Free = Good PR!!

So i have raved about the Xbox Live on my blog before and i am again.

Today at 1am PCT the Xbox Live Arcade came "Texas Hold Em" was released to the masses for the first 48 hours... for FREE!!

Yup thats right as of right now until Friday morning at 1am PCT again, you can get the entire game for free, not just the demo. That is great PR for any company in the game industry. This should be the new standard (i realize that it won't, no one will make money, but still) in downloadable content. If you want people to be swayed from one side of "the console war" to another, offer them free games.

I started my DL this morning so that i wouldn't miss out on this one. I can only hope that maybe some of the new "Indy" games will do something of the same from now on. Being this is the only other Arcade game that i have the full version of that is saying a lot that i got it now. At least until Lumines Live comes out at the begining of next month.
