For those of you who didn't buy the full game, now you can get it for free!! (well... starting on Nov. 15th, and only free for 48 hours)
And also - if you've been a member of XBL sice 2002, you get 500MS points for free!

lame....i had to create a new account because my original one from 2002 got deleted due to my c/c changing and me forgetting to renew it for a few months.
Damn me to hell! I wish i could get my original xbox live name back.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll take any XBLA game for free (yes, even Yaris).

I, too, had to create a new account. I've since let that one expire as well. Maybe I'll get my 360 hooked up to get this game as no one locally will play Carcassone with me. :(

Haha, awesome.
As far as board/card/table-type turn based strategy games go Carcassone sure as heck isn't Catan, but it's not bad at all for a free game!!

And, in case anyone missed it, Joystiq says that only 10, yes 10, people will be getting the free MS points for the anniversary. Kind of hard to believe, but eh, whatever.

How nice, I downloaded this game about two months ago and haven't had a chance to play it yet.
Next time, I'm not spending the points until I'm ready to play.

The same thing happened to me with one of the Rainbow 6 Vegas download packs. Spent $10 on it and never touched it until it was free a few months later.
I can't wait to try Carcassone though. Wish MS would throw us freebies like this more often.

You gotta go to this site and register to get the 500 points but they don't really make that obvious to everyone. I thought you'd get them automatically too but I guess Microsoft wants to make you work for it:
