This free trial will allow you to play the game free for the weekend (not including Sunday afternoon/evening) ONLY on steam provided the Steam servers allow you to connect. The servers were overloaded Friday evening for a time and did not allow people to connect to the UT3 Steam server(s). To continue playing afterward the free weekend, you will need to buy the game. This is the 3rd or 4th time in about a year that Steam has offered a free UT3 weekend of play. So if you do not buy the game, just keep the cached copy on your hard drive until the next free weekend. If you need the hard drive space, save the cached files to a DVDR.

Steam sells the game for $19.99 normally but it is $8 for a limited time.

Note that you can buy the game retail cheap at places like gogamer, eBay, etc and put the cd key into steam to save some money when it is not on sale at Steam. Buying a non-Steam version of the game will allow you to play it even when Steam is overloaded and will allow you to play your other Steam games on one PC while UT3 can be played at the same time on another PC.
