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.

Marc announced that all Xbox LIVE members (Gold and Silver) around the world would have access to a full Xbox LIVE Arcade game to download free of charge. We’re pleased to announce that beginning next Wednesday, 2:00 a.m. PST through Sunday, 11:59 p.m. PST, Xbox LIVE members worldwide can download the full version of the recent award-winning Xbox LIVE Arcade game, Undertow.

I watched the trailer and it doesn't look too fun. :/

As a side note: Why the hell is there a content warning when trying to watch a trailer for an E rated game?

i duno, this game has been out for quite a while..I dl'ed the Trial Game when it came out ages ago and its one of the maby 5 games on the arcade I instantly deleted cause it was so bad. Cant believe M$ arent giving out a new game for free, and its only for a few days its available for free aswell. On the Canadian XBOX Forums one of the Canadian XBOX ppl said that if youve already bought the game you can call 18004myxbox and "they'll take care of you"
Im thinking to just call them and say ive downloaded it already and want something else

Reminder: Undertow is now free
Undertow is now available, free of charge, until Sunday January 27th at 11:59pm PT.
