Lots of changes happening this week and in the months ahead for Microsoft and the Xbox team. One surprising change that Graeme Boyd, Xbox Community Manager in Europe tweeted was, Just been told that 'Xbox LIVE Silver Membership' will now officially be called 'Xbox LIVE Free Membership'. The times they are a-changin....

Followed up with, There are no changes to the features of Xbox LIVE Free Membership. And Xbox LIVE Gold's name doesn't change.

A few thought this was fake, so I decided to look into it. I booted up my Xbox 360 that has the 2010 Fall Dashboard Update Preview due out to the public early next month, logged into what used to be a Silver account (see pic above) and it now says, Xbox LIVE Free.

Not only on the console has Silver been removed but also on Xbox.com. It has been replaced with ALL LIVE MEMBERS, Sign Up for Free.

I had a friend check to see if his showed Xbox Live Silver or Free on his non-updated Xbox 360 and Silver accounts are still showing Silver. So you Silver account holders out there, you soon will have Xbox LIVE Free that makes no difference at all, except the name change.

If youre not sure whats included with an Xbox LIVE Silver Free membership, you get: FREE Game Demos, Access to HD Movies & TV Shows, Arcade Games, Game Add-Ons, Avatars & Avatar Fashion, and last but not least Voice & Text Chat with Photo Sharing.

It was nothing more than a mere name change.
