Yup, my shirt and Fusion Frenzy 2 arrived yesterday. The shirt's better than I expected. It's understated - just red text on a white background, made to look like the label on an older version of Old Spice. Mine was medium for what it's worth.
Fusion Frenzy 2, on the other hand...well, at least it was free.
It does have some easy achievements though.

I got my shirt and Fusion Frenzy yesterday as well.
I have no interest in the game, but without a receipt I'm not sure what my options are other then to trade or sell it on eBay. The game is sealed and looks like it would if you bought it from a store.
Seeing as most stores require a receipt, I couldn't exchange it and get another game even paying the difference as I believe Fusion Frenzy is cheaper then the rest of the 360 games.

I bought Crackdown for $40 yesterday and pre-ordered Forza 2. I think that's enough (non-arcade) games for a while. I've got Gears of War, Oblivion, and GRAW to play through still as well.

Wal-Mart takes games without a receipt. I can take Fuzion Frenzy 2 off anyone's hands for $12.50 shipped via PayPal. (I'm in the US so media mail should run you $2ish).

This is the first XBLA game that I am actually interested in. I loved the original PoP although it was insanely hard. I never could beat it.

It took me a while to finally beat it back in the day.
Can't wait to get really frustrated all over again!

Microsoft Starts Banning Modded Xbox 360 Consoles
By: César A. Berardini - "Cesar"

Our friends from Xbox-Scene.com have received dozens of mails from users reporting that they have been banned from Xbox Live. What do all these users had in common? Apart from trying to play the Halo 3 multiplayer beta, they all have modified their Xbox 360s.
Like Microsoft did with the original Xbox and Xbox Live, the software giant is not banning Xbox Live accounts, but the systems.
Microsoft’s Global Marketing team has confirmed that the company has indeed started to ban modded Xbox 360s:
As part of our commitment to our members, we do not allow people that we have detected to have modified their console to connect to LIVE. This is an important part of our efforts to try and maintain a fair gaming environment for the large majority of gamers that play by the rules.
This topic is more important than ever given the recent release of the Halo 3 beta. As a result, some consumers that try to login to LIVE who we detect have illegally modified their console will get an error code (Status Code: Z: 8015 - 190D) when trying to connect to the service. These users will not have their account automatically banned from LIVE, but they will no longer be able to access the service from the console they modified.
These banned users get the following screen when they go to test connection after Xbox Live fails to launch:
