The word "free" is a funny thing, isn't it? If you think it means getting something without spending money on it, then we guess a new promotion that allows you to get Peggle Nights for yourself or a family member just by signing up for PopCap's newsletter is pretty darn free.
But if you think "free" means "without cost," "without sacrifice" or "without having to miss out on your kid's piano recital because that last orange peg is just sitting there mocking you," then Peggle Nights is just about the least "free" game you can find.
It's all in your perspective.

Even if he's not shouting, I get the feeling Tyrone speaks in capslock.

Dave Chappelle sucks. He just took his money and dropped his fans. I wanted more seasons Chappelle! I don't care that you have kids, I have needs too!

PC version I assume.

Not sure you meant this, but I just downloaded it for my Mac. Most of PopCap's games work on both PCs and Macs.

Though their website doesn't seem to work in Safari. Or Firefox. WTF? I just get directed to white page of death.

Possible to download Nights for the PS3? I just got Peggle today for PS3, but no Peggle Nights.

I've seen Dave Chapelle shopping at our mall. He lives near here.

To be fair you started it by adding a parenthetical to your username that perpetuates the PC gamer superiority complex stereotype. You're both being childish with those parentheses though and should get out of the console (platform?) wars while you have some semblance of dignity left.

Its from a modified version of the comic below. I have it on my desktop.

Its where the PC says, "I don't play with toys", and then the other consoles cry and it says, "Bunch of *******". : )

PopCap's site is incredibly slow for me right now. Either they need an upgrade or *way* too many people just heard about this offer.

Curses! I cant get my confirmation link to work!

Ditto. Hopefully it'll work in a bit. I'm really craving some Peggle now.

Whenever I follow the link in the email, it dumps me off at the popcap cart with Peggle Nights there for 20 bucks. Is this happening to anybody else? What am I doing wrong? I want freee peggle 2!

Hey, think I just found out the problem. It wouldn't work on the link I sent to my regular e-mail, so I tried another and that worked. Also, it seemed to help that I wasn't logged in to popcap when I did it the second time. Already downloaded it and ready to play.
