edited November 2007 in Games and Technology
So, those with Xbox Live know that this week Microsoft has been advertising the Xbox Live is 5ive campaign with free stuff.

Well, according to xbox.com Carcassone is free Tomorrow (11/15) and Friday!

If, like me, you never got around to downloading it when it came out, and you love free Xbox Live Arcade titles, here you go!

Edit: Fixed Link, darn copy/paste.

    I bought this game when it came out and I've played it a whole bunch. I love this kind of casual strategy game. Also it's one of the few games I can convince my housemates to play with me.

    Played the demo, and didn't really get it...

    But if it's free, I suppose I could try to learn again.

    I was willing to pay full price for the game so this is awesome news. But I feel kind of bad for the people that bought it right before the announcement.

    I own the "big box" version of the board game and play it all the time. I wasn't going to pay for the video game version as a result (it would just be redundant), but I'm more than happy to get it for free for those times when my friends don't want to play.

    This is a game I wouldn't have tried normally, but since it's free I'll definitely fire it up. Since I'm not paying $10 for the game, I'd be a lot more inclined to buy the DLC for it.

    So, basically, instead of getting no money from me, they may get a few bucks out of me for DLC. Good Game, MS.

    I just want to reiterate that, this game is worth paying for. Which I did do. So getting it for free is ++good.

    I'm not so sure about Carcassone... what I am sure about is Talisman (stupidly delayed until next year)!

    I own all but one of the official Talisman expansions, and several unofficial ones. I can't wait to see how it translates to a modern gaming system (the 1985 version wasn't exactly mind blowing).

    It's a shame Carcassone costs so much for you to be unsure about it.

    Well, the board game was interesting, but didn't blow wind up my kilt.

    And it -would- cost me something, since I have neither a 360 or a P3 yet. Yes, I'm a luddite.

    If I don't have a next gen device by the time Talisman comes out, however, I'll probably bite the bullet and get whichever has the better games (probably 360) so I can download me some Talisman.

    Guys, if I wanted to get the actual box version of say, this or Catan, where would be a good place to look? Toys R Us? Is there somewhere I can find a list of gaming stores?

    Toys R Us probably has it, but you could also go to Games By James in the mall or your local gaming store (if they still exist).

    I'm sure you can buy it online as well.

    Amazon carries them, at really good prices at that. If you're against shopping online, you can generally get them at places like Go, The Game Store.

    Amazon has it but I don't know if you want to go somewhere specific.
    We used to have a lot of Wizards of the Coast store around me.
    Now we just have one comic shop in central Jersey that also sells board games.

    This is probably a stupid question, but is it specific to XBL for America? I know that I can setup a US XBL account, but I really can't be bothered and I wouldn't mind not getting it if it was made clear that I can't :P

    Like UNO, it was such a good, relaxing experience and soothed me after my angers at CoD4 on Veteran.

    I'd totally be up for a Carcassone night this weekend.

    Try it. I did not see anything on the xbox link that said US only, but I don't work for MS and make no claims for how they do their stuff. Just go into the Arcade and try to download Carcassone, if it's 800 points, then it's NA only I guess.

    I'm in canada, I downloaded it fine. The op mentions that Hexic 2 is the free game in Korea, so I'm assuming it's a worldwide thing.

    Depends where you are. If your in America, you can hit up www.boardgamegeek.com and start hitting the ads and such. Lots of online discount shops there.

    If your not in the states, you'll have to look a bit harder. I might be able to help with that too.

    I highly recommend Thoughthammer.com. They're top notch, decent prices, and free shipping at $100 I think, which is pretty good, considering how much those games cost to ship.
