Microsoft to hold free Xbox Live Gold weekend for UK
As with the free U.S. Gold weekend, the U.K. version will let Xbox Live Silver players access the multiplayer online features for games that normally would need a paid Gold subscription. In fact, during the free weekend the games "Gears of War: Judgment," "Assassin's Creed 3" and "Far Cry 3" will all have double XP for multiplayer matches.
Netflix and LOVEFILM subscribers will be able to check out the Xbox 360 streaming video apps this weekend without the need to get the Xbox Live Gold service. If you are already a Gold member, Microsoft will offer you some free tokens that can be used to purchase TV episodes on Xbox Video.
While Microsoft recently said that it currently has 46 million people signed up worldwide to use the Xbox Live service, it has never revealed any official numbers on how many choose the paid Xbox Live Gold service.

It's not pointless. These weekends are just for the casual gamer who gets on every once and a while and wants to maybe play some online during that weekend.

Not really though, rather a teaser.

A free weekend of gold is pointless? If I ran out of gold I would appreciate this.

DanimalsRZA They should do a free gold weekend every month.
it probably cost a lot of money to do it and they are all about profit.
i don't think it cost anything to be honest. why would it?
