They'll probably twist it into a free trial instead. Was it supposed to be released yesterday?

What if you are stuck downloading it and it goes past 48 hours. What are you gonna do then?

Get better broadband? The arcade games aren't massive files so they shouldnt take long to download.

This is a pretty good deal, they're making it free (as promised), but they'll also make some dough on this one.

That schedule released on a site a little while back wasn't official. It had Lumines Live coming out on Sept. 6, but that's not the case anymore either.

It might help some. There is an explanation of how to play the game and such in there like Uno does.

Woohooo, so far I'm dominating my friends, I can really see how this could get addictive!

It'll be better with the vision camera.. make the whole bluffing deal more interactive and challanging!

I played with Random Hero last night.. after he left I cleaned the table out for close to 3,000. :-D

... then I lost 1,000 later that night :(

I suck pretty bad at Texas holdem...I will admit that. I don't really get how to play, so I might just end up pushing Y, Y all the time!

I was just thinking if the Live Vision cam works with this poker game then emmm something comes to mind...

Anyone up for some 'Strip Poker'? :D :p

Hahaha it was a joke only so no one take offense just see the funny side of it.

I almost lost all of it today! :(

I need to stop playing this or I'll get an addiction to it. Especially with achievements thrown in on top of that (although this game I don't really care for them for some reason)!

I'll send ya a request today at some point r33.

The game is fun, really quick to get into.. My only gripe is that you need to hit "A" to confirm the most mundane things durin ggame, you cant kick people from a table and searching for games is pretty archaic. Would have been nice if you could search for a custom game and have a list populate.

Other than that, I'm still up overall :-D

This game is driving me crazy.

The first night I got it I was on fire... gaining like $1000 in a couple of hands, but as of the last 4-5 times ive played ive gone bankrupts at least 4 times. AHHHHH. Either I SUCK at poker, or I have the worst luck imaginable.

The worst part is when I loose a lot of $, I dont have crappy hands. Like I just played a hand where I had an Ace and a Queen, the five cards were as follows: 2, 5, Ace, King, Ace. So im feeling pretty good and decide to raise... the F'ing computer had 2 F'ing Aces in its hand... AHHHHHHHH.

Ehhhh, poker is depressing :( .

I know what you mean. I'm going to take a break from this for a bit since I just want to finish Dead Rising right now.
