Xbox Live Gold free on Xbox 360 this weekend

Xbox 360 owners lacking an Xbox Live Gold subscription will have a chance to test drive the program throughout the weekend.

The Free Gold Weekend began early this morning and runs through midnight on October 12. Alongside online multiplayer functionality, joining the Free Gold Weekend also grants Xbox 360 owners access to a number of free to play games usually reserved for Gold subscribers, including Warface, World of Tanks Xbox 360 Edition and Happy Wars. Of course, all of that is in addition to the discounts and special promotions only available to Gold subscribers that are open to all Xbox 360 owners this weekend.

How do you sign up? You don't. There's no entry requirement for the Free Gold Weekend beyond owning a functional Xbox 360 and a viable Internet connection. Simply fire the console up and you'll find gratis access to the suite of Xbox Live Gold content.
