[quote name='mkernan']I just got an email (from PopCap) at 8 AM CST about this promotion. Kinda ass backwards. I'm not going to complain, because I got it yesterday, but if a large chunk of other people got the email this late, they're not going to be very happy.[/QUOTE]
Same here, I got one about 4:45 AM EST. I clicked the link just to see if they were extending it a day because of the error but it definitely isn't free now. Thankfully, I got it yesterday as well, but there's nothing like receiving notification for a deal the day after it happens.
