I'm just curious as to why you can only play social games with a 48 hour gold trial? I don't gold right now so I'm using 48 hour trials..

wanna play?
if you do you will probably hear me say "jesus flying kangeroo balls a lot".

It's probably because Microsoft just wants to make money off you

Yes. I am a Battle Rifle machine. The DMR is a poor replacement.

Well I never would have noticed that.

Halo 3 is my favorite game of all time, period. That's multiplayer, single player, co-op campaign, everything. I -blam!- love halo 3 and I include ODST coz it has Halo 3 in the title =)

Here I outlined the real reason why they did it:

Boosters and Scams - it's pretty easy for boosters to get a 50 in two days. When they run out of live they would then sell the account or use it to scam people.

A soda company (Dr. Pepper, I think) gave out 1 free code per email in a promotion via their website. People were getting unlimited codes and using that boost/scam technique listed above.

Also, good gamertags are harder to come by with a growing fanbase, and they are trying to get more people to stick to one account.
