Xbox Live goes free for a week | News | TechRadar UK

Following a veritable slew of Xbox Live news over the last week, Microsoft is offering online gaming noobs and shy retiring 360 gamers alike a new reason to sign up for an Xbox Live Gold member's account – by making full access to Xbox Live free this coming weekend in the US and all next week in the UK.

Microsoft has announced it is hosting free Live weekends for Silver members to give them an opportunity to check out the raft of new XBL features, in addition – of course - to downloading as much free stuff as they can over the 48-hour period!

During the free Xbox Live weekends, you will have a chance to play against your mates (or unknown shouty American teens) in multiplayer gaming sessions, or just see how easy it is to use the new services such as Facebook, Twitter, Last.FM, Netflix and the like via your 360.

Here's the free Xbox Live schedule:

* All Live regions except those in Europe: November 20 from 12:00om EST to November 23 at 12:00pm EST.

* All European Live regions: November 25 from 17:00pm GMT to November 30 at 17:00pm GMT.

Now that is handy, my Xbox LIVE runs out dead on the 25th I think! I wasn't planning on renewing as I'll be out of the country a lot next year so a couple of extra days free MW2 action for me Bingo!

got a 48hr code here if you need it

I don't want to sound like a cheeky so and so, but I was wondering if anyone would mind providing me with a 48 hour code? if anyone has one to spare.

I hope i'm not breaking any rules saying this, my reasoning is that my live runs out tomorrow, and i didn't know what to do about this weekend knowing it is free next week! i was gearing myself up for a weekend without COD - which would be like going cold turkey!!

just incase anyone wonders what i did with the 48hr code i got with mod warfare 2, i gave it to my nephew who had just bought an xbox so he could try it out. I now realise I shoudn't have done!!

Many thanks to anyone who can help.
