Microsoft Gives Away XBLA Title Undertow

Posted by x3sphere at January 18, 2008, 12:50 pm


Late last month, Microsoft announced that they would be giving away a free Xbox Live Arcade game to all Xbox Live members (Gold and Silver) as compensation for the problems users had with the Xbox Live service over the holiday period.

Now, that Xbox Live Arcade title has been revealed. Microsoft will be offering the aquatic action shooter Undertow free of charge from 2:00 a.m. PST Wednesday, January 23 through 11:59 p.m. PST, Sunday, January 27.

What to do if you already own the game? Call up Microsoft’s support line (1-800-4-MYXBOX if you’re in the US) once the game is released on Wednesday and they’ll take care of you.

Recently, Xbox.com posted a letter from Marc Whitten, General Manager of Xbox LIVE, thanking subscribers for their patience with the service. We’ve implemented several improvements to the service, to help ensure ongoing reliability and performance. As the popularity of Xbox LIVE expands, we’ll continue to closely monitor the service and make adjustments. As always, if you are having any problems, please contact your local support (1-800-4-MYXBOX in North America) so that we can assist you.
