First Free Live Weekend Coming *UPDATE*

[bapenguin]

According to 1UP (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3148257), the first XBox Live Gold free weekend is coming April 1st. Sponsered by Verizon the 72 hour free weekend allows Silver members to check out the online gaming aspect of XBox Live.

Update Somone may have jumped the gun (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/calendar/). - Thanks fitbabits

Free is good. I wonder how often they are going to do this.

Hopefully they limit it so Silver people only play with Silver people.

All us Gold players dont want to be flooded with cheap ass newb's!!! :D

[AniAko]

NO! Let the newbs in! And give them a free copy of DOA4! Then I can get my rating up! :D

The entry in the official Xbox Live Calendar has now been removed, so this may not be happening after all.

I think we just fell for an April Fool prank. :(

I blame Major Nelson.

Do these apply to Xbox Live for Xbox as well, or just X360?

[Serapth]

If its true, which is in doubt, I cant imagine it applying to Xbox aswell. See, with 360, you need to create a gamer profile regardless to Silver or Gold to do the live stuff. With Xbox, your either on live ( aka, $$$ ) or your not. So unless they were going to make all the user base sign up just for a free weekend ( I highly doubt ) it just doesnt work.
