Microsoft has announced that they will
be giving all Gold members a full free arcade game for the
malfunction issues over the Christmas break. In the next coming
weeks Microsoft will share these details with everyone around
the world on how to download this arcade game.
Dear Xbox LIVE
Members:
During this past holiday season you
helped us break a number of Xbox LIVE records. This included
our largest sign-up of new members to Xbox LIVE in our 5 year
history and just yesterday you broke the record for the single
biggest day of concurrent members ever on the service.
As a result of this massive increase
in usage we know that some of you experienced intermittent
Xbox LIVE issues over the holiday break. While the service
was not completely offline at any given time, we are disappointed
in our performance. I would like to take this moment to thank
you each and every one of you for your patience and understanding
as our team has worked around the clock to return the service
to a stable state.
At the same time we would like to offer
a token of our appreciation to all of you in celebration of
record success for the service. And as a thank you for your
loyalty during this holiday period, we will be offering all
of our Xbox LIVE members around the world access to a full
Xbox LIVE Arcade game that will be available to download free
of charge. In the coming weeks we will be sharing the specific
details of this offer with you.
Thank you again for helping make Xbox
LIVE everything that it is today!
Sincerely,
Marc Whitten
General Manager, Xbox LIVE
