Starting 12:01 AM PDT November 15th and ending 11:59PM PDT November 16th Xbox Live Silver and Gold members can download Carcassonne (800 Marketplace points/10.00USD value) for free!

Not only that but if you've been a Gold member of XBL since November 15, 2002 you get 500 Marketplace points! For those that are curious its 6.25USD or one Guitar Hero song pack.

So go get your free Carcassonne tomorrow.

So... wait. basically... for paying out your ass for 5 years for Xbox live, they decide to give you a free month? Bollocks!

Bitch, bitch, bitch.

Be glad you get anything with that attitude, mister!

both of you, keep it down!

And yes, I agree with keavy.
They could just as well have said "Hurray XBL 5 years! hurray hurray for us!" and get it over with.
At least they give you something you can use for your console for free which normally values 10USD.

And um... if you're so concerned about paying so much to XBL...
Mind calculating what FFXI has cost you over the years you've played it?

I'm just pissed off that you have to have been subscribed to Xbox live since its release date.

=p

If you read it right, that's only for the extra.

Just so you know, that free game is addictive as hell.

I downloaded it around 12:30AM and was up for another three hours playing it!

They provide a service, you have to pay for it. It's the nature of the world.

I shall have to grab this free download even if I don't end up using it

I know, I'm just complaining that you gotta have been a Xbox live member since the start.

And really, I didn't get an Xbox UNTIL Live was up... and I finally played Halo 1.

Umm...I joined XBL when I got my 360.
