...starting now until march 7th. if you dont have gold, take advantage of the free online multi!

additionally, xbox 360 gearfest 2011 has started with many retailers offering xbox 360 accessories at great discounts. for example, get the new transforming dpad 360 controller/play and charge kit bundle at amazon.com for 20 bucks off!

At the very least, you need an Xbox.

technically, as long as you have a 360 and a broadband internet connection you already have xbox live silver (which is pretty much online access to the dashboard and the ability to download stuff from there). those with regular silver now have the full benefits of gold until march 7th.

So, they get the benefits of being a Sony / Nintendo / PC gamer for 3 days?

This is cutting edge marketing.

Did you just imply xbox live is better than the internet?

being free is in no way a testament towards the quality of the service.

He meant to say...

Free > Fee

...and that is true because there are more letters (4 > 3).

PC internet gaming > Xbox internet gaming
and that's not just because it's free....

We are seriously not going to have this debate for the umpteenth time...MKC has posted information that might be of interest to some, and that's all we really need.

Plus, he's correct.  The Live service is the best online service between the three consoles.  PCs are apples to oranges because there is no centralized service (though Steam comes close); companies tend to run their own servers for games, and some of those charge for access as well (e.g. most MMORPGs of note).
