If only MS had done the same thing a few years back when live was down fomr a couple fo days ... all we got was some BS game called undertow,

Says something that Dead Space 3 is in the list after only being out for a short while.

Not a bad line up.  Wonder what they will do if you already own all those?

I'm wondering if I could exploit the situation and take the opportunity to buy Sim City and get Dead Space 3 along with it.  Supposedly anyone who registers their game by the 25th can get one of the free games.

Probably, but it depends if you really want SimCity or not. You can get the boxed copy of Dead Space 3 on Amazon now for $45 . SimCity alone will run you 59.99 at the moment.

I honestly had heard nothing about this new Sim City until it released, but I did used to enjoy the games.
