There's also timed stuff I know I have about 8 arcade games and I've never paid for a single one. However most of them are not available at all times for free and required a special promotion to get.

I got Joust, Robotron: 2084, Undertow, Caracassonne, Hexic HD, Aegis Wing and Yaris for free.

I think the only ones available freely all the time are Hexic with the right system, Aegis wing(I love this game) and Yaris.

 

What sort of promotions were they? Did they offer them free when you bought a full retail game or something? And are those sorts of promotions common?


I've had my xbox360 since May of 2007, so yeah I'd say they're fairly common but not too much so. Joust and Robotron 2084 required you to have and xbox360 you had purchased in the last year or so and an xboxlive silver or gold account Plus you had to sign up to receive the codes via email. Sometimes when there's unscheduled downtime they'll make up for it with a game etc. All in all their free game policy is far better than PSN or Wiiwares(though wiiware is very new so can't expect much heh.) I'd really like to see some freebies or freebie even.
