Xbox Live Gold Goes Free on Xbox 360 This Weekend

Xbox 360 gamers without an Xbox Live Gold subscription will be able to make use of the service for free this weekend, Microsoft announced today.

As it has in the past, Microsoft is making Gold free for everyone with an Xbox 360. A Gold subscription offers more perks on Xbox One than it does on Xbox 360, but at the very least, this means you'll be able to play Destiny, NBA 2K15, or any other 360 game online for free for the next few days.

Unfortunately, the weekend promotion won't allow you access to Deals With Gold or Games With Gold benefits; you'll need to actually pay for a subscription in order to get yourself some cheap or free games.

The free weekend has already begun, and runs from today through October 12.
