Is it just letting people with silver membership play for free for a weekend?![]()
Excellent news, I'll be waiting for my refund for this weeks live subscription from Microsoft then... or maybe I'll be credited for a weeks extra membership.... no didn't think so.

EDIT - I'll personally refund you the maximum of 11p you're "losing out" this weekend if it really upsets you so much. That's only if you paid the £40 a year mind.

Ask them for some cheese and biscuits to go with your whine while you're at it.
Well no, I don't think so either. Why would they credit you a week when the 'promotion' is only for a weekend?

Thats a good idea. Or maybe I'll ask for a console that lasts more than 18 months... although I do like cheese.
My mistake, I should really learn to read things properly so that I don't get a band wagon rolling against me
As I said, I thought it was for a week. Anyway, the money isn't really an issue its more the principle that M$ will bend over backwards to squeeze more money out of people but generally seem to raise 2 fingers to their current customers. Or maybe that is just my experience of them.
, You seem to have the same attitude my Dole sponging mates do, In that anyone making you pay for something is evil and must be discredited, everything should be free, and the world owes you a living
