Woohoo, I'm very happy with this news, as is the Achievement whore in me because it'll mean free achievements too...

Can't say I was definately going to buy it but this is still a nice surprise.
Was anybody here definately getting it? Because if so, your about to save a tenner

robinph

I definately would not have been getting this, but seeing as it's now going to be free I'll get it anyway incase it turns out to be worthwhile. They seem to be pricing more stuff at the 800 and 1200 point brackets now which I think is way too much for what are mostly 20 year old games with possibly some minor graphical updates. The 400 for Geometary Wars was well worth it though.

Smoggy

was just about to post the samething as robinph, 800 is a little excess for a game of cards, online or not.

Kristok

sounds cool anyone know what else is planned after that ?

Clover

well seen as it's free it's for me i will download this on the first day.

TheChrisD

The free period will have loads of people downloading it - the achievments better be easy to get!

Ronan

Typical, they wheel out the free stuff the week I am on holidays.

Hey dudes,

MIcrosoft will link your gamer tag to 10,000 credits to start.

But when you tilt you only get 100 buy back.

You have to work your way back up to 10,000+ the hard way.

e.g. via the small limit tables.

Soooooo...i can't see the achievements being too easy.

In any case: CAn't wait.

You should beable to play a real money game where u spend MS Points to gain MS points. But I cant see this happening , as MS will be condoning gamberling.

Clover

downloading this now , it's around 26 megs .

You can download the game onto a memory unit. Once you download it once, live registers it as purchased. So you can download it again at any time.

if you bring your memory card into Xbox Live gaming centre they'll let you download it onto Mu for free.

Anyone up for a game 2nite?! "Julez13" if any of you wanna play, get a good old Irish game going!

brav
