I personally can't wait for this to come out. Keeping a running track of your chip count is an awesome idea. Certainly will have to get an HDC Poker night going.

So is it permanently free if you download in this timeframe, or do you have to pay for it after the 48 hours are up?

Yep, it's free and clear if DL'd before the 25th--800 MP's thereafter.

Cool. I was going to bump this tonight to remind everyone to download this free swag. We're going to certainly put together an HDC Hold'em match.

I also played it last night. Took some time but finally won the first tourny round for single player. I'll try tonight to do the second round. Getting all the acheivements in this game might take some time.
