not all, only ONE live arcade game.
but what was the best was the first comment from the link: QUOTE In the end, whats truly laughable about this - is the fact that when live goes down, the very DRM'ed content they are offering you - is USELESS when your 360 ends up going in for repair or you upgrade. LIVE down and all your DLC/Arcade is useless if you have changed console.I'd much rather them fix the DRM issue, and allow us to resign XBLA and DLC content to a new 360 - than any free amount of content. Fix the cause you know? Not the symptom. |

^It still works, but you need to connect to Live. Still very problematic if your XBLA come from various account...
Since the approach Microsoft taking are very much Itunes alike, they should have let user to "enable" it on few Xbox360, like Itune DRMed music can be play on up to 5 PC. |

I dont know why no one bothered to create a thread to alert everyone, I knew about the start of the free download when they announce it on Jan 18. It is free from Jan 23 to Jan 27, so for those who havent downloaded the game, do so. It is an alright game for something so cheap (800 MS points) and better yet, it is free.
XBL Arcade, go for it. |
