Xbox GM Apology & Free Arcade Game!
 
Quote:

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

So what will happen, will we get a link when we sign into Live?

Who knows? A link, an email, a smack in the face with a wet kipper? Dunno mate, just have to wait and see I suppose. :)

Hang on though, check out the bit in the url that says: en-US. Then go to the UK xbox site and amazingly, no sign at all of this for the UK. After the number of xbox Live events for the US only, it wouldn't surprise me if this was just for the US too. They seem to conveniently forget all non-US xbox owners time after time!

I can understand what you're saying but the offer is world wide. :)
