Microsoft Hosting Free Xbox Live Gold Weekend
Silver members may notice something screwy when they log in to Xbox Live today. Don't panic – everyone's getting the Gold treatment through the weekend, at no cost.
The promotion began at 9 a.m. Central, and it will continue through noon Monday. While it's active, you can check out online multiplayer, stream video on Netflix (provided you have a Netflix account), and access a variety of other Xbox audio and video apps.
Games including Assassin's Creed III, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, and Far Cry 3 are holding special double XP multiplayer promotions over the weekend, so this is a great time for Silver Members try them out if they haven't already.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
