As a fan of WoW, I like to see n00b’s reactions sometimes. Justine started playing…
From Justine: “Well, I finally had a few free minutes which turned into hours.. which then turned into hours of free time I really didn’t have to waste. But I did it anyway.

It will also be sold for the same price as a digital download on the Playstation Store.

” Don’t forget that today is the last day to download your personal apology game from XBLA for free. For the uninformed, I will encapsulate the situation as best I can.

For those who have already downloaded the game, Microsoft will be pleased to offer you 800 MS points if you can traverse the mine field that is their customer service line.
Now that you are all caught up you can use the remaining hours of today to download your free game or attempt to get your free points. You have until midnight, so get crackin’.”
