Wait, this is the entire movie? Is it in HD? Is it the original or one of the sequels?

Anyone read the fine print where it says its only good for 14 days after the download completes or 24 hours after the initial play...lame.

If you get an error when you try and download it from the Burger King Ad, you should just go to Movies > Comedy > Austin Powers and you will notice that it's free and then you can start downloading from there.

That's the way to work around the advertisement error.

I already have Austin Powers on DVD. Hopefully the next free movie is one I haven't seen.

It's still a free movie on Xbox Live, which is more than I had before.

It's a McDonald's promotion, btw. They must have seen the success that Burger King had and tried to one up them. It's an all-out marketing war!

The next free one is Austin Powers 2, you can see the page for it already up on the Burgercon thing on XBLM

Or at least in HD.

This one isn't worth the time to download, IMO.

Oh boy another film I own on DVD. Hopefully the third free movie wont be Austin Powers 3.

Or at least in HD.

Very true. I most likely would download it if it was in HD, but the fact that it's only in SD is worthless to me.

I really like how we're getting free movies, and I hope that McDonalds (or someone) continues to do it for a long time. I love it when we get free TV shows (I finished downloading Chris Angel Mindfreak Season 3 Episode 1 the other day because it was free on the video marketplace, and I've never seen it so I'm really looking forward to watching it).

I like how people won't download this, its fucking free and you can delete it later.

Well man I know it's free, but just because it's free doesn't mean it's worth anything to me.

I already have Austin Powers on dvd, I've seen the movie like 10 times already, I have an HDTV and this is standard Def, it expires, and my DSL is slow, and I pay my own electric bill.

So yeah, I'll pass.

You can rent it again for free after it expires. That way, if you already watched it, don't start it again, you can watch it again 2 weeks from now (if you want).

Glad it's only a rental, just bought the original at the DDD sale. Only $5, but whatever!
