Xbox Live users are to be getting a treat; for the first 48 hours after launch, Microsoft's 'Texas Hold'Em' will be free! It means that Xbox 360 users everywhere have the opportunity to play online poker without having to pay the price that might normally be associated with the game. The offer is only available from 0800 GMT, August 23rd for 48 hours, lasting until 0800 GMT, August 25th.
Microsoft's statement: "Not only is 'Texas Hold 'em' free to all gamers, this title comes equipped with features that can only be found on Xbox 360. Designed to simulate the risk-reward of real poker gameplay, keep gamers honest, and discourage opponents from betting too recklessly, 'Texas Hold 'em' has an innovative new feature called Persistent Bankroll. Your virtual bankroll is tied to your Xbox Live Gamertag and keeps a running tally of your chip count. If you lose all of your chips in a poker game, you'll have to play lower stakes buy-in games to make back your stack and earn your way to the big tables."
If you're busy, and miss the opportunity to play for free, the title will be available for 800 Microsoft points.
