Microsoft's apology download Undertow has been a free game download since Wednesday, January 23rd and will continue to be free until this evening. Then, tonight at 11:59PM pacific, Microsoft will be flipping the switch and revert Undertow back to its 800 Microsoft point price tag. So, if you have yet to get your download on, we advise getting your bum on the couch and scheduling two minutes out of your Sunday to head to the XBLM and download Undertow. Now, if you miss out, you have nobody else to blame but yourself and possibly your parents for handing down lazy genetics.

A word from "Bloody Baroness", a mod over at the xbox.com forums: if your 360 is in the shop (like mine), just call customer support and tell them. She said they'll give you the points so you can buy it when your console gets back. When I called, they actually gave me a "reference number", and said I should call back once I have my console and they'll fix me up. I wasn't sure if they meant a code to download the game for free, or points, but either way it's better than nothing.

If you live in the UK you have until 8am on Monday, or Tommorrow. Well that is what the advert on the XBLM said. You can take that with a pinch of salt if you want.

Or if you're like me, and your phone line is killed and you've been waiting two weeks for the internet people to come repair the connection. I'm SOL I guess.

That is a common problem. I have alot of friends who can't Live while at Uni, but some Unis have specifically made Live work. Others have tried but the MTU of the Network make it impossible, and some block it on purpose.

My school does the same thing, but i found a way around it. If you have to sign in to the university network through a program like Cisco Clean Access (thats what my school uses) heres what you do.
1. Set the Alternate MAC address to the MAC of your computer. (I'm not sure if it matters if its your wireless or wired. I use the wired from my laptop.)
2. Log in on the computer that has the MAC you use
3. Try signing in on your xbox.
4. If that works unplug the ethernet from your computer or turn off the wireless. This is so the network doesnt get confused by having 2 of the same MAC addresses on the network at once.
That works at my school but your school may do things a bit differently than mine. I hope yo see this and try it in time to get your free game

This week has been okay, but last week I was taking 5 mins to sign into Live, and therefore my whole dashboard was just the working animation. I couldn't do anything until it managed to do whatever it does when it was doing that thing it did.

okay me and my roommate both downloaded this game for free and tried to play it. the key word there is tried. it was not any fun, and we have an hdtv and our little guys on there were still hard to see. but, whatever. it was free so i can't complain i guess, but i would not have paid money for this piece of trash in the first place. we tried this game not for just 10 seconds we played for a good 10 or 15 minutes and will now never play it again....
