Players get free game for troubles of Xbox Live
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Microsoft said Friday that it will give Xbox 360 owners a free video game to make up for poor performance over the holidays by the system's online hub.
Gamers log on to the Xbox Live Web site to buy games, television shows and movies to load onto their consoles, and interact with other players.
Video game blogs such as Joystiq recently reported that players had a slew of problems with the site over the holidays, including trouble signing in, downloading media and getting matched up with online opponents.
