Zombie Wranglers listed early on the XBLA [Update]

Clicking through the Arcade recommendations for the Halloween themed promotional page reveals Zombie Wranglers is intended to be released in October but clicking on the title actually reveals it is already available for purchase on the service for 800MS points. Unfortunately no demo is available, which is why we assume the title was accidentally placed on the service.
Looking forward to Zombie action? Get it while it's hot ... because as soon as Microsoft discovers it, it will most likely be pulled for the actual planned release date. More images of the menu after the jump.
Ed. Note: When searching through the Xbox Live Arcade titles normally, Zombie Wranglers is not listed and can only be found if you come across a promotional banner for Shocktober - which pops up randomly among other ads. We've only had the ad appear on accounts in the USA.
[Update: The content is listed but not available for download at this time.]

Xav, what theme is that? Is that a DP theme?
If I was at home I'd grab Zombie Wranglers, cause I know it'll be gone by the time I make it back. Damn MS ninjas!

I do like the theme, I tend to like the more simplistic themes as some can be overbearing. I am in the same boat: stuck away from home and for too long.

What is DP an abbreviation for?

Theme as in the theme of the "event." Not a downloadable dashboard theme.

I tried to download Zombie Wranglers from the Shocktober ad, but it would not let me - it popped up an error message.

Shocktober huh. Sure is a polished idea considering last year all we got was Mutant Storm empires which was a good game but still, really going all out this year heh.

It is a DP theme called 'Futura Resistance'

It looks great on this dash layout but I'm afraid it won't look so good anymore on the NXE.
It's a shame you can't download the game. I only have 480 MSP right now so I couldn't try buying it.
