After 48 hours it will be 800 MS Points. The free version will NOT expire and it is the FULL version. MS are generously giving us this as a promotion basically.

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/726/726945p1.html

At around 1am Pacific Time tonight, the game will be available to download.

Can't wait for this--- anyone else going to get this? Who wants to play poker tomorrow

Just wanted to get this out there as it would suck having to pay 800 points (around $14.00) for a game that was originally free.

I'm certainly gonna get this. I don't play poker, but what the heck, it's free! Actually, I saw the words 'free', and '360'(not a word, bah), and I logged on the marketplace without reading that the game was now actually out yet...

Yah--- same here. Even though I don't have an Xbox Live Gold account (yet), I'm still going to get it to hold onto. In the future when I order the yearly gold membership I'll already have the game to play online

Plus you can play single-player anyways, and from the looks of it the single player experience is quite large.

Now what my guess is that it has a virus in it and you then have to download antispyware on there for $100...
