Yeah, I got that this morning too. I went into the trial, in the main menu of the trial it says hit X to unlock the full game. I hit X and it downloaded. I kept getting some weird error code when I tried to download the full game.

Still borked, I wonder what compensation we will get for Live being borked due to the compensation for Live being borked... This could get expensive...

I'll be calling M$ since I already bought the game. At first, I was kinda disappointed with my impulsive buy (reading the good reviews an all), but yesterday I gave this game another chance and let me tell you it's pretty cool.
I almost beat the game yesterday, then I played one on one and the guy quit cause he couldn't respawn anymore lol

the controls seem fine with me. it reminds me of smash TV...
and the graphics are pretty awesome... however if you have a small TV prepare to squint.
wonder how crazy this will be with 16 players.
I do like the capture the flag concept.

I think it would have been better for US to just give everyone 800 MS points, but then they couldn't capitalize on people NOT downloading it... a la mail in rebates. There are a lot of other games on the marketplace I would rather purchase than undertow.

Get over it. Microsoft didn't have to give us anything to begin with.

Get over what? I'm not complaining. It's logical for microsoft to handle the "problem" the way they are. It just seems that those who purchased Undertow previously are getting off better except for having to call microsoft. I never had a problem with Live during this period to begin with so it's a bonus for me. I had never even considered Undertow and am now looking forward to getting off work so I can download it.

The game is not too bad for an XBLA. The main issue I have is that it uses the old school Right stick to fire. Another issue is that if you get stuck in a cross fire you die almost instantly. I just try to capture 3/5 control points and then hold them, otherwise you just end up losing if you try to take all of them.

I like the right-stick, you have better control of your bullets/missiles. I think the right d-pad guy is the best, he's got good armor and strong firepower.
Hopefully I can find some online games with people now, it's funny how I'm getting into the game a month after I bought it lol

I'm thrilled there's a free game out there for the disruption on xbox live, I really am. Course as I've suffered the RROD and don't currently have my 360...

I bet way more people would have been more excited if they named it "Sea People" instead of undertow. They kind of remind me of them.

"The game is only set for download from Wednesday, 23 through Sunday, 27 what happens if your Xbox 360 console is in for repair?
If your console is in for repair, you can call the support line, the will be able to see that your console is currently in for repair and will be able to compensate you the points for the game that you would have been able to download during the period."
