Microsoft is starting a promotion this weekend for Xbox Live Silver members, giving them full Gold services, for free, allowing for online gameplay and full access to downloadable content.
A Gold subscription normally costs $50 (or less with discounts) per year and is necessary to play games online as well as access Netflix streaming. Silver members are given nothing but gamer profiles and friends lists.
For the weekend however, all silver members will be given Gold access, in the hopes that they will eventually sign up as a Gold subscriber.
The promotion goes live in the United States and Canada on November 20th at 12:00PM ET / 9:00AM PT until November 23rd at the same time.
In Europe, the promotion goes live from November 25th to November 30th.
