Server's have been fixed, all issues resolved and Defense Grid is free until July 14th!
UPDATE: June 20th, 2013
With the announcement of free games coming to Xbox 360 to all Xbox Live Gold subscribers, now is the time for Xbox Live Silver members to sign up as not only is it cheap for 3 months, you get a set of free games too every month.
Those who are Silver Members right now, they can spend $15 for Xbox Live Gold through the dashboard on their Xbox 360. When you sign up, the first game that you will be able to get for free is Fable III. If that is not the type of the game you usually play, you can wait for next month for Xbox Lives new free games that will be rolled out.
Ok to all those who are still clueless of what's going on with this thing that Microsoft is doing, here's a break down!
They mentioned two free games every month, once the game has been released you have until the end of the month to download it for free (or a 30 day time span to my knowledge)... in my opinion that's plenty of time to obtain the title. Now here's where some of you don't quite understand what's going on, they're only releasing one title on the 1st and one title on the 16th of EVERY MONTH until the end of the year starting in July. They are not releasing two titles at the same time and they are not announcing what titles are being released for free. If you would like to know what games are available for download for free, I will provide you with the proper link to go to for which you could check back onto every 1st and 16th of the month to see what was released!
