Get it while it’s hot, people.
According to a GameFly rep, the company has a “limited quantity of free downloads from the publisher.” Translation: get this now before it’s gone.
Update:One catch: GameFly does ask for your credit-card info. It’s a subscription service, and obviously the idea is to get you to sign up at some point. But you won’t get charged anything unless you do, so I don’t have a problem with it. If you do, cool, no harm, no foul, skip the giveaway. Also, as stated plainly on the product page, this offer is good only for residents of the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.
