No, bad! I already have Uno and had to give away a free code for Uno.

- Nice, good gesture on their part...though adding another few weeks to everyones subs wouldnt have hurt either

- Why is MS making this so complicated - it would be easier to credit everyone's account with 1000 points or a free month of gold access. Instead, they'll come up with a complicated system which ensures at least some people will get screwed (I am sure there are people out there who own every single XBLA game).

You never know, they could do exactly that. -

- If someone owns 'every single xbox live game' they're hardly likely to bitch and moan about being out of service for a few days; they probably went out and played with their porsche for a while, or hired a personal lapdancer for the duration of downtime.

I own every single one, except for the ones I downloaded from my US account.
Damn restrictions.

- Yeah, it sounds kind of lame, 1000 points and a 400 point game is more than we lost. We only lost about a week and a half worth of LIVE, that's about $2 worth in comparison to a year. 800 points is already $10. So a free month of LIVE (about $4) would be nice.

- That is great and all, but utterly useless (for me) My 360 has been dead for 2 weeks now and MS still are on Holidays here
(my 360 has come to life 3 times now, for about 1 hour at a time before RRODing again) still, I guess I should be very grateful, at least my 360 will be fixed at no cost to me, so I have no right to complain about how long it takes...still irritating mind you! (considering they still haven't told me anything, they haven't even asked me to send the 360 back to them yet..)
