However, Microsoft has yet to confirm whether it intends to refund points to Xbox Live members who have already purchased the game.
During the Christmas period, Xbox Live users complained of not being able to access the service, but Microsoft, which claims the problems were caused by an increase in the number of gamers joining Xbox Live, decided not to compensate users, but to 'thank' them by issuing a free game.
