Texas Hold ‘Em
Are you all in? Well, in about 10 or so hours…if you’re lucky you will be. As stated last week, Texas Hold ‘Em will release tonight (morning of August 23) in the Marketplace and for the first 48 hours it will be a free download. Yes, this is the full version of Texas Hold ‘Em and it will be the full version forever more. The only difference between downloading it within the first 48 hours vs. waiting is the price point…free vs. 800 Microsoft Points.
Starting at 0801 PST on August 25th, you’ll have to pay 800 Microsoft Points for the full version.
Get ready. This ain’t a bluff!
Texas Hold ‘Em includes:
- Persistent Bankroll
- Online multiplayer and tournaments
- Original music and sound effects
- High definition graphics
- Leaderboards
- Achievements

Yippie!
Never doubt the power of negative mass communication. First it was d/l content released on a Friday to appease the masses, now this. The internet works for the consumer boys and girls!

Ouch Deacon!
I’m glad I pulled Cat 6 in my place when we moved in. I would never trust wireless as my only 360 network connection.

Sirharper,
How much did thet CAT 6 cable run you?
Because from all the places I’ve looked, CAT6 seems to be priced alot higher than CAT5e.

Kmillard92…I had about 40,000 feet (in 1000 foot spools) just sitting around at work. I used about 1150 feet to do a total of 12 runs (1 quad jack and 4 double jack locations).
From what I recall a spool of Cat 6 cost us about $220 compared to about $80 for Cat 5e Plenum.

They still don’t do Friday afternoon DLC releases. Major said that they will release things in the early morning of Fridays sometimes though, around 5am. The only things that have ever come out on a Friday afternoon were the Prey demo and maybe the PGR3 pack.

I was just fooling around in single player, and I accidentaly hit “All In”, and bam… I got an achievement. I was psyched.
And i don’t even know how to play poker.

This game is a blast! I played for a while online with Goddfrey TGAC, Metastat, and DaneroTGAC. I saw a few of you guys were also in game and I want to make sure I get in games with all of you who want to play, especially Sir Harper and Deacon. The great thing for me is that I bought into the table for $200 and left about 45 minutes later with $622. Not a bad take. I am hoping to get a few hands in tonight as well. If you see me online invite me to your table.
