Microsoft announces "free LIVE weekend" for Halo: Reach owners
It is assumed that many people who buy Halo: Reach over the next few days will already be Xbox LIVE Gold subscribers, but this “free LIVE weekend” might encourage Silver subscribers to also purchase the game this week. This could help increase sales of both the Halo game and Xbox LIVE subscriptions.
Multiplayer gaming on Halo: Reach will allow co-op missions for 4 friends or the ability for 8 players to battle against one another. This weekend will also see some organized multiplayer events such as allowing people to battle against the developers of the game.
Microsoft also said anyone who wishes to buy an Xbox LIVE Gold subscription will be able to buy a specially branded Halo: Reach membership card which provides access to the gaming service for 12 months plus 2 bonus months.
With an Xbox LIVE Gold subscription, more than just multiplayer gaming is available. You can access Twitter and Facebook, watch live TV (various services are used depending on what country one lives in) and watch a lot of films, TV shows and music from various service providers. Later this year, Microsoft will be expanding the Zune integration on the Xbox 360 with access to millions of songs and instant HD movie streaming.
