The first Voltron Episode is free for download on XBOX LIVE.

Does anyone know of a website that lists when downloads or games become free for download on Xbox Live. I remember recently Undertow was free to download for a limited time. I would like to know when others become free.

Major Nelson usually posts when that happens, but that's all I know of.

I just watched it the other day, and boy is the writing bad. It's amazing how many things you loved as a kid doesn't hold up to common sense.

But that's part of the charm!

(I agree, though).

i just fast forwarded through damn near the whole thing. i couldn't handle more than 1 minutes of their jabbering at a time. what a miserable program. now i know why i barely even liked it as a kid. thanks for the heads up though. it's always fun to see what sort of lousy tripe entertained me back in the days of underoos.

You really have to prepare yourself before going back to the old cartoons... like be overly aware how terrible they are and that it was done better as a comic.

I downloaded this because my cat is named Voltron.

The Zelda "toon" from the Mario Super Show gives you cancer. It's THAT bad.

Voltron at least has the cool transformations and the awesomely bad "death" without dying. But he disappears FOREVER! (well, they commissioned new episodes for English only and he does return, but still)

Thanks OP.

Remember: EPISODE ONE OF IRON RING is also FREE FOR DOWNLOAD.

Oh I remember those, the Zelda show was on Friday mornings. I remember Link always saying to Zelda, "Well Excuuuuuuuuuu-uuuuuuse me! PrinCESS!"

Does anyone remember the show and toys M.A.S.K.? Now that was cool.

Yeah, I saw that offer for the free download. I did get all 5 seasons on DVD for free through PepsiStuff. My kids enjoy them but I agree that it was hard to sit through and watch. Of course as a kid waiting on the school but to arrive, it was just about the only thing on TV to watch on our 4 channels. :) Cartoons today just have so much better graphics and special affects that the bad writing is overshadowed. :)

Voltron is like the Go-bots and Silverhawks: great when you were a kid, but kind of craptacular later on. But hey, free is still free, especially when it's something on XBox live.

Voltron is an awesome cartoon because you'll never see another Norwegian named Sven in a cartoon.

SO I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO REMEMBERS DINO-RIDERS!

I went on ebay to check out prices for some of the old toys and thought about buying a few. They were/are awesome toys... just not $60 for a lot of random dinosaurs and possibly incomplete armor awesome.

So I just checked, and it's apparently not free anymore. Is this deal dead already?

Are you sure you were looking at episode 1? Did you go to it through the Inside XBox post on the dashboard about it?

If you did and it's not free anymore, I guess I'm lucky I downloaded it last night then.
