Xbox Live Gold unlocked on Xbox 360 this weekend

4.5
Xbox Live Gold services will be unlocked on Xbox 360 this weekend in the UK.

Microsoft says: "Try Xbox Live Gold membership at no additional cost on the Xbox 360 platform only from 12:00PM (GMT) on Friday 23rd May 2014 to 23:59 (GMT) on Sunday 25th May 2014."

Microsoft has made a number of significant announcements over the past few weeks, headlined by its decision to release an Xbox One without Kinect for the first time beginning in June.

From next month, the company will no longer gate entertainment apps behind an Xbox Live Gold subscription. It will offer a refund to current subscribers who no longer wish to use the service in light of the upcoming changes.

Games with Gold will also launch on Xbox One next month with Max: The Curse of Brotherhood and Halo: Spartan Assault. June's Xbox 360 Games with Gold offering will include free Dark Souls, Charlie Murder and Super Street Fighter IV downloads. A single Gold membership will provide owners with access to the free games for both Xbox One and Xbox 360.

Titled 'Game On', Microsoft's E3 2014 media briefing will begin on June 9 at 9:30am PT / 12:30am ET / 5:30pm BST.

Crossfit Should have free gold for u.s. Too. I mean it is Memorial Day weekend.


I don't see why this would make a difference. US customers get way more freebies than any other country on Xbox. Also on Memorial Day Weekend, should you not be giving your respects to the men and women who died while serving? So why don't you do that instead of playing games for a weekend.

More than likely down it to allow non gold members to experience gold, then if they like it they will buy it

yeah , cause comments like this dont seem odd and out of place at all? e.e
Xbox 360 its unlocked as stated in the "news" why a free weekend hits news now and then i have no idea just seems a filler. but they may bring it to Xbox ONE too.

This is for the xbox. It clearly states. "Xbox live gold unlocked on xbox 360 this weekend".

But other than that. I'm glad they did this! This will allow people to play that can't really afford gold! Other than getting trials.
