In weeks of late, Xbox Live has been as reliable as a faulty light bulb, and it seems Microsoft has decided to step up.
 
"…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…"
 
Please note, they didn’t say your choice of an XLA game.  The really nice thing to do would’ve been to give everyone 800 MS points to blow on whatever the fuck we want, but instead we’ll probably get Sneak King 2: Tactical Burger Action.
 
See you in the game (Hah!).

BreakmanX (AKA Matthew Nyquist) founded BreakmanX.com in 2001 after having small video game websites since around 1996. Things really took off in September of 2002 when he started The Game Show with Richie. BreakmanX.com quickly developed a tight knit community of gamers as the crew covered major industry events and interviewed top industry talent. Break later went to the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts to get his MFA in Film and TV Production. He worked in Hollywood for seven years with people like Fred Roos (The Godfather Trilogy, Star Wars) and Dane Davis (The Matrix). He's now gone full circle and returned to Kansas to write and direct a feature film (EyesOpenMovie.com), relaunch The Game Show (BreakmanX.com), and spend his day time hours as an tenured Associate Professor.
