03-2008, 10:03 PM

That's the thing... If they choose a game that somebody already owns, they're getting f*cked twice.

It's going to have to be a choice, because if they pick a game I already own, I'm gonna be even more pissed.

I'm gonna be screwed already because whenever a XBLA game comes out that interests me I buy it.

**Anti-QuickJay** · 01-03-2008, 10:07 PM

Its going to be a newly released arcade game...
For example, Omega 5 gets released on XBL and on that day they tell people they can downalod that game for free.
Atleast thats what I think.
I 99.9% know they wont give you a choice, its too much work. It will be like that one game they gave out, carcassone(sp?).

**Mister Chief** · 01-03-2008, 10:09 PM

Come on Puzzle Quest!

I agree, it might be something new or something retro they've had planned for a while.

I would love for it to be Rez or Omega 5. I'd cream my pants for either of them.

**Anti-QuickJay** · 01-03-2008, 10:16 PM

I hope its Omega 5 if they do do it that way....Its actually nice knowing Microsoft is doing this, I didnt expect them to give out anything for free...

**Mister Chief** · 01-03-2008, 10:17 PM

Omega 5 makes sense since no one has it already.

**twelve** · 01-03-2008, 10:19 PM

But it seems a bit daft to release their biggest upcoming XBLA game for free. Unless it's going to be a 1 day only freebie for Gold members only.

**Anti-QuickJay** · 01-03-2008, 10:20 PM

They say all Xbox Live members, so Sliver members count?
If so then I know 100% sure they wont give you a choice on what game.

Yes, they do.

**Joey** · 01-03-2008, 10:22 PM

I hope it's not Omega 5, because that game looks like arse...

I really just want 800 points... There's no games I really want, except Castle Crashers, but who the hell knows when that's coming out.

OT: LOL at your sig link

Yeah, like carcassone. It's free for to download for 24 hours so as long as you start the download when its free you'll get it no problem. Like Carcassonne, I started the DL then went onto Halo 3 (which obv stopped the dl) then I turned off and it downloaded the following day. So long as the dl is started you can download it whenever you like.

Either way, mega mistake.

1/20 of Xbox Live members will not be on and call in for complaints.

OR

99% of all Members will call in for complaints.

**Synyster gates** · 01-03-2008, 11:09 PM

well they can't just throw up a free game forever and say here you go.
People that weren't even effected (like me) can grab a game they don't deserve.
