($50/365days) * 2days = ~$0.27. I agree, it's very generous /sarcasm.

That's strange. New Xboxes allow you to create up to 4 accounts, all of which will eligible for a free month of LIVE.

OR they're just taunting as many people as possible to come online for a couple days so they can get more needed info from your machine to ban the ones they missed. .27 of free gold = banned system for Microsoft and another new 360 sold. Cha Ching

Only reason I have a 360 is for the left 4 dead series sad that a company in my own state *coughs* valve will not distribute games on ps3! In my opinion Playstation 3 is a way better system!

I was going to buy one for the GTA DLCs, but I figured that would be like paying microsoft $360 for a console and account, just because they publicly bribed Rockstar to not make a PS3 release...and that would be wrong. I'll have to wait until someone cracks the 360's OS so I can install it on an old PC...and even then I am not going to get xbox live.

This is really starting to get embarrassing. Not only is the PS3 and Wii free to play online, even handhelds like the PSP and NDS offer free online play through their sister consoles.
I'm amazed so many customers keep paying these annual fees for something that should've been free from the get-go.

I heard that Sony will be introducing a paid online experience, don't rep that free point too much.
