I don’t think this is a good deal AT ALL.
I am a subscriber and I felt the hurting when I couldn’t play with my buddies online. Some BS game that you would normally ignore any other day of the week is as silly as offers get. How about you give us 800 points (the equivalent of most of the arcade games) so that at the very least you can either purchase or at least you’d be half way through a purchase for something you really want.

I have already bought all the XBLA games I want, some free game that I would normally not even wonder about does little to forget the fact that for a couple of days, I was not able to play with my buddies or download anything for that matter.

M$ doesn’t even offer a way to tell them what I am writing here.

This was the second time they’ve used XBLA as some kind of GREAT gift for their paying customers.

The first was with this “thank you” where you could only download from a choice of crappy games, and this is the second time.

I’d rather have the points or a month for free.

Im just waiting for the day that this house of cards comes down, like ENRON.

yes it is pretty broken as of latley. I think a free XBLA game and bringing things up to speed would be ok in my books. But ya playing COD4 and other games at times is near impossible at times. Fix it and i want a free game. Thank you Moneysoft. But most important -> Fix it.

In the coming weeks. Just great. And I love how they say intermittent. It’s been anything but that up here near Montreal. Spin doctors. Hate them.

@used cisco

Mass Influx Subscriptions = Live Down (if you believe MS)

Prepare to be onslaughted by Xbox 360 Holiday Sales figures and (as hinted) Xbox Live subscription numbers to boot.

Like any good console PR does these days, they are going to spin this into their advantage.

I’d rather have a free month of Xbox Live Gold, but apparantly it’s cheaper to hand pick some arcade games to give away for free.

If they offer Bomberman Live, which I just got (admittedly because I got some free points with my purchase of Mass Effect) then I shall be *slightly* annoyed. However, sounds great.

Sounds to me like they didn’t actually fix anything, just waited for traffic to settle down after the Holiday break so things would return to normal.
