I got this game free with a bundle I bought. It comes with instructions and a month free gold trail but no disc. Does it not require a disc?

You should have the disk, contact your vendor and get your disk or your money from them.

Will this allow me to play the games without the disc?  Or will I have to have to put in the disc every time I want to play one?  That's one thing I like about the XBLA games, no disc swapping.

Looking around I think I've answered my own question.  It almost certainly won't allow play without the disc.  Oh well.

Take a look on Ebay.  I just grabbed a copy for $10 after shipping.  I already have Geometry Wars and Texas Hold 'Em, but the other 4 games would run me $35 do buy them through XBLA.

Okay well since I've gotten three XBox 360s in my 'career', I have gotten three of these discs.
However, while they all promise a free month of XBL gold on the front, none of  them have actually given me one.

...What's the dealio?

Sounds like something that you should take up with the retailer.

Where abouts does it say about the free month gold, on the disc or the xbox 360's box, because if it is on the 360's box it may mean the 1 month free you get with a new profile, which you get with 3 accounts (I think its 3 anyway) on every new 360.
