We had earlier reported that “Texas Hold ’em” will not be free, but there is some relief to the news. The game will be free only for the first 48 hours after its release.
According to the Microsoft website:
This full-featured poker title for Xbox Live Arcade on Xbox 360 will launch on Wednesday, August 23, at 0800 GMT (1:00 A.M. Pacific Time).For 48 hours only—through 0800 GMT (1:00 A.M. Pacific Time) Friday, August 25—as a special limited-time only promotion, all Xbox Live Gold and Silver members can download the game at no charge. Starting at 0801 GMT (1:01 A.M. Pacific Time) Friday, August 25, Texas Hold ’em will be available for 800 Microsoft Points.
Get set to rush within the first 48 hours or you’ll miss the bus!
