So Major Nelson announced this morning that from the 29th to the 2nd, Xbox LIVE features will be free to all users. My LIVE subscription recently ran out so I was pretty happy about this news.
I logged on to Halo 4 to play some matchmaking, and saw that I still couldn't access War Games. Then I read this a quote that listed most of the countries where LIVE is available to be included in this event, except Europe.
Now I'm annoyed...

Great...more bad players/crap connections to put up with. Sigh...

As an amaerican who never ever lets his XBL run out, i have to say that's utter bull-blam!-.

Heh, 'merica..
-
Why not Europe? And I can't buy Far Cry 3 on Steam, or AC3 for that matter.
-
Should have been free in the first place. Paying monthly fees to play on an ancient machine? Cool story bro.
-
So we don't have to pay for multiplayer anymore? Something's up
-
Lots of new 360's in North American households after Black Friday. Maybe it's something to do with that?

I have a 14 day trial, but I don't really want to use it yet, if I'm gonna end up spending days not even playing because of coursework. Free LIVE for the weekend would've been nice...

I've had free Xbox live since January because rather than cancelling it Mico$oft keeps telling me try are charging an expired credit card. If only I still played my Xbox...

Why does Microsoft hate Europe? I don't live there, but still.

MS logic = fail

-
We're not included because we had a free weekend not too long ago where the rest of the world didnt
-
Finally, I can take a break from collecting 2 day trial codes.

In my country (Finland) XBL doesn't have: This free weekend. No youtube. No Xbox Live Indie No Xbox Live Rewards No game offers, like Halo 4's specializations etc. Aaaand we pay the same price as people in US do. I wonder why don't we get the same features.
-
About a week of free Live. I'm glad Microsoft is being so damn generous. I wish Sony would do the same thing. I hate knowing there are people out there that have to pay in order to play the same exact games. The Xbox people are going to be playing for that week...Oh wait. PSN is free.
-
That wouldn't be very nice. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Decimator Omega I hate you, you hate me, let's team up and destroy Microsoft.[/quote]

OK, good to know. I'll play AC3 this weekend then.

Yeah well... Microsoft should have given everyone a free gold weekend. Not just the US. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Miss Ginger That wouldn't be very nice.
