To download again it wants you to use your MS points, or you can get the trial. Well after getting the trial, it will not load again. <br /> <br />The other 2 games work. Ms. Pac Man is a download, you get a redeem code with 48 hours of Xbox Live Gold Free and Ms. Pac Man, so you will need a internet connection to get it.

Rather than being able to simply download a patch via X-Box Live as you do with any other title, this one instead insists that you redownload the game files. Being that the game came on a disc and thusly there is no purchase record for it on your XBL account, you would have to pay the 800 points to buy the game there. <br /> <br />Upon contacting Microsoft's support line for this issue, I've learned that they have been aware of this issue since November. This begs the question of why it it was (and still is) available for purchase all throughout the holiday season when they were aware that it was defective. They also claim that they have two teams working on correcting the issue and that a fix will be issued soon, but if they expect us to believe that Microsoft can dedicate two teams of engineers toward solving a ridiculous patch issue for a 45 MB game and have them fail to find a solution after six weeks (the length of time I've been fighting with them over this), then they really have reached the point where they hold their customers in utter contempt. <br /> <br />Stay far, far away from this one, and if you've already had your money stolen by these bungling thieves, feel free to harass their tech support over the phone at 1-800-4MYXBOX. Just be prepared to ask for someone who speaks decent English, as you will be connected to a call center in India or Mexico for this one. It shows.

Upon contacting Microsoft’s support line for this issue, I’ve learned that they have been aware of this issue since November.
