Even though I didn't win I did enjoy trying to figure out the TeamXbox puzzles, better than Major Nelsons missing letter or number.

:up: I was so close on 3 of them. Had a window in FFX set up to a 5-second refresh on my 2nd monitor so it was easy to see a change in the page out of the corner of my eye. Had the redeem code page up in a tab on this monitor so I could easily transcribe what was over there.

I thought I'd beat the rush by getting my copy this morning, but got nothing but errors when I tried to download the full game. :(

I had the same problem too. I then tried buying it from the Live Marketplace website and (after a couple of tries) I was able to add it to my queue.

Here is what I had to do to get it to work:

1. It wasn't showing up on the Dashboard/US Marketplace, so I downloaded the demo from the Austrialian link:
http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-AU/ga...-d802584108f6/

2. When you try to unlock it, it will give an error (even the ones who can download it from the dashboard were getting this error). Go back to the Austrialian site, and you can buy it there and then once it downloads you will be able to continue as if you unlocked it in game.

Things could be fixed by now, I had to do this to play it a few hours ago however.

I started the download about half an hour ago with no problem. Unfortunately, it won't be complete until I have to leave for work.

Man I wish Microsoft didn't stick to their guns in regard to Arcade game size limits.

I got up at 6AM to DL and play. Like above, I was only able to DL the demo. Played through that while trying every once in awhile to unlock the full version, and it would never let me. Got to the end of the demo and when prompted to buy the full version then I tried it again and it worked. Then I totally played for another hour or so. It's fucking fantastic.

The download went a little quicker than I expected, so I played for a little bit before work. I didn't get very far, but I already love this game. It took me a moment to get back into a 2-D frame of mind, but once I did -- incredible. I am looking forward to spending some time with this game.

I bought it blind. Fired up the 360 while waiting for the bus with the girls and let it download without issue.

I'm dying to go try it, but I know that would be the end of my day... :(

The game is awesome. After about 45 minutes, I've uncovered 7% of the map and gotten 10% of the items.

After about 45 minutes I had to stop because the uncontrollable tears of joy were preventing me from playing the game properly.

Same, played about 30 - 45 minutes and it was pure joy. I love the achievement counters (ala Gears), the controls felt pretty tight and I actually dug the little music I heard. Really looking forward to going through this a few times.

It sucks
Spoiler:
that I can't play this game until tonight after my kids are in bed.

I turned the system on to download at lunch and it was going painfully slow. Pretty unusual for XBL.
