Just got it into the download queue, hoping it'll work when I check my 360 in a few minutes. Also hoping I can play it with my regular account, but if not, oh well.

This is probably a dumb question, sorry about that, but there's no way to link the game to US account right? I'll have to play it with my taiwan account?
Microsoft ties your games to both your gamertag and one system. The first console you download an item to is licensed to play it. Any gamertag can play the game on that system. You can also play the game on any system if the gamertag that owns it is logged in.
What that means is if you use a foreign account to download it, you can sign back in on that console with your GT and play it just fine. You can't put the game on a usb drive and take it to your friend's house to play it without using the foreign GT.
Keep the account info. If you get a new console you can do a license transfer on the foreign account once a year to assign the game to another machine.

Just downloaded this and played it for thirty minutes. I'm actually embarrassed that my friends have seen me playing this, I hope they don't think I paid for it. I can't complain about a free game, but this is just awful. I made my own twin stick shooter in two days for a game jam that was better than this mess.
I hate to say it, but I'd actually say that I had more fun with Yaris and Dash of Destruction than I did with Sanctum of Slime, and those games didn't have the nerve to charge $10 for a download.
But once again, free is free, so I can't really complain. I just feel bad for the people who did pay full price.

You can play it with any Gamertag... but only on the console it was downloaded to...
EDIT 2: louiedog answered my question before I even asked it. Moot question. =P
EDIT: Oh yeah, and the download worked without a hitch. Glad to finally get one after missing out on Earthworm Jim, PvZ, and Swarm... I don't care if it isn't that good, it's a free game, and it's got the Ghostbusters theme at the menu screen. I'm more than pleased. XD

Best method by far! Currently downloading. Can't pass up on a free game.

Damn, I didn't know that they offered Earthworm Jim for free. I'm mad I missed that. What's PvZ?

Yeah... it was a year or so ago, got it free on a Japanese account. I had an issue creating one, but it wouldn't have mattered, as I was a day or two too late. XS
Still, out of 4 games I know of, getting at least 1 free isn't terrible, considering I didn't know about the first 3 until the offers were over/fixed. =P
And I know someone already answered but it's Plants vs. Zombies. I'm not too upset about missing it, since I bought it for the PC as a gift for my girlfriend last year. ... That, and I don't care for it enough to play it very often. X3

That's awesome. Now I remember that I got Hexic 2 for free through an outside account. I don't know if anyone got this.

Finally got it to work and added to my fake account queue. An important step that seems to be missing if doing it solely on Xbox.com is when trying to download it and it brings you to the address/billing screens, if you see 2 gray boxes with a green one in the middle, the gray box on the left is always "skip", that will get you past the CC screen without the need to fill it in.

Wow this is funny. I was really looking forward to this game and downloaded the demo almost the minute it was put up. I was gonna drop the 800 points if it was anything but the total shits....which it was!
I was so disappointed and deleted it. But I'll take it for free lol. THANKS

Did this, but opened a US Xbox.com window to see what the stuff says.
Also, make it over 21. My buddy had to make a parent account when he put 20.

For some reason t's not working for me, either way it's asking for 800 msp. I wonder if it had anything to do with the fact that when I created my account I put my US address so even though I pull up the Taiwan account when I go to purchase the game it switches over to the us site.
