	According to Gamerscore Blog, Microsoft is going to be offering Undertow for free as Compensation for the recent Xbox Live down time. To those of you who have already purchased Undertow; Microsoft staffer John Porcaro says "You should call support, they're prepared to take care of you." After calling 1-800-4myxbox, I was told by "Chelsea" in Xbox Live support that "no other games will be available." Of course she wouldn't give me her agent number or a unique identifying trait; so I guess we're outta luck. We'll wait for a more official response. PRESS RELEASE Undertow Free of Charge Next Week on Xbox LIVE Arcade 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. 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.

Not TOO BAD, silly HotHitter, Major Nelson says that if you already own it call up Microsoft Support and they'll do something for you (likely just give you the 800 MSPoints).

I'd rather have the 800 MS points

I would DEFINITELY rather have the 800 Microsoft Points.

The reason for that is because that is the equivalent of two things:

(1) Giving me my free month of service back

(2) Allowing me to CHOOSE which game I want
